Works are set to begin this year to install a separated bikeway along Sylvan Road in Toowong, one of Queensland's most dangerous cycling stretches.
Sylvan Road is a key missing link between the Bicentennial and Western Freeway bikeways.
The busy 1.2-kilometre road currently records over 1,100 cycling and e-scooter trips on weekdays.
Brisbane City Council has agreed to build separated bike lanes along the road and review changes to key intersections, including the Milton Road and Jephson Street intersections.
The council will also review the on-street parking arrangements along Sylvan Road.
In a public consultation conducted in mid-2025, 93% of respondents said adding a separated cycleway on Sylvan Road would have a positive or very positive effect on their travel.
Respondents also called for slower traffic speeds, more crossing options and wider footpaths.
Concept designs will be released this year, with early work to begin from mid-year. The project is due to be finished in 2028.
It will be jointly funded by the federal government, state government and local council.
Bicycle Queensland CEO Professor Matt Burke said: "The good news is the community is extremely positive about putting protected bike lanes down Sylvan Road.
"The number one thing people want is 'separated facilities'. This is no surprise to the cycling community of course: real safety improvements should have happened here decades ago.
"Bicycle Queensland has been campaigning for this link for more than two decades.
"Let's just get it done."
