Community consultation has opened for a proposed cycleway linking Mosman and Neutral Bay, with residents invited to comment on planned street changes and a new cycling corridor.
Feedback Period Underway For Mosman Cycleway Proposal
Members of the public are currently able to provide feedback on the proposed Mosman cycleway project, which outlines upgrades along a corridor connecting Rangers Avenue in Mosman with Bent Street in Neutral Bay.
Consultation will remain open until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, 29 March 2026. Feedback can be submitted through an online survey, by email or by post.
A series of information stalls and community engagement sessions have also been scheduled during March 2026 at locations along the proposed route.
Proposed Route Linking Mosman And Neutral Bay
The project outlines a 1.5-kilometre two-way cycling route connecting Mosman and Neutral Bay through several local streets.
Under the proposal, the route would extend through Rangers Road, Harrison Street, Wycombe Road, Yeo Street and Spofforth Street, linking Rangers Avenue in Mosman to Bent Street in Neutral Bay.
Design plans show the cycleway would typically be around 2.4 metres wide along several sections. A wider two-way segment of approximately 2.8 metres is proposed near the intersection of Yeo Street and Bydown Street, while a 3.4-metre shared path connection is planned near Neutral Bay Public School.
Traffic Changes Proposed Along The Route
Several traffic adjustments are proposed as part of the Mosman–Neutral Bay cycleway plan.
Barry Street would be converted to a northbound one-way street, while Harrison Street would operate as a one-way eastbound road to accommodate the cycleway and adjusted parking arrangements.
Right-turn restrictions are also proposed at the intersection of Yeo Street and Wycombe Road during weekday peak periods. The restrictions would apply from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and again from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday, affecting eastbound traffic on Yeo Street and southbound traffic on Wycombe Road. Buses would be exempt from the restriction.
Two bus stops on Spofforth Street are also proposed to be removed to allow space for parking changes and a new crossing for pedestrians and cyclists.
Walking And Streetscape Improvements
The proposal includes several upgrades aimed at improving pedestrian access along the corridor.
Works outlined in the design include pavement renewal and additional tree planting. New or upgraded pedestrian crossings are proposed at Watson Street, Bydown Street, Spofforth Street and Rangers Avenue.
Continuous footpaths are also proposed across Palmer Street, Bydown Street, Barry Street, Rangers Lane, the intersection of Harrison Street and Rangers Road, and outside Sydney Life Church on Yeo Street. Pavement and pram ramp upgrades are also planned at Ben Boyd Road, Wycombe Road and Murdoch Street.
Parking And Tree Changes
Under the proposal, 57 parking spaces would be relocated within the project area, with the total number of spaces remaining unchanged.
An additional 26 parking spaces are proposed on Barry Street following its conversion to one-way traffic. The design also indicates that five trees would be removed while ten would be planted, resulting in a net increase of five trees.
Project Context
The Mosman cycleway proposal aims to improve cycling connections between Mosman and Neutral Bay and strengthen links within the wider cycling network.
The project also aims to reduce traffic on local streets used by drivers avoiding Military Road and improve safety for children travelling to Neutral Bay Public School and Redlands Junior Campus.
The proposal forms part of a Walking and Cycling Strategy covering the period from 2022 to 2027 and is funded through the Transport for NSW Get NSW Active grant.
If the proposal proceeds following consultation, an application for construction funding is scheduled for October 2027.
