The Redlands Insitute is proud to announce it major project for 2009-10, a proposal that will set an exciting precedent for innovative personal transport infrastructure into the future.

Launched to the media on Tuesday, February 23 this year, the Institute has proposed a new Greenway for the Redlands that provides an alternative to highways, freeways and bus ways that leach Government coffers and create long-term environmental impacts.

Instead the Redlands Greenway will provide a safe, fauna-friendly transit alternative that will encourage the use of low speed low-emission transport modes such as bicycles, Segways, electric scooters and mopeds.

The route will provide a rapid, pedestrian-friendly link between the communities of Capalaba and Birkdale and Cleveland and Moreton Bay.

In this way, it will be a destination in itself, comprising points of genuine interest, linking our villages, improving both pedestrianisation and cyclist safety, and building healthier communities by encouraging more people to leave their cars behind to walk or cycle to destinations.

When completed, the proposed Redlands Greenway will comprise 19 kms of sealed pathways directed along an existing route that already has the appropriate zoning. Click HERE for our Redlands Bikeway Concept Map (5Mb).
