PEDDLE your opinions to get a new Mooloolaba bikeway path project on track.

Using feedback provided as a result of community consultation, Sunshine Coast Council is one step closer to delivering the region's first urban separated bikeway between Mooloolaba to Minyama.

The proposed design and route for the two-lane, three metre wide separated bikeway will be available for viewing at two community 'drop-in' information sessions later this month.

Members of the community are invited to view plans of the design and route, and speak with members of the project team.

Transport portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski said the flagship project would accommodate cyclists of all abilities from recreational to sports cyclists, and was expected to deliver a host of benefits to the area including improved access and safety, reduced traffic congestion and much needed streetscape improvements.

"With research showing more than 70,000 people are riding bikes on the Sunshine Coast each week, the bikeway will make the Mooloolaba to Minyama area more accessible as well as improving the safety of cyclists, pedestrians and motorists along busy Brisbane Road," Cr Baberowski said.

Stage one construction will start in July

Sunshine Coast Council will keep local residents and businesses informed during construction. Information about the project will also be available on council's website.

This multi-million dollar project will be jointly funded by council and the State Government under the Cycle Network Grants Program.

The Mooloolaba to Minyama Separated Bikeway design and route drop-in information sessions are on:

Thursday February 26, 4-7pm, at Mooloolaba Surf Club, The Esplanade, Mooloolaba (Events Room)

Saturday February 28, 8-10am, The Yacht Club, Parkyn Parade, Mooloolaba (Commodore's Room)

People can attend either session at any time, and stay as short or as long as desired. There will be no formal presentations and RSVPs are not required.
