A commitment to increase cycle infrastructure across the state has been announced by the State Government, with a record allocation of $129 million budgeted over the next four years.

Craig Wooldridge will present on this with discussion to:
• An introduction to the new and expanded DoT cycling team
• The Government strategy for extending the cycle infrastructure network
• An overview of the increased funding allocations
• The priority funded PSP roll out program for the next four years
• Progressing the long term cycle network plan
• Grant programs for local government projects-enabling strategic outcomes to increase on safety and connectivity
• A national update on the replacement for the Australian Bicycle Council

Let's hope they add on "when building major roadworks, be sure to plan suitable bike paths at the same time" so they don't have to hodge podge a solution later.

Unfortunately, I now have meetings Thursday afternoon. If anyone does attend, please post a summary!

Unfortunately I was stuck at work on the other side of the city and couldn't go.

I did come across a list of Main Roads PSP projects out to 2023 but it is pretty much just a list of the WABN priority projects minus the Armadale line PSP which seems to have been abandoned by Main Roads (possibly picked-up by ToVP and DoT as bicycle boulevard works rather than completely abandoned).

The works include:
Mitchell Freeway PSP- Glendalough to Hutton & Civic Place to Erindale
Fremantle PSP- Grant St to North Fremantle
Kwinana Freeway PSP- Cranford Ave Grade Separation & Thelma St to Mt Henry Bridge upgrade
Midland PSP- Swan River PSP Bridge (AT) Guildford
