Summary
The Minns government has approved a $60 million project to transform an old rail corridor into a 6km bicycle and pedestrian path in Sydney’s inner west, linking two cherished waterways. The GreenWay is nearly completed and will link with the Metro line by 2026, offering a vibrant alternative to car-dependent lifestyles. Local support from Jo Haylen highlights its importance for urban development and green spaces are planned to enhance the network. The project, inspired by best practices in cities like Brooklyn and London, aims to create a world-class active transport hub with public art and amenities.
