Woods Weller Bikeway

Project Summary 

To create a safer cycling environment, a series of raised 'slow points' are spaced along the street, with bicycle bypasses protected with landscaped islands, and improvements at intersections for both pedestrians and cyclists.

Funding was allocated in Council’s 2021-22 Annual Budget for this project and part was also received from the State Government’s State Bicycle Fund.

Community Benefit

The cycling route provides a parallel north-south transport alternative to busy King William Road and supports a mixed traffic environment with lower vehicle speeds (less than 40 km/h) and reduced traffic volumes of less than 1,000 to 1,500 vehicles per day. 

Project Stages

Council will deliver the Wood Weller Bikeway in a number of stages over coming years. The Bikeway plan involves five key stages which have been implemented progressively, including:

• Stage 1 – Wood Street (Northgate Street / Mitchell Street) completed in 2017.
• Stage 2 – Weller Street (Mitchell Street / Albert Street) completed in 2020.
• Stage 3 – Weller Street (Albert Street / Simpson Parade) Completed in 2022, with funding support from the SA Government’s State Bicycle Fund.
• Stage 4 – King William Road (Simpson Parade to Mike Turtur Bikeway) To be undertaken in future, subject to Council budgets and funding opportunities.
• Stage 5 – (Wood Street to Cross Road) To be undertaken in future, subject to Council budgets and funding opportunities.
