Executive Summary

Mott MacDonald has been engaged by the Town of Walkerville to develop a Movement Management Plan (MMP) which is a component of Council’s overarching Movement Action Plan (MAP).

Council is developing a MAP to address specific movement related issues within the Township, identified within previous consultation and relevant documentation.

This MMP focuses on providing ‘treatment options’ for traffic and transport improvements within the Council area (thereby forming a basis for the Council MAP).

Treatment options have been developed as concepts only (based on stakeholder consultation and the MAP Document Review) and are subject to future required next steps such as community / stakeholder consultation, detailed design and engineering surveys. Treatment options developed have been based upon design principles within the Streets for People Compendium where applicable.

Associated costing has been developed for the treatment option concept designs to assist Council in allocating a future capital works budget and developing priority.

Treatment options address movement within the Town Centre and are primarily focused on improving safety and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists. Likewise within the suburbs of Medindie and Gilberton, treatments associated with pedestrian safety are proposed.

The following key treatment options have been recommended:  Pedestrian walkthrough crossings on Hawkers Road, Walkerville Terrace, Church Street and Smith Street  A wombat crossing, 40km/h speed limit and contrasting pavement entry statements on Walkerville terrace (between Stephens Terrace and Smith Street)  Additional exclusive bicycle lanes on Walkerville Terrace and Smith Street  A new footpath on Warwick Street, alongside the Walkerville Oval

 Amendment to linemarking and landscaping on Walkerville Terrace and Smith Street to improve delineation and provide an additional designated car parking space for persons with a disability in front of the Walkerville Shopping Centre  Reconfiguration of the IGA car park  Additional car parking on Smith Street adjacent the Walkerville Oval  Removal of the left turn slip lane from North East Road into Smith Street  Improved connections to the River Torrens Linear Path, including a new connection between Victoria Terrace and the Linear Path at Fuller Street, upgraded stairs at Cluny Avenue, Burlington Street and the Caravan Park, formalisation of a shared path on Victoria Terrace and improved wayfinding.

Strategic transport recommendations have also been included within the MMP to provide guidance on future transport and traffic management. A high level strategic review of car parking has also been undertaken (by Council and Mott MacDonald) which provides a basis for potential future car parking policy.

It is recommended that further data is collected (e.g. pedestrian / car parking occupancy surveys) to further inform Council’s MAP and the detailed design of concept options.

1 Introduction

Mott MacDonald has been engaged by the Town of Walkerville to develop a Movement Management Plan (MMP) which is a component of Council’s overarching Movement Action Plan (MAP) for the Council area in Adelaide, South Australia.

1.1 Study Objective

The overarching objective of this project is to develop ‘actions’ which respond to Council’s existing Strategic Framework (defined in Section 1.1.1 below).

The purpose of this report is to address the following study objectives:  Review the existing transport conditions within the Town of Walkerville from a strategic perspective and at a localised level for identified ‘hot spots’ assessing all transit modes, including private vehicles, car parking and sustainable transport (pedestrians, cyclists and public transport)  Develop concept treatment options (actions) for identified ‘hot spots’  Develop overarching transport strategies to provide clear direction on future transport and movement  Establish costing estimates for concept designs as a means for prioritising future project works under Council’s Capital Works Plan (developed by Aquenta Quantity Survey Consultants in conjunction with Mott MacDonald)  Identify sources of funding which can assist in transport or traffic improvements within the Council area.

This MMP covers a 0-10 year timeframe for treatment options and implementation of concepts.

1.1.1 Project Strategic Framework

The framework for this MMP is defined in Councils overarching MAP (Section 4.5). The MAP identifies the framework as key outcomes as follows: 1. Provide stronger connections between the Township and the Linear Park; 2. Calm Walkerville Terrace and allow the shopping strip between Stephen Terrace and Smith Street to realise its potential as a shared space for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists as a ‘main street’; 3. Provide for inviting and legible gateways at the edges and within the Township for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists alike; 4. Provide infrastructure that provides a diverse choice of transport options for the residents of the Township; 5. Strengthen and improve amenities for pedestrians and cyclists in designated areas, particularly along major transit corridors where off-road shared-use paths, on-road bicycle lanes, footpaths and cycling friendly streets should prevail so as to promote walking and cycling; and 6. Reduce the need for people to drive their own private car within the Township, particularly within the Town Centre.

