Project description
Planning is underway on Hall Village path.
Planning is underway for active travel infrastructure between the Barton Highway and Hall Village.
Following community feedback, the ACT Government is investigating options for active travel infrastructure along the Barton Highway, connecting to Hall Village.
This project will develop design options for a new walking and cycling path from Victoria Street in Hall, along the Barton Highway and past Clare Hermes Drive, finishing at the start of the dedicated C7 cycle path at Edie Payne Street. Works may be constructed in stages.
Hall Village currently has no main walking or cycling path connecting it to other parts of Canberra. A recreational trail exists on the eastern side of the Barton Highway and Victoria Street which is part of the Centenary Trail. However, this path is a recreational trail only and is not suitable for cycling, and other micromobility users.
The initial feasibility study phase of works has been funded by the Australian Government under the Federal Active Transport Fund.
Construction of the active travel infrastructure is subject to future funding.
