The City of Sydney local pedestrian, cycling and traffic committee will vote on the 16th of February whether to make 158 one way streets legal for contraflow cycling (in the opposite direction of cars). This would provide a useful network of low traffic cycling routes complimentary to the necessary separated infrastructure.

The criteria for selecting the one way streets is:
- sight distance free of obstructions;
- traffic volumes and vehicles speeds are low; and
- road geometry does not present an unacceptable risk

759 submissions were received from 337 individuals and 4 community and bike user groups with 579 responses supporting the proposal, 18 providing neutral feedback and 172 opposing.