1.2 Report Structure

This report is structured as follows:  A brief review of existing relevant documents which provides an analysis of key reference material relevant to the study and project objectives  An existing conditions assessment of the transport network

2 The Context of the Town of Walkerville

2.1 Study Area

The Town of Walkerville Council area is located immediately north east of the Adelaide Central Business District (CBD). The council area is bordered by Nottage Terrace/North East Road to the north, Fife Street to the east, the River Torrens to the south and Park Terrace/Robe Terrace/Main North Road to the West. The suburbs of Medindie, Gilberton, Walkerville and Vale Park are located within these extents.

Figure 2.1 below identifies the Town of Walkerville study area (defined in red), while Figure 2.2 outlines the four separate ‘sectors’ defined by arterial roads.

3 Existing Conditions Assessment

This section details existing conditions of the transport network only, and is to be read in conjunction with Council’s MAP document review (Section 4 of the MAP).

3.1 Road Network

The bordering roads of Northcote Terrace, Park Road and North East Road are owned and operated by DPTI. Stephens Terrace and Ascot Avenue which dissect the town are also under the care and control of DPTI.

Operation of DPTI owned and operated roads bordering or within the Town of Walkerville are defined in A Functional Hierarchy for South Australia’s Land Transport Network (background document number 4). This document provides the strategic future function of DPTI roads.

It is noted that Stephens Terrace has been identified as a peak hour route within the above referenced document with Ascot Avenue part of the National Highway network given its connection to Portrush Road and subsequently the South Eastern Freeway.

Strategically, Smith Street forms an important connection between North East Road and Walkerville Terrace which are both under the jurisdiction of Council.

Various local roads connect to North East Road with all movements permitted at the Fuller Street, St. Andrews Street, Doreen Street, Ilford Street and Fife Street intersections.

Left out only into North East Road is permitted at Lansdowne Terrace and Burlington Street to minimise through traffic. Provision for left in cyclist access from North East Road at these intersections is provided.

Left in/left out only into North East Road is permitted at Milne Street.

3.1.1 Traffic Volumes and Speed Data

Traffic volumes for arterial roads have been obtained from DPTI Transport Services mapping and DPTI intersection turn counts. Refer to Appendix A for a summary of this data.

Historic traffic data for Walkerville Terrace has also been obtained from DPTI. The analysis of this data (refer Appendix A) shows a marginal increase in traffic volumes along Walkerville Terrace between 1996 and 2013, with traffic volumes on Walkerville Terrace decreasing since the 2004 count.

The following local road traffic volumes have been obtained from site specific (7 day) tube counts:  Hawker Terrace (south of Briar Avenue)  Walkerville Terrace (south west of Warwick Street)

Summary sheets of this traffic volume data are provided within Appendix A.

Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

3.2 Pedestrian and Cycling Network

The Town of Walkerville pedestrian and cyclist network is characterised by the following:  High pedestrian activity along Walkerville Terrace, particularly associated with the Town Centre precinct  High pedestrian demand crossing Walkerville Terrace near the roundabout with Smith Street to access the Walkerville Shopping Centre and the IGA  Proximity of the River Torrens Linear Path  Poor connectivity between the Linear Path and the Town Centre, primarily due to topography constraints  Poor or no wayfinding in many locations.

Various connections are provided from the Town of Walkerville road network to the Linear Path as detailed in Table 3.1.

It is noted that end of trip bicycle parking facilities (bicycle racks) are provided at the Walkerville Terrace Shopping Centre.

Aside from the main pedestrian actuated crossings (PAC) located on the bordering arterial road intersections, a PAC’s are located at the intersection of Ascot Avenue and Harris Road, on Ascot Avenue associated with the Vale Park Primary School and on Stephens Terrace, directly adjacent the Walkerville Primary School.

A Koala crossing is located on Hawkers Road associated with the Wilderness School.

Following streetscape upgrades on Walkerville Terrace (party associated with the development of the Walkerville Terrace Shopping Centre) between Stephens Terrace and Smith Street, bicycle treatments are provided as advisory only within the car parking lane.

Bicycle lanes are provided along the extent of Walkerville Terrace between the Robe Terrace/Mann Road/Park Road/Northcote Terrace and Stephens Terrace intersections. No changes to existing bicycle arrangements are proposed to these sections of Walkerville Terrace as part of the MMP.

Bicycle lanes are also provided on one side of Smith Street (south west kerb) and on one side of Walkerville Terrace (between Smith Street and Fuller Street, south east kerb).

A Bike Direct map showing the existing cycling network within and surrounding the Town of Walkerville is provided in Appendix A.

