The above restrictions may have a cumulative effect on pedestrians and cyclists leading to the following temporary
impacts:
Footpath congestion and reduced pedestrian capacity along the above roads
Longer term footpath closures requiring pedestrians to divert to alternative routes, which may lead to longer travel
delays and increased walking distances
Longer term or more extensive pedestrian crossing restrictions that may reduce amenity and accessibility, and
potentially require diversions
Longer-term cycleway restrictions that may redirect greater and prolonged use of general traffic lanes, bus lanes or
footpaths by cyclists.
The cumulative impact would depend on the timing and staging overlap between the above projects and this proposal.
Safeguards and management measures to avoid and/or minimise the proposal’s impacts on pedestrians and cyclists are
provided in Section 6.1.4. The construction staging and program would also be developed cognisant of the controls
introduced under the above projects, with specific areas of conflict identified in the construction traffic management plan
(refer to section 6.1.4). Conflict would be managed by:
Scheduling work to avoid cumulative interactions with other projects
Implementing traffic management controls to respect critical timing requirements of these other projects
