AECOMWembley Sports Park Integrated Access, Traffic and Car Parking Plan456.2 Event People Movement Management PlansA set of traffic and people movement plans were developed to manage the use of facilities and the movement ofpeople. These plans are show in Appendix C. Plans were developed for the typical events on:1) Monday, Thursday and Friday;2) Tuesday and Wednesday;3) Saturday and Sunday (summer);4) Saturday (winter); and5) Sunday (winter).The plans show the flow of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists and the use of car parks. They also show thesuggested interventions such as road closures, traffic management of pedestrian crossings and real timeinformation signs. These plans are to be:- presented to the various users of the site;- refined if required; and- to be agreed upon with the users to control their activities and impacts.It is noted that these plans are suggestions only, and it should be recognised that the Town of Cambridge wouldhave more in depth understanding of the situation and can plan events accordingly.T:\60218676 - Wembley PK TA\8 Issued Docs\8.1 Reports\Comprehensive Integrated Access RevF.docxRevision F - 8 February 2012
AECOMWembley Sports Park Integrated Access, Traffic and Car Parking Plan467.0 Conclusion and RecommendationsThis transport study generally supports the approved Wembley Sports Park Development Master Plan. While thestudy identified that traffic and parking demand may exceed capacity during the peak Winter Saturday events,these events are anticipated to be relatively short and their impacts are considered to be acceptable. For the vastmajority of its operations, the Master Plan provides ample capacity. It is therefore considered to be unreasonableand unsustainable to provide more car parking capacity than currently planned. Rather than providing for allparking demands at all times, it is recognised that alternative measures are required to manage the short demandpeaks on Winter Saturdays.Subject to the recommendations outlined below, it is expected that the following traffic solutions will provideadequate access, car parking and traffic management facilities for the assumed operations of the WembleySports Park:- The following access points should be provided: one on Salvado Road (Northern Access), one on SelbyStreet opposite Alderbury Street (Main Access) and the existing left-in / left-out accesses on Selby Street;- The Northern Access should be an un-signalised three way intersection with a short left turn lane at the endof the North-South Road;- The Main Access at Selby Street / Alderbury Street is proposed to be a four way signalised intersection witha 120m right turn pocket on the southern approach and a 35m left turn pocket on the northern approach.Pedestrian and cycle crossing facilities are to be provided at this crossing. It is recognised that support fromMain Roads will need to be sought for a traffic signal;- The entire East-West and North-South Links are to be provided in Stage 1 to ensure effective internalcirculation during the peak Winter Saturday events. This internal road is to be connected via a roundaboutwhich will give access to car parks and accommodate u-turns;- The North-South Road may require speed humps for traffic calming;- Two raised pedestrian crossings are to be provided on the East-West Link on either side of the drop-offfacilities. A barrier is required on the median between the two crossings to prevent pedestrians fromcrossing in the drop-off zone;- A new junction should be provided on the East-West Link into the south western car park. For safetyreasons the right turn movement into the car park should be banned. The kerb line design should indicatethis restriction to drivers. The design should include appropriate pavement markings and signs forregulatory and enforcement purposes;- One easy access bay (within reasonable distance) should be provided for every 50 regular car parkingspaces;- To reduce the parking demand during the peak Winter Saturday events, Green Travel initiatives should beimplemented for the site, including a development of a TravelSmart plan for the PNA and other users of thesite;- Review of the PNA game schedule in consultation with a traffic engineer to spread out the arrival anddeparture traffic or alternatively competitions could be considered spread out on Saturday and Sunday;- The traffic and people movement plans in this report are to be presented to the various users, they are to berefined if required, and they are to be agreed upon with the users of the facilities to control their operations;- Proposed end of trip facilities (including secure cycle parking and lockers) should be provided in the StateNetball Centre and PNA buildings; and- The geometric design of all accesses to the site should include safe and efficient connections to the cycleand pedestrian paths.T:\60218676 - Wembley PK TA\8 Issued Docs\8.1 Reports\Comprehensive Integrated Access RevF.docxRevision F - 8 February 2012