3.3 Public Transport Network

The 281 bus service is the primary public transport route providing access from the CBD along Walkerville Terrace, Vale Street, Harris Road, Wilpena Avenue and ultimately connecting to Paradise Interchange.

The 204 and 208 also provide access between the Adelaide CBD, Broadview, Greenacres, Northgate, Northfield, Windsor Gardens and Paradise Interchange via Walkerville Terrace and Smith Street. Additionally the W90 bus services provide access to Northgate and Paradise Interchange respectively via Ascot Avenue and Vale Park.

Bus services along Walkerville Terrace are provided at 30 minute intervals, while bus services on Smith Street operate a ‘Go Zone’s’ (15 minute intervals).

10 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx

Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

The 271 and 273 bus services operate as ‘Go Zones’ on North East Road and provide a connection from the CBD to Paradise Interchange and Tee Tree Plaza Interchange respectively. Numerous bus services which also operate as ‘Go Zones’ are available along Main North Road (209, 222, 224, 225, 226,228 and 229) which services the Medindie Sector, connecting the Adelaide CBD and northern suburbs.

Given that DPTI currently work on a 500m public transport catchment (as advised during consultation for this project, refer to Appendix B), access to public transport services within the study area is considered sufficient.

It is noted that the Public Transport Services Department of DPTI has advised that some bus stops within the Town of Walkerville are non-compliant with current standards. However, all bus zones do have kerbside loading areas and the provision of tactile surface indicators.

Bus shelters are not available in all locations (however, may not be appropriate in some areas due to footpath constraints, e.g. insufficient room). It is noted than an assessment of existing bus zones indicates that there is sufficient provision for articulated buses, and while some driveways are temporarily blocked by an articulated bus stopping, this is considered acceptable for short occupancy.

DPTI has advised that that there will be no major changes to the existing bus network (routes) in the area, although there may be an increase in frequency over time (e.g. buss services 204 and 208) – subject to future passenger boarding (refer to Appendix B).

Further, DPTI has also advised that there is no scope for an additional O-Bahn bus stop in close proximity to Walkerville due to the impacts it would have on existing services, predicted low patronage and the costs (approximately $10M - $15M) for an additional interchange (as advised during consultation for this project, refer to Appendix B).

3.3.1 Crash History

Crash history has been obtained from DPTI for the five year period between 2008 and 2013 and is summarised below. Table 3.2 indicates a higher number of crashes occurred at the Robe Terrace/Park Terrace/Walkerville Terrace intersection (including one fatality) compared to other intersections in the vicinity.

It is noted that there are only two pedestrians involved in crashes recorded between 2008 and 2013 which occurred at the signalised intersection of Smith Street and North East Road. There are 42 injuries recorded due to vehicle collisions and were involved with drivers or passengers of the vehicles. The most common apparent error for the crashes is driver’s inattention or behaviour. For the traffic volumes utilising the routes, this crash history is not considered significant.

5 Study Considerations

5.1 Previously Developed Council Strategies

The existing strategic framework (refer Section 1.1.1) has been identified as a result of Council’s MAP Document Review (Section 4). Transport and traffic management options/strategies within this MMP have been developed to align with these documents, which include:

Strategic Directions Report for the Town of Walkerville, 2012

The Strategic Directions Report provides a strategic basis for future planning strategies, policies and targets focusing on population growth, transit corridors, mixed use development, urban design, community and social inclusion and open space.

Within this strategic document, the following was identified pertaining to a movement strategy (potentially leading to future DPA’s):

The primary objective for the project is to:  Provide guidelines for the management and design of vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist networks throughout the Council area.

The secondary objectives are to:  Ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists at risk due to high traffic volumes and speeds, combined with a lack of intermediate crossing points and a lack of consistent cycle lanes  Reduce congestion at key ‘hot-spots’ throughout the Town, particularly where there are schools and hence large numbers of children walking on footpaths and crossing roads  Improving connections between road networks and open space for cyclists and pedestrians  Improving connections between the entire Council area and the Town Centre  Promote small scale projects that support safer, greener and more active travel choices  Overcome the segmentation of the Township resulting from the location of arterial roads and encourage local residents to use Walkerville as their hometown  Promote initiatives that encourage traffic calming and speed reduction  Promote a new focus for Council in respect of infrastructure planning as it relates to road safety, getting people cycling, walking or catching public transport, replacing car journeys with technology, doing things locally, or using the car smarter.

