State Member for Holsworthy, Melanie Gibbons has announced a big win for Liverpool cyclists, with a contract awarded for 30 secure bike spaces to be installed at Liverpool Station.
Bike sheds providing secure spaces will be installed at more than 40 train stations and transport interchanges around Sydney and surrounding regions.
Ms Gibbons said a contract has now been awarded to deliver the first nine locations, including Liverpool, which were selected based on demand and patronage at these locations.
“At Liverpool Station, a bike shed with 30 spaces will be made available for customers,” Ms Gibbons said.
“We will ensure the shed is located in a convenient location close to public transport.
“Installation of the bike shed at Liverpool Station is expected to start next year,” Ms Gibbons said.
“These bike sheds will be a great facility for cyclists in NSW, particularly those who catch public transport as part of their daily commute.”
Use of the bike sheds will be free for cyclists and accessed using their OPAL cards.
These bike sheds will be delivered as a part of the NSW Government’s Transport Access Program, a program delivering modern, secure and accessible transport infrastructure.
Since the Transport Access Program was launched in April 2012, more than 400 projects are under way or have been completed.
“We’ve strived to make public transport an attractive option for people and the availability of these new bike sheds will make it easier for customers to use public transport,” MS Gibbons said.
