In the past I have ridden this route a number of times but I will not do it again unless safe bike path installed

Fantastic initiative that will bring tourism to the area for little investment.

This would be a HUGE tourist boost and encourage families, schools and Bairnsdale locals to explore their area.

A dedicated path would make so much sense here.

A safer cycling and walking track between Paynesville and Bairnsdale is long overdue not only for safety but also as an asset to the area for tourism.

A well overdue safety initiative especially now with an increasing number of bike riders in the Bairnsdale area

Sounds like a great idea & much safer of course. This would enhance the discovery of our wonderful region.

As a handcyclist (due to spinal injury), I do not feel safe cycling on main roads and this would give cycling access to the local rail-trails.

A dedicated bike lane is required as public transport between Paynesville and Bairnsdale is non existent and makes it difficult to commute between the two towns if you do not have a car. With ebikes and escooters becoming more of an alternative source of transport given increasing fuel prices, the shire should be more proactive to the shifting transport needs of the populous and the environmental impact of cars. As a property owner in Raymond Island, I fully support more initiatives for bike friendly infrastructure!!

Ever since I moved here cannot understand why there is no bike/walking track from Paynesville to Bairnsdale.