Town of Walkerville Urban Master Plan Framework, 2008

The Town of Walkerville Urban Master Plan Framework provided a basis for future development within the Township, particularly focused on improvements associated with the urban realm, connectivity (particularly pedestrians and cyclists), public spaces, urban design and future development opportunities. It is understood that the Urban Master Plan Framework along with previous community and stakeholder consultation has informed Council’s 2012 Strategic Directions Report and subsequently the MAP.

5.2 Development Considerations

Major recent development considerations within the region include:  Watson Apartments  Walkerville Terrace Shopping Centre  Channel 7 site development.

These developments have been assessed from a traffic and movement perspective, with conclusions identifying that traffic generated by these developments will not adversely impact the existing capacity and operation of the road network.

5.2.1 SA Government Integrated Transport and Land Use Plan

The Draft Integrated Transport and Land Use Plan released by the state government in October 2013 details transport actions, investments and initiatives to support future transport networks in South Australia. Of relevance to the Town of Walkerville is Section 5.8 of the Plan regarding Central and Inner Adelaide, particularly Figure 5-6 Central and Adelaide Inner Adelaide Solutions on Page 118 (refer to Figure 5.1).

The figure details planned improvements associated with road/intersection and active travel improvements within the Central and Inner Adelaide region, including the following considerations within the Town of Walkerville:  Road intersection improvements at: – Main North Road/Park Terrace intersection – Robe Terrace/Mann Road/Park Road/Walkerville Terrace/Northcote Terrace intersection – Main North Road/Nottage Terrace intersection – Nottage Terrace /North East Road intersection – North East Road/Ascot Avenue intersection – Park Road/Melbourne Street intersection  Road improvements associated with: – Main North Road between Robe Terrace and Nottage Terrace – Nottage Terrace – North East Road between Smith Street and Hampstead Road  Active travel improvements associated with upgrades of the Levels-City bikeway from Regency Road to the City (which includes connections on Smith Street and Walkerville Terrace).

It is recommended that the Town of Walkerville Council consult with the state government pertaining to the extent of these planned upgrades and the associated potential for joint funding and advocate strongly to ensure planned projects proceed.

DPTI Inner Metro Rim Structure Plan, 2012

The Inner Metro Rim Structure Plan builds upon the targets set in the 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide focusing on the inner metropolitan rim of the City of Adelaide. The Inner Rim includes the Parklands and the inner areas surrounding (or around) the City of Adelaide.

As stipulated within the Plan, the purpose of the Structure Planning is as follows:  ‘Assist in achieving the population, dwelling and employment targets set out in The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide  Identify, and facilitate the resolution of, strategic infrastructure issues  Encourage the design and development of a new sustainable and liveable urban form across Greater Adelaide  Facilitate the rezoning of land for residential and employment purposes.’

The Structure Plan provides design principles for the envisioned population density, movement and economic objectives of the study area.

The study area of the Plan includes an area roughly 1km from the CBD’s outer edge affecting Council areas including:  The City of Prospect  The Corporation of the Town of Walkerville  The City of Norwood Payneham & St. Peters  The City of Burnside  The City of Unley  The City of West Torrens  The City of Charles Sturt.

Of relevance to the Town of Walkerville (and within the scope of this Plan) is Sector Pan 02_Medindie – St Peters (refer to Figure 5.2).

Of specific relevance to this MMP are the objectives pertaining to the River Torrens Linear Path and Walkerville Terrace between Steepens Terrace and Smith Street (e.g. Walkerville Centre).

The following actions are proposed within the Structure Plan:

River Torrens Linear Park  ‘Reinforce the river corridor as an important greenway, providing efficient pedestrian and cyclist movement, improved recreation and increased biodiversity linking to the city  Create strong links with surrounding residential streets and achieve improve frontage to the river corridor including new focal points aligned with the surrounding streets, and connection with Stephen Terrace and St Peters primary local network’.

Walkerville Centre  ‘Create a low speed pedestrian high street between Stephens Terrace and Smith Street with a quality public realm / streetscape and with links to the Walkerville Recreation Ground and the River Torrens Linear Park  Encourage mixed-use infill development of shopfronts with residential accommodation above (3-5 storeys)  Strengthen the streetscape and built form to mark the Stephen Terrace intersection  Promote reduced building setbacks and parking provision at the rear for new infill development’.

It is noted that the Inner Metropolitan Rim Structure Plan is detailed within Council’s MAP document review (Section 4) in greater detail. However, relevant sections of the plan have been covered within this MMP given that they are specifically relevant to the treatment options within Section 8.

6 Sector 1 - Medindie

Sector 1 is the suburb of Medindie which is boarded by the arterial roads of Nottage Terrace, Northcote Terrace, Robe Terrace and Main North Road.

