Pitt Street North Cycleway Construction
Tender ID: 471434
Tender Details
Tender Description
The City of Sydney ("the City") invites Requests for Tender to carry out construction works on the Pitt Street North Cycleway in accordance with this request.
The Cycling Strategy and Action Plan was adopted by the City in 2007, and incorporated into the City's strategic plan, Sustainable Sydney 2030. The City has since planned and largely implemented the delivery of the first suite of cycle network projects and updated the Strategy and Action Plan in 2018.
The City's cycleway projects focus on safety, function, prioritisation and a separation from general traffic and pedestrians for cyclists.
As part of the response to COVID-19 the City and Transport for NSW have jointly delivered six pop-up cycleways, including on Pitt Street North. The pop-ups provide more options for people to walk and cycle around the city more safely.
As part of the Pitt Street pop-up cycleway the following has been implemented:
- The two western lanes have been converted into extra space for people walking and a separated cycleway.
- Painted road markings and temporary barriers and flexible posts have been installed to create the cycleway zone.
- The pop-up cycleway is bi-directional and the required changes to traffic signals have been made.
- Parking has been removed along the western side of the street and parking restrictions have been adjusted on the eastern side of the street to accommodate business and operational needs.
The street configuration and road space allocation in the permanent design is to be same as the pop-up design
