Sullivans Creek Path - 50th Anniversary
Well Station Drive - Park and Ride
09:00 – 11:00
50th Anniversary of Canberra's first bike path with history and explanation of possible (desired) extension. Join Pedal Power on a ride to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the construction of Canberra’s first bike path – the Sullivans Creek Path from Dickson to Civic. This 24 km long ride will explore some of Canberra’s oldest and best cycling infrastructure (although some is getting a bit tired), Sullivans Creek and its proposed re-naturalising and its effect on cycling infrastructure, as well as areas of proposed and potential new cycle path developments along Sullivans Creek and adjacent areas. There will be strategic stops and commentary. Proposed route: Start in the Park and Ride car park, around Kenny, along Morrison Street (that will join the Garden City Cycle Route), along Flemington Road and Northbourne Avenue looking at Sulivans Creek, into Southwell park, onto the existing Sulivans Creek bike path in Lyneham, up the path to Dickson College, then along the existing Sullivans Creek path (observing the Creek and what can be done to improve the path), into Civic and finally around the Civic Cycle Route to a cafe in Lonsdale Street.

Join us at Civic Square on Monday 4 September 2023 as we deliver our petition to Build and Maintain Canberra's Active Travel Network to the Minister for Roads and Active Travel, Chris Steel. Please arrive at 12pm for a 12:15pm start. At 12:15pm we'll begin with some short speeches and then at 12:30pm we'll all gather to take a photo of our banner showcasing the number of signatures on our petition. After, a few of us will meet with the Minister to hand over our petition. We've seen an overwhelming response to our petition so far and we're hoping to reach 1000 signatures by this petition delivery date to prove that Canberrans want a connected, safe, and convenient cycle and active travel network. Please bring your bikes, scooters and other active travel devices as we would love to show the ACT Government the diversity of non-vehicle transportation being used.  Don't fear, our campaign is not over! We'll keep our petition open so more and more Canberrans can add their voice until we see genuine commitments (and actions!) with timeframes to improve and expand our active travel network.  Register below to let us know that you'll be attending!
