2015 Cycling imagineering workshop report

This is a report of a workshop about cycling in Western Australia. Two Dutch cycling experts were invited to present and facilitate the workshop: Martijn J. te Lintelo (City of Nijmegen-Local Government) and Arie Vijfhuizen (Royal Haskoning DHV-Private Sector). The visit consisted of three planning days and a full day imagineering Workshop. The planning days provided the Dutch experts with an overview of the Perth context and an opportunity to experience Perth as a cyclist as well as site visits to a number of example roads. This element was critical to ensuring that Arie and Martijn built a good background on the key issues and challenges. 140 people attended the workshop from state/local government, private sector transport planners/traffic engineers/urban planners, academics, advocacy groups and individual advocates. The workshop had a focus on five key areas to assist with the ongoing development of a number of key initiatives within the Western Australian Bicycle Network Plan: Local Roads; Arterial Roads; Connections to Schools; Connection to rail stations and hospitals; Roundabouts.
