Presenters: Andrew Bishop and Chris Menz, Renewal SA

Organised by: Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure

Description: The culture, created by previous urban design and advertising which glorifies the car will take a lot of changing. How can new urban developments such as Bowden transform the deeply ingrained attitudes about car travel and convince residents to ride bikes instead?

We answer this question with marketing campaigns that promote cycling and open the community’s eyes to its lifestyle, financial and environmental benefits.

Apartment living provides limited opportunity for typical two car households due to the high cost of onsite parking yet still people want the comfort and convenience of their own car. Bowden strives for a healthy, cycle friendly lifestyle by creating quality public spaces and great connections to everything that matters including work, shopping, and community places.

Itinerary: The tour will meet and end at the Adelaide Convention Centre and include about 30 to 45 min of very casual cycling with the following activities at Fifth Street Bowden:

- View the cycling display to be set up in Plant 1 warehouse;

- Talk to representative(s)  from Adelaide Bike Kitchen about some of their bike art work

- Discuss the shared streets design with the Bowden team

- Pedal powered smoothies or coffee from Plant 13

- Power meter trials / leader board

Craigburn Farm – From Cows to Bikes

A master class on building trails in natural areas. Hear how the state’s environment department has turned previous farming land into one of Adelaide’s new ‘must ride’ destinations. Learn about some of the innovative solutions used in the development of the trail network and how the environment is being restored.

 

Intended audience: Delegates interested in hearing about creative solutions to building trails in natural areas.

Date and time:

Friday 30 May 2014: 1300–1630 hours

Start location: Adelaide Town Hall / Finish location: Adelaide Convention Centre

Presenter: Kain Gardner, Project Manager Trails

Organised by: Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources

Description: Once home to a herd of cows, this 150 ha of inner suburban bushland is quickly transforming into Adelaide’s preeminent shared use trail network. Connecting with key suburban housing developments and linking with a council managed commuter path, Craigburn Farm; now a part of the Sturt Gorge Recreation Park and managed by the state’s Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources, is a perfect example of  how cycling can be integrated into natural areas. In fact it epitomises the flow on benefits that can occur when you mix cycling (walkers and horse riders are also welcome) with the natural environment and focus on social and environmental outcomes.

Of course building trails in areas such as this is not without its own unique issues. Questions such as ‘Where is all that water coming from and why is it flowing over my trail?’ often cause a lot of head scratching.  Sometimes even the best trail planning can’t predict the unforeseen, and solutions aren’t always simple. Or are they?

Come and join us to experience this much talked about trail network and learn more about some of the more innovative solutions for sustainable natural area trail construction.

Inclusions: Lunch. Water and snacks. Mountain bikes provided.

Itinerary:

1300 hours: Bus departs from – Adelaide Town Hall

1345 hours: Workshop – Craigburn Farm (Sturt Gorge Recreation Park)

Frome Street Bikeway

An opportunity to ride along the Frome Street Bikeway and quiz the engineers who designed it – bike facilities include kerb-side separated bike lanes, contra-flow bike facilities in one-way streets and shared use paths. 

 

Intended audience: Conference delegates
Date and time:

Friday 30 May 2014: hours

Friday 30 May 2014: 1330–1530 hours

Start and finish location: Adelaide Town Hall
Presenter: Anna McDonald and Chris Hardman, Adelaide City Council
Organised by: Adelaide City Council
Description: As part of Adelaide City Council’s journey to create a city that makes cycling a real transport choice we have embarked upon developing the ‘next generation’ of cycling facility, by creating a bikeway that separates cyclists from pedestrians and vehicles and safely connects suburbs with the city.

The result is the Frome Street Bikeway which connects the inner southern suburbs around Unley to the City. The bikeway facilities include shared use paths, contra-flow cycling in one-way streets and kerb-side separated bike lanes.

The design of this facility in itself has been a journey that has pushed the limits of existing design standards, invited the community to input into the design outcome and polarised stakeholders with opposing views.

At the time of writing the journey is not yet over –construction has recently commenced and design work is still being completed. There are many hurdles to overcome - and hopefully we will be able to discuss these during the tour – but we can be certain that we will have taken Adelaide on the next stage of our journey to become a city that welcomes more people on bikes.

Itinerary: The tour will start and finish at the Adelaide Convention Centre and will include a leisurely ride to and along the Frome Street Bikeway, with plenty of opportunities to stop and examine the bikeway facilities and ask questions to the engineers that designed it.

Places available: Maximum 10 people
Cost: Complimentary for conference delegates

Thursday 29 May 2014: 1050–1250 hours

Start and finish location: Adelaide Convention Centre

Presenter: Ray Scheuboeck, Adelaide City Council

Organised by: Adelaide City Council

Description: The Park Lands Trail is a shared use trail that will eventually encircle the City of Adelaide as well as establish a link to and between iconic open spaces within the Adelaide Park Lands. Once complete, it will form a key connection within a network of trails that extend beyond the Park Lands, including the Torrens/Karra Wirra-Parri Linear Park.

To date Council, in partnership with the State Government, has constructed approximately 12km of the final 18km Park Lands Trail to form what is known as the ‘Southern Loop’; linking the River Torrens/Karra Wirra-Parri Linear Park Trail with the west, south and east Park Lands.

The Park Lands Trail stands for Council’s commitment to encourage people to explore the Park Lands on foot or on bike, with established sections of the trail already well-used and loved by cyclists and walkers.

To complement the development of the Park Lands Trail and as part of Council’s commitment to enhance the visitor experience and understanding of our City streets and Park Lands, Council has been working with consultants to develop a Wayfinding Strategy.

The strategy aims to create a system that effectively covers all wayfinding decision points across the City and Park Lands for both cyclists and pedestrians. It presents a family of wayfinding signage that is highly visible, condensed, cost effective, maintainable and easily updateable whilst not imposing additional visual clutter.

The first (pilot) wayfinding signage will be installed in various street and Park Lands locations, some of which will be included in this tour.

Itinerary: The tour will start and finish at the Adelaide Convention Centre and will include a leisurely ride to and through the eastern Park Lands along sections of the Park Lands Trail, with plenty of opportunities to stop and discuss the wayfinding signage as well as enjoy the stunning native vegetation.
