Canberra’s light rail design study Capital Metro consultation period for community input ends in just three days.

The Light Rail Integration Study aims to look at issues around the integration of the light rail corridor from Gungahlin to the City, explained Minister for the Environment and Sustainable Development, Simon Corbell.

"The Light Rail Integration Study is an essential piece of work that will inform the detailed design of the Capital Metro Project," said Corbell.

"It is part of the suite of preliminary design studies that are now being undertaken as a priority for the new Capital Metro Agency."

The first stage of the study was evaluating options for integrating the light rail with the ACTION bus network and current pedestrian and bicycle paths, the different potential kiss and ride, park and ride, and bike and ride locations, and the preferred light rail stop locations.

"The Capital Metro Agency wants to understand what the community thinks about a range of issues, including potential locations for light rail stops, the amenities people would like to see at the stops, and whether people would prefer to park their bicycle at the stops or take them with them on the light rail vehicle," he said.

Consultation closes on November 15.
