Bikes Vs Trucks – Fix the Bike West madness!
Congratulations to the Western Suburbs community who put their weight behind this campaign. We have succeeded and won a fix for this intersection. The state government has committed to funding to fix this intersection, install signals, and make it safe for cyclists.

Parker and Whitehall Streets, Footscray. This is the most dangerous intersection for cyclists in the West.

Bicycle infrastructure in the West is substandard and dangerous. Roads are also choked with trucks — more than 20,000 trucks drive through the inner West every single day. With the number of people cycling increasing fast immediate action is needed to develop quality, safe and direct bicycle routes in the West.