The primary issue identified to date within this sector is associated with school pick-up and drop-off at Wilderness School. Wilderness School attracts external traffic which is generated outside of the Council area due to its large catchment area; this is exacerbated by School pick-up drop-off times which have been identified as difficult to manage on Hawkers Road. A separate section relating to Wilderness School is provided under Section 12.5.

Priority treatment options focus on addressing the MAP project framework (refer to Section 1.1.1) and are subject to the required next steps of this MMP identified within Section 15.

Opportunities and constraints of each treatment option are provided within Table 6.1.

Refer to Appendix D for Sector 1 concept design (treatment options).

6.1 Treatment Options

Pedestrian walkthrough crossings on Hawkers Road

To improve pedestrian safety, it is recommended that pedestrian crossings incorporating a median walkthrough and kerb extension are installed on Hawkers Road at the intersections of Briar Avenue and Herbert Street. Kerb ramps are to be provided at the kerb extension.

While these crossings do not legally require vehicles to give-way to pedestrian (as is the case at the Koala Crossing on Hawkers Road), they do promote a lower vehicle speed environment by narrowing the roadway, and provide a designated area for pedestrians to store safely mid-block while crossing the road. Mid-block walkthrough crossings are proposed at a minimum of 1.2m x 1.2m with kerb extensions and 2.4m ramps.

The Hawkers Road northbound traffic lane width at the walkthroughs north of Briar Avenue (3.7m) and Herbert Street (3.9m) has been designed to accommodate the turn of an 8.8m medium rigid vehicle into Hawkers Road (e.g. a waste collection vehicle). Consideration of waste collection vehicle manoeuvring will be required at the detailed design stage factoring the intention to narrow traffic lanes at the pedestrian crossings to calm traffic.

This recommendation is consistent with Section 10.2 of the MFY Wilderness School Traffic and Parking Draft Report, 05 July 2013 which provides pedestrian data as a basis for providing pedestrian walkthrough crossings on Hawkers Road.

7 Sector 2 - Gilberton

Sector 2 is the suburb of Gilberton which is bordered by Northcote Terrace, Stephens Terrace, Park Road and the Torrens River.

Investigations to date have identified pedestrian access and safety on Walkerville Terrace as a key consideration for this Sector.

Priority treatment options focus on addressing the MAP project framework (refer to Section 1.1.1) and are subject to the required next steps of this MMP identified within Section 15.

Opportunities and constraints of each treatment option are provided within Table 7.1.

Refer to Appendix D for sector 2 concept design (treatment options).

7.1 Treatment Options

Pedestrian walkthrough crossings on Walkerville Terrace

To improve pedestrian safety, it is recommended that pedestrian crossings incorporating a median walkthrough and kerb extension are installed (design parameters consistent with the recommendations in Section 6.1). 2.4m kerb ramps are to be provided at the kerb extension.

Four crossing points are proposed on Walkerville Terrace between Stephens Terrace and Northcote Terrace. It is recommended that the Town of Walkerville undertake pedestrian surveys at these locations to determine pedestrian desire lines and define the final proposed location.

It is noted that the existing 3.3m traffic lane width on Walkerville Terrace will be maintained given it is an existing bus route.

8 Sector 3 – Town of Walkerville and Vale Park

Sector 3 is bordered by North East Road, Stephens Terrace, Ascot Avenue and the Torrens River. Sector 3 is the largest sector and incorporates the suburb of Walkerville and the Town Centre, along with a small section of Vale Park.

Through the Council, DPTI and stakeholder consultation, this sector has been identified as a priority with a majority of issues identified to date relevant to Walkerville Terrace or immediate surrounds.

Priority treatment options focus on addressing the MAP project framework (refer to Section 1.1.1) and are subject to the required next steps of this MMP identified within Section 15.

Opportunities and constraints of each treatment option are provided within Table 8.1.

Refer to Appendix D for Sector 3 concept design (treatment options).

8.1 Treatment Options

Treatment Options have not been listed in any priority order at the Draft MMP stage. It is anticipated priority will be developed by Council following the 2014 public exhibition session.

8.1.1 Walkerville Terrace / Town Centre

Walkerville Terrace wombat crossing and footpath widening

To improve pedestrian safety, connectivity and access, a wombat crossing on Walkerville Terrace (immediately adjacent the Walkerville Shopping Centre entry) is recommended. To accommodate the proposed wombat crossing, some reconfiguration of on-street car parking on Walkerville Terrace will be required.

