Overview
The Active Travel Plan (ATP) is a large network of dedicated shared paths which, when complete, will connect the suburbs of Wagga Wagga and provide residents with a safe, alternative transport option for commuting.
The Active Travel Plan Stages 1 and 2 has 13 shared bicycle and pedestrian path links. The project commenced in 2018 starting with planning, budgeting and design work, with construction commencing in mid-2019.
A significant portion of project has been completed. However, due to complexities of the project there are delays in the construction of some sections of the ATP such as the Forest Hill link.
