A new Copenhagen-style bicycle lane connecting Caulfield and Glen Huntly stations is now open for cyclists.
The 2-way 2.5m wide separated cycling lane along Queens Avenue, Caulfield East was the final piece of work on the Glen Huntly Level Crossing Removal Project.
With the lanes now open, there are cycling and walking connections from Caulfield Station all the way down to McKinnon Station, making getting around the area safer and easier.
The lanes also make it easier to connect to the Djerring Trail in the east, which was delivered as part of the Caulfield to Dandenong level crossing removals.
The design of the lanes avoided vegetation removal along Queens Avenue and works on the path were delivered by Glen Eira City Council.
A new cycling lane safety separator has been installed between the path and Queens Avenue where the speed limit has been reduced to 50km/h, to ensure safety for cyclists.
The Level Crossing Removal Project has also worked with Glen Eira City Council to plant more than 1000 trees in the area, increasing the green canopy in the suburb.
Glen Eira is now level crossing free, with all 9 level crossings that were in the local government area now removed. Seven new stations have also been built, alongside new open space and more walking and cycling paths for locals to enjoy.
The 2 dangerous and congested level crossings at Neerim and Glen Huntly roads are now gone for good, and the new modern Glen Huntly Station is open making the Frankston Line a step closer to being level crossing free by 2029.
