Kerbside
use
Business
impacts
Summary
S3: Pitt Street (one option)
Traffic
efficiency
The provided solution would result in no kerbside allocation changes.
The reconfiguration of the intersection would not affect any loading zones,
whilst it would benefit business traffic that uses the intersecting roads
There would be some disruption during construction however this would
be limited due to the nature and scale of the proposed work in this
location.
The option identified for this pinch point would achieve the proposal
objectives as it would support the growing demand for access on this
priority corridor for east-west traffic and improve road network functionality
for this traffic in future years. This option also performed well against the
evaluation criteria and provided the required outcome through one
proposed option.
The option would benefit road users by introducing traffic efficiencies,
reducing congestion and improving traffic flows by transferring
southbound traffic more efficiently from Pitt Street into Goulburn Street.
Amenity
Kerbside
use
This improvement would relieve the demand on the intersection during
peak periods
The option would improve the road user experience for southbound traffic
by setting priorities at the intersection. This would remove the existing
turning movement conflicts at the intersection.
The offered solution would result in the modification and loss of kerbside
uses around the intersection.
This is due to the limited space available at the intersection and there
being no reasonable option to maintain kerbside parking and loading in
favour of introducing the required additional improvements.
Business
impacts
By providing this solution this would benefit road users across the city
whilst resulting in localised parking and loading impacts.
The proposal would benefit business traffic that uses the intersecting
roads.
The proposal would time-restrict several loading zones around the
intersection to maintain a balance between introducing benefits across
the road network and minimising business impacts.
There would be some disruption during construction however this would
be limited due to the nature and scale of the proposed work in this
location.
Summary The option identified for this pinch point would achieve the proposal
objectives as it would improve through and turning movements at this
critical intersection. The option was limited to the proposed solution given
the restricted space at the intersection and therefore the one option was
promoted.
S4: Ultimo Road (one option)
Traffic
efficiency
The option would introduce traffic efficiencies, reduce congestion and
improve traffic flows for this priority corridor for traffic wanting to exit the
city centre, especially westbound to southbound traffic through the Harris
Street intersection.
This improvement would prioritise demand on the intersection during peak
periods due to its promotion as a key access route out of the city centre.
