Northern Beaches Council has announced an amazing new 9.2-kilometre shared path between Beacon Hill and St Ives is currently under construction.
Council says the $7.2 million Pipeline Active Transport Corridor will provide walkers and cyclists with a wider, safer way to travel between Northern Beaches suburbs, therefore connecting local communities.
It is understood the project will be completed in eight stages, with work currently underway on section six from Bantry Bay Road to Warringah Road, via Rangers Retreat Road Reserve, Reserve Rangers Retreat Road, and the Sydney Water pipeline.
Northern Beaches Mayor Michael Regan said the active transport corridor will encourage healthier, more environmentally friendly transport options.
“We know Northern Beaches residents are seeking more active transport options to beat traffic, maintain healthy, active lifestyles and choose more sustainable transport options,” Mayor Regan said.
“Imagine a future where you leave the car at home, avoid parking and congestion, and enjoy a healthier, calmer commute to work or school on foot or bike.”