The following is noted in relation to the proposed Wombat Crossing:  The wombat crossing is located in close proximity to the roundabout which is not ideal from a vehicle perspective. It is likely there will be some queuing within the roundabout when vehicles are required to give-way to pedestrians  The Town of Walkerville are required to consult with DPTI (given this section of Walkerville Terrace is a bus route) and emergency services before installation of the wombat crossing.

Relevant signs are to be provided at the wombat crossing in accordance with relevant standards, including advance warning signs. Refer to the DPTI Manual of Legal Responsibilities and Technical Requirements for Traffic Control Devices, DPTI, 2012 for further information pertaining to installation requirements of a wombat crossing.

25 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

The proposed location of the wombat crossing has been modified following community and Council consultation with the previous location proposed immediately adjacent Alfred Street (refer to Section 14.2) to cater for the current (and future) key pedestrian desire line between the Walkerville Oval, Alfred Street, the Walkerville Terrace Shopping Centre and the Linear Path. The primary basis for the relocation is associated with no modifications to the Walkerville Shopping Centre car park.

Site surveys undertaken by Mott MacDonald had previously identified an issue with the Walkerville Shopping Centre (IGA) car park and the associated ingress/egress point with Walkerville Terrace. Given the high pedestrian movement within the area, and the location of the pedestrian kerb ramp associated with the roundabout splitter island, potential exists for vehicle/pedestrian conflict if vehicles are exiting the car park into Walkerville Terrace (refer to Figure 8.1).

Figure 8.1: Pedestrian ramp adjacent Walkerville Shopping Centre (IGA) car park left out driveway

26 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

To remove the potential for conflict it was proposed to modify the car park to provide one access point from Smith Street and close the existing exit point into Walkerville Terrace. 17, 5.4m x 2.5m ninety degree car park spaces can be provided, including the provision of a space for persons with a disability (including an associated shared space), as per the requirements of Australian/New Zealand Standard 2890.1:2004 Parking Facilities Part 1 – Off-Street Car Parking and Australian/New Zealand Standard 2890.6:2009 Off- Street Car Parking for People with Disabilities. However, this is not feasible following Council consultations.

To remove the existing pedestrian safety issue and cater for the existing pedestrian desire line, the existing median / pedestrian refuge ramp on Walkerville Terrace at the roundabout is proposed to be closed. Fencing is proposed on Walkerville Terrace adjacent the shopping centre entry to encourage pedestrians to use at the wombat crossing only.

It is noted that the cost of modifications to the Walkerville Shopping Centre (IGA) car park are provided within Appendix E if Council wish to pursue modifications in the future.

Pedestrian walkthrough crossing on Walkerville Terrace

In addition to the proposed Wombat crossing on Walkerville Terrace, it is proposed to install a pedestrian crossing point (incorporating a median walkthrough and kerb extension) on Walkerville Terrace between Stephens Terrace and Smith Street (design parameters consistent with the recommendations in Section 6.1). 2.4m kerb ramps are to be provided at the kerb extension.

It is noted that this option will result in the loss of some on-street car parking.

40km/h Speed limit on Walkerville Terrace (between Stephens Terrace and Smith Street)

To further improve pedestrian and cyclist safety on Walkerville Terrace a 40km/h speed limit is proposed between Stephens Terrace and Smith Street.

A 40 km/h speed limit provides a formalised low speed environment (24/7), and will promote the Walkerville Town Centre as a pedestrian friendly area.

It is recommended that this option be incorporated with physical speed restriction measures (pedestrian wombat/ walkthrough crossings as proposed above) so that vehicles are not encouraged to drive at higher speeds.

Relevant signs are to be installed to define to a 40km/h speed area in accordance with relevant standards.

It is noted that Council will be required gain approval from DPTI before the implementation of a 40 km/h speed limit and that the scheme shall comply with the relevant DPTI Traffic Control Standard ’40 km/h

27 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

Precinct Speed Limit’ (August 1998) and Addendum (10 August 2000). This document can be accessed via http://www.dpti.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0019/40258/2002793-v1- Tass_Publications_40_kph_Precinct_Speed_Limits.PDF.

Speed data obtained from the 7 day traffic count on Walkerville Terrace indicates that 85th percentile speed between Stephens Terrace and Smith Street is 46km/h. Impact to existing vehicle travel time is therefore considered minor (e.g. assuming a 330m section, existing travel time is approximately 26 seconds compared to 30 seconds for a 40 km/h zone, i.e. an anticipated increase of 4 seconds which is considered minor.

