ABSTRACT
Bicycle paths are major benefits for any community, which can rely on bicycles for public transport, as any reduction in automobile use reduces the negative impacts of the city on local and global environmental problems. As Burswood Lakes is to be a transit-orientated development, it is critical that convenient access for cyclists be provided. To maximize use of cycle paths, it is essential that they provide a safe environment for cyclists of all ages, with adequate and safe facilities along the routes and at destinations. As the identification of safe nighttime routes will differ in each location because of the contextual nature of crime, it will be necessary to use crime risk assessment procedures to determine specifically which routes need particular attention. All arrangements with respect to bicycle parking at the train station need to be resolved in consultation with police crime prevention specialists and the appropriate rail authority.
