Planned Works: Guildford Road Principal Shared Path (PSP)
The construction of a Guildford Road Principal Shared Path (PSP) between the Perth and Midland activity centres has been identified as one way of reducing traffic congestion along the corridor.
Studies undertaken by the Department of Transport (DoT) indicate that one of the greatest barriers that prevent people from riding bicycles is the lack of safe cycling facilities.
The provision of the PSP will play an important part in encouraging pedestrians and bicycle riders between Perth and Midland and, due to the alignment of the path along the railway line, will improve access to stations along the Midland line.
