There is anticipated to be 23 locations where the footpath capacity would be
restricted or reduced due to the need to install the more major traffic capacity
improvements during construction. These controls may be in place for the mediumto-long-term
(ie over one month). The construction program and staging would
confirm whether the footpath restrictions/reductions would remain in place
permanently or whether they could be relaxed during peak periods. Also, there may
be short-term temporary restrictions put in place that would affect access along the
King Street, Kent Street and College Street cycleways. As a result of the above
restrictions the following impacts would occur:
Footpath restrictions would reduce capacity and accessibility for pedestrian
movements in the city centre, which could increase footpath congestion during
construction, noting that not all work sites would be under construction at the
same time (refer to section 6.14)
