Missing Mitchell Freeway Principal Shared Path link opens
The new Mitchell Freeway Principal Shared Path (PSP) connection between Civic Place and Telford Crescent is now open.
The 1.4 km new four-metre-wide-path now forms part of the broader PSP network, improving safety, journey times and connections for people walking, riding and commuting in the area.
The PSP also features a new pedestrian and cyclist underpass beneath Stephenson Avenue featuring bespoke artwork, A Patchwork of Stories, created by local Western Australian artists David Ledger and Joanna Clark.
Inspired by Stirling’s market garden heritage and their personal connection to the area, the artists developed a work that celebrates the stories and history of the local community.
Take a moment to enjoy the artwork as you pass through the new connection.
Some finishing works continue on local shared path connections which will continue to open up in stages.
