Island Bay Healthy Streets is a very loose organisation of Island Bay residents who want to create a happier, healthier suburb through the promotion of walking, cycling and creating fairer, sustainable, attractive urban spaces. This includes the development of Section 1 of the Island Bay to City Cycle Route (from Shorland Park to Wakefield Park) as an important part of creating safer and easier cycling in our suburb. The Island Bay Cycleway is about more than just infrastructure, however. It's about creating a culture where riding a bike is a completely normal and viable way of getting around. It's also about promoting cycling as a way of making our suburb a much nicer, safer, and healthier place to live.
