Hullo,
I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge on what, if anything, is being done to join the Prospect Hwy cycle path with prospect Reservoir. Could this be brought up with the council? Thanks.

Also this gap is right at the edge of 2 council areas so neither are willing to spend money there.

I rode this section with a group of beginners ( my kids ) last weekend and it's perfectly good for any level of cyclist. The Gt Western Hwy can be crossed as a vehicle or as a pedestrian without problems. Blacktown Rd here is fairly quiet.

> So even though the dreamed of underpass is still no closer to happening, there is a good through route now that doesn't involve that awful road crossing at Toongabbie Rd/Gt Western Hwy nor that awful and busy on-road kilometre past Fox Hills golf course.
>
> Holroyd Council have also informed us that when the Pemulwuy estate passes 90% completion that is the point when they put pressure on the developer to complete ALL of the public infrastructure such as the shared paths. The M4 underpass would be included in that.
>
> Now that McCoy Park is completed by Parra Council this missing link at Fox Hills is the only gap in a path that would be continuous from the canal to Old Windsor Rd. Both Camwest and the RTA can see regional significance of this gap being completed. Also, Holroyd Council have repeatedly stated their support for this underpass to be built.
