Community members are being urged to share their experiences of using footpaths and walking or cycling tracks in Yarragon and Trafalgar as part of a new study.
Made possible by a Transport Accident Commission (TAC) grant, Baw Baw Shire Council has launched its Yarragon and Trafalgar Pedestrian and Cycling Safety Study.
Council now needs community feedback to provide ideas on how to enhance safety and connectivity for cyclists and pedestrians in the two towns.
Feedback will give a better understanding of how the community uses existing paths and trails as well as where opportunities for improvement may exist.
"Community consultation is the most important stage of this study," Baw Baw Shire mayor Annemarie McCabe said. "It will be the valuable input we receive directly from people who live with and use the paths that will give us the best understanding of what's working, what's not, and point us to any shortfalls or areas that need to be improved."
"Whether you walk to work or school each day, occasionally ride a bike on the weekend, or use the paths as a visitor, we want to hear from you," Cr McCabe added.
To share your feedback, visit bawbawconnect.com.au to complete a brief survey or submit ideas or suggestions using an interactive map.
Community consultation is encouraged by Sunday, October 29.
