The Eastern Rail Trail will provide a bicycle path shared between cyclists and pedestrians (but not motor vehicles), that will provide excellent opportunities for cyclists to travel through the City of Boroondara to connect with the Main Yarra Trail and the bicycle route along Bridge Road.
Users of this trail could include:
- Cyclists commuting to and from the City of Melbourne during weekdays
- Recreational cycling on weekends and during evenings – including visits to the growing local café and shopping areas such as the Glenferrie Road, Camberwell Junction, Maling Road and Union Road strips. This has significant potential to boost local tourism by connecting with Melbourne’s existing heavily used bicycle paths along the Yarra River.
- Shorter daytime bicycle and pedestrian trips by residents to local shopping areas along the trail including Glenferrie, Auburn, Canterbury/Mailing Road, Surrey Hills, and Hawthorn. The path should accomodate both pedestrians and cyclists.
- Students attending local schools such as Camberwell High School, Strathcona, Fintona, Carey and several primary schools.

Hi Peter
The Whitehorse Cyclists club is pushing for the Box Hill to Ringwood part of the ERT to be done and we have a web site to document and promote it at www.bhrrt.org
Be glad if you can have a look at it and add your support, comments.
