Sydney City Council has proper Cycling Maps for their community to and they are easy to read.
Click here for details . Their maps are also available in hard copy and show separated dedicated cycleways, dedicated cycling lanes and Bicycle friendly roads.
Also they seem to have an inviting logo as well, which is modern, easy to the eyes and colourful. So, we need to refer to Blacktown City Council to review the map they have, which is a bit complicated and hard to understand, especially when all cycle ways do not join/link up, especially where there is lack of cycle ways, Mount Druitt being one of them.
If you check the Blacktown City Council Bike Plan 2016 Click here there is slight deficiencies with no proposed and accepted Mount Druitt Hospital t o Hythe Street, as confirmed in previous Blacktown City Council Public Transport Forums.
Now, I would like Council, to see if they can match Sydney City Council with their map: both soft version and hard copy. Let us see if they can organise something it the mean tine
The internet is proven time and time again how up to date the information for the community is important, especially when you know how to simply search it.

Maybe Blacktown City Council should refer to Google Maps and see what their cycle plains are compared to them!
This is how you research it:
- Google
- Type in 'Mount Druitt'
- Click on Maps & Enter
- Place your Point on the 'Mount Druitt' Rectangle (top left hand corner)
- A drop down box appears
- Click on the word 'bicycling' and (in French) I say, 'Voila'!
You will then notice indexes identifying color coded bicycle friendly-roads and dirt/unpaved roads. Not much and patchy areas within Mount Druitt and it seems none of them paths/road legally from Mount Druitt to Blacktown. Maybe if they interconnected and there were more shared special lane for cyclists on main roads and more shared pathways with plenty of notices, informing all the community. Here it is. Try it yourself:
Compare it to Blacktown Bike Plan 2013