Walkerville Terrace contrasting pavement entry statements

This treatment option includes the potential for a contrasting pavement entry statement to Walkerville Terrace at the Smith Street, Warwick Street and Stephens Terrace intersections, including the section of Walkerville Terrace in front of the newly developed Town Hall.

Aside from this section at the Town Hall, it is recommended that paving is provided 10m from the relevant intersections. 45m length of contrasting pavement is proposed on Walkerville Terrace in front of the Town Hall.

No contrasting pavement is recommended on Stephens Terrace at the intersection with Walkerville Terrace.

As an alternative to pavers, Council may wish to explore ‘street-print’ treatment (coloured printing patterns in the asphalt) which could be implemented at lower cost. Various private companies offer these services.

It is recommended that this treatment option is combined with the 40km/h speed limit on Walkerville Terrace (between Stephens Street and Smith Street) as proposed above.

Additional exclusive bicycle lanes on Walkerville Terrace (between Smith Street and Fuller Street)

To improve cyclist connectivity between Fuller Street (connecting to the Linear Path), the Town Centre and Smith Street it is proposed to provide 1.2m exclusive bicycle lanes on the Walkerville Terrace north east kerb.

No changes to the existing car parking restrictions result as part of this proposal as a 2.5m kerbside parking lane will be provided.

Given that this section of Walkerville Terrace accommodates the 281 bus services, a 3.3m traffic lane width has been retained.

28 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

No changes to the existing bicycle advisory treatments along Walkerville Terrace past Fuller Street and Lansdowne Terrace (aside from linemarking to formalise car parking – refer below) are proposed given the cross section narrows to approximately 12m and car parking associated with the residential area will remain.

Figure 8.2: Section of Walkerville Terrace where bicycle lanes are proposed (looking towards Smith Street / Walkerville Terrace intersection)

Dedicated on-street car parking space in front of Walkerville Shopping Centre for persons with a disability

To provide a parallel car parking bay for persons with disabilities, on-street, in close proximity to the Walkerville Shopping Centre, minor footpath and kerb modifications are proposed.

29 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

A kerb ramp is to be provided from the dedicated space as per the requirements stipulated in AS/NZ Standards 2890.6:2009.

Minor subsequent modifications to the existing parallel car parking spaces is therefore required to provide four standard 6.0m x 2.2m parallel car parking bays.

Some landscaping modifications is required as part of this proposal with street furniture and bicycle racks potentially relocated/installed (also due to the inclusion of the wombat crossing, refer treatment option above).

Walkerville Terrace Shopping Centre car park entrance additional signage

An issue has been identified associated with the Walkerville Terrace Shopping Centre underground car park entrance with pedestrians finding it difficult to cross the driveway access to continue along the footpath.

The potential for a pedestrian walkthrough crossing has been investigated as part of this MMP; however, it is not feasible to implement a walkthrough in this location while retaining minimum lane widths for the ingress lane and left/right out egress lanes.

Therefore, it is recommended that a give-way sign R1-2 and give-way to pedestrians R2-10 is installed at the ramp exit across the footpath.

At this stage of the project, no information is available to the previous approval of a driveway access on Walkerville Terrace.

Warwick Street footpath (western kerb) and pedestrian walkthrough crossing

Given that Warwick Street forms an important connection between the Walkerville Primary School and the Walkerville Oval, it is proposed to install a 1.5m footpath on the eastern kerb. No footpath currently exists at this section and it is understood that the school utilises the Walkerville Oval facilities. Further, the street has been identified as busy during school pick-up and drop-off times.

This should be incorporated with a pedestrian ramp in the vicinity of the Walkerville Primary School connection with Warwick Street.

This option results in the re-location of the existing fence along the Walkerville Oval and a loss of one off- street car park.

Figure 8.3 identifies the area on Warwick Street at Walkerville Oval where no footpath is available and fencing prevents use of the kerbside.

Pedestrian walkthrough crossings on Church Street

To improve pedestrian connectivity between Warwick Street (north of Church Terrace), the Walkerville Primary School and the Walkerville Oval, it is proposed to install a pedestrian crossing point (incorporating a median walkthrough and kerb extension) at the Church Street/Warwick Street intersection (design parameters consistent with the recommendations in Section 6.1). Kerb ramps are to be provided at the kerb extension.

31 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

If this option is combined with upgrades of the Warwick Street footpath (refer treatment option above), it is anticipated pedestrian connectivity near the Town Centre (particularly for students and parents associated with the Walkerville Primary School) will be significantly improved.

