Toowoomba - Cecil Plains Road (Taylor Street), Tor Street to Boundary Street, design separated cycle track

A separated cycle track is being designed along Taylor Street, between Tor and Boundary streets, as part of the Toowoomba–Cecil Plains Road (Taylor Street) bikeway project.

This initiative is a key element of Toowoomba’s Principal Cycle Network and supports a broader strategy to improve active transport options for residents, visitors, and commuters.

The proposed 2.65-kilometre bikeway is being developed to provide a safe, direct, and connected route, encouraging more people to choose bike riding as a regular mode of transport.

Key features

Two-way bikeway located on the southern side of Taylor Street between Tor and Boundary streets, with raised priority crossings at side streets.
Upgraded crossings for people riding bikes and walking at all signalised intersections to improve safety and accessibility.
New traffic signals on Taylor Street at the Wyalla Street and McGregor Street intersections to improve safety and connectivity for all users, especially vulnerable users.
Restriction of right turns at Berry Street to allow for the extension of the right turn lane at the Taylor Street and Tor Street intersection.
Restriction of right turns at Belcher Drive, Village Court and Chainey Court intersections to allow for raised priority crossings.
Potential for additional turning restrictions on smaller side streets.
U-turn facility at the Greenwattle Street intersection to reduce the impact of these reduced turning restrictions for road users.
Conversion of some informal on-street parking into bikeway space to minimise impacts on private property, trees and public utilities.
Reduction of the centre median width to provide space for the bikeway.
Repositioning of the Wyalla Plaza and Berry Street bus stops to accommodate the bikeway.
