The Copenhagen-style bicycle lane between Neerim Road and Normanby Avenue is the final section of path connecting Glen Huntly and Caulfield train stations and will provide a safe cycling connection for the local community.  

After engaging with the community and listening to their views, LXRP and Council have agreed a construction solution that limits impacts to the trees on the racecourse side of Queens Avenue and retains residential side parking.  

Queens Avenue will be widened on the racecourse side and a reduced speed limit of 50km per hour will be introduced.  

LXRP will fund construction as part of the Glen Huntly Level Crossing Removal Project, and Council will deliver the works on behalf of LXRP.  

This final section of bicycle path meets a Victorian Government commitment to deliver the missing link in the area’s cycling corridor.  

Improving cycling access in the area was identified by the community and key stakeholders as a core objective of the Glen Huntly Level Crossing Removal Project.

The works are expected to commence in the coming months and be completed by the end of the year.  

With the removal of the final two level crossings in Glen Eira at Neerim Road and Glen Huntly Road, the municipality is now level crossing free.

“We have listened to the community and heard their message loud and clear.  We’d like to thank the LXRP for working with us to find a solution that balances safety, keeping parking, and retaining trees and now Council will deliver it”.

“This is a great outcome for the community and an example of what can happen when different levels of government come together. I thank the community for their tireless advocacy for the best possible solution.”
