Why Moore Park Rd Cycleway is the perfect alternative option. It's already built!

Moore Park Road Cycleway vs Oxford Street Cycleway. 

The Moore Park Road cycleway already exists and provides cyclists a direct, continuous, high-capacity east–west route without disrupting local streets. And it's only 1 minute from Oxford Street!

The Moore Park corridor has long, uninterrupted stretches, unlike Oxford Street’s tight intersections, bus stops, and turning points. Cyclists get a smoother, safer ride.

Oxford Street is a critical connector for buses, emergency vehicles, trades, and local resident access. The Moore Park route helps avoid choking this critical road even further.

Moore Park Road Cycleway has the space and width to properly separate bikes from fast-moving traffic. It keeps cyclists and vehicles separated where it’s safer for everyone.

Oxford Street’s narrow width forces compromises that increase conflict between bikes, cars, and pedestrians. Safety improves when infrastructure is placed where it fits.

Cyclists are already using the Moore Park route — proving demand and viability. Usage today shows that cyclists already prefer it for its safety and continuity. Redirecting them onto Oxford Street forces them into a more dangerous, stop-start environment.

The Moore Park Cycleway helps preserve Oxford Street’s commercial recovery efforts. Oxford Street is trying to revive retail, hospitality, and nightlife.

Major lane removals and turning bans undermine this, while the Moore Park route supports cycling without jeopardising local economic revival.
