SAFER pedestrian and cycling paths are being built in Meadowbrook’s health precinct.
Work has started on the connections, with a vision to eventually create “Loganlea Road Healthy Street”.
The project aims to better connect Logan Hospital to proposed medical facilities and the Meadowbrook shopping centre.
A new signalised pedestrian crossing will be installed across busy Loganlea Road along with upgraded street lighting and new 24/7 safety cameras.
There will be a wide shared pathway for pedestrians and cyclists from Loganlea train station into the precinct as well as additional seating, shade trees and public art.
Loganlea Road will be widened from four lanes to six in some sections and parts of the verge will be reclaimed to improve pedestrian safety.
Deputy mayor Jon Raven said the project is the first capital works to be delivered through Council’s $5 million Meadowbrook Implementation Fund.
The fund was created to advance priority projects based on significant community and local business feedback from the 2018 Meadowbrook Summit.
“Meadowbrook is fast becoming a leading health, education and wellness hub. This project will connect and complement the public and private sector investment in the precinct,” Cr Raven said.
