I’ve started this Topic to bring together some recent conversations here and on [Biking in Dunedin](https://www.facebook.com/groups/670530580780641) regarding the proposed Albany Street Cycleway. > [@Lowering the speed: 30 kph zones](https://spokes.nz/t/lowering-the-speed-30-kph-zones/168/6): > > There’s a plan for an Albany Street cycleway? I’ve always thought a better location for a bike path would be along the roads beside the Leith. @Duncan suggested that we might be better developing a cycle path along the Leith instead: ![image](https://spokes.nz/uploads/default/original/1X/172b511d807a83ead898954a4687246c7f91316b.jpeg) In reply: > [@steve](#): > > Yes, a much better option than Albany St. > > However the real problem is it doesn’t people from and too where the want to go. The destinations in the area are the University, Polytechnic, Teachers College, Logan Park sports grounds, Logan park High School and the Signal Hill bike tracks. All these should have good safe cycle access. To do this most of the streets need to be cycle friendly and low speed. It wouldn’t be that hard to do! I’ve often thought that this would be a much better option too. Albany St would suck for many reasons, particularly glass and cars. Where is the DCC at with this? And is there an opportunity for them to pivot if we present a much better idea? --- _[View the full topic](https://spokes.nz/t/an-albany-street-cycleway-is-there-a-better-alternative/174)._