Additionally a pedestrian walkthrough crossing is proposed east of Smith Street at the St. Andrews School to improve safety for school children crossing Church Terrace.

Linemarking on Walkerville Terrace (between Fuller Street and Lansdowne Terrace)

To improve delineation along Walkerville Terrace it is proposed to formalise the linemarking for a 2.6m car parking areas with bicycle advisory treatments.

The existing traffic lane width of 3.3m is retained.

8.1.2 Improved Connections between the Town Centre and Linear Path

Linear Path (at Fuller Street) and Victoria Terrace shared path connection

Pedestrian and cyclist connectivity, particularly associated with the Town Centre to the River Torrens Linear Path has been identified as an issue during the early stages of this project, stemming from previous Council investigations.

There is an existing sealed connection to the Linear Path appropriate for cyclists via Fuller Street or via the bridge accessed from Victoria Terrace (via Norwood Payneham St. Peters Council area) in close proximity to the Town Centre.

Unsealed connections are formed at Victoria Terrace, adjacent the existing shopping centre. A steep access via pedestrian stairs is also provided along Cluny Avenue. Topography constraints associated with these connections are a constraint to further upgrades.

However, it is proposed to formalise a connection with the linear path at the end of Victoria Terrace. This path (refer to the images below) is well traversed by pedestrians and is visible from the Linear Path (and to some extent Victoria Terrace). Formalisation is proposed to include a 3m shared path (min 2.5m), incorporating a 1.5m high pedestrian rail (1.2m min). It is noted that some cut and fill (including a retaining wall) will be required to formalise the path width given the existing steep topography of the site.

The approximate length of the proposed connection is 114m between the Linear Path (at Fuller Street) and Victoria Terrace. While the section of Victoria Terrace is a residential area, it is noted that it is immediately adjacent the Town Centre and existing reserve space. The connection to Victoria Terrace will require an upgrade (e.g. pram ramp) to accommodate pedestrian and cyclist movement.

Shared path signage (R8-2A) will be required on the entry to the path from Smith Street to indicate it is useable for both pedestrians and cyclists.

It is noted that the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources are to be consulted if any impacts are associated with their land boundaries.

Further environmental assessment may be required to determine the impact on abutting vegetation.

Refer to the concept images in Figure 8.5, Figure 8.6 and Figure 8.7 for an indicative layout of the proposed path connection, along with the existing state of the connection in Figure 8.4.

Formalisation of stairs connecting to the Linear Path on Cluny Avenue

Due to topographic constraints, informal stairs have been provided at the existing Cluny Avenue connection with the Linear Path. Given this area has been identified during the stakeholder consultation as a key connection to improve access to the Linear Path, it is proposed to formalise the stairs to comply with the provisions stipulated in Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 6A: Pedestrian and Cyclist Paths (e.g. providing rest areas for pedestrians).

It is recommended that associated maintenance works of the Linear Path footpath is also undertaken in the section from Cluny Avenue to Stephens Terrace if the Cluny Avenue stairs are redeveloped. The existing

path in this section is overgrown with vegetation and narrow which may reflect the existing poor connection.

Figure 8.8 shows the existing stairs connecting to the Linear Path from Cluny Avenue.

It is noted that no concept has been developed for this recommendation given that no geometric site survey is available at this stage of the project.

37 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

To further enhance connectivity between Cluny Avenue and the Town Centre, provision for cyclists can be provided at the proposed redeveloped stairs consistent with the recommendations within Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 6A: Pedestrian and Cyclist Paths.

This provision relates to a bicycle wheeling ramp (where it is not possible to locate a path for cycling due to steep gradient, e.g. a bicycle treatment to be used as a last resort) alongside of the stairs and associated rest areas (refer to Figure 8.9 below for an example). Cyclist wheeling ramps accommodate cyclists where there is a significant change in level over a short period.

Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 6A: Pedestrian and Cyclist Paths (page 77) recommends the following pertaining to cyclist wheeling ramps:  ‘Wheeling ramps should be provided on both sides of stairways where significant bicycle volumes exist  CROW (1993) recommends that the gradient of ramps should not exceed about 25o  Narrow channels (75 mm to 150 mm wide) or channels that are rounded at the base should be used to improve the ease of wheeling for cyclists. A channel designed to accommodate what is on average the widest bicycle tyre (i.e. that of a mountain bike) would be ideal  The channel should be constructed approximately 0.4 m from a fence or wall, or so as to avoid the catching of pedals or handle bars  Handrails should be constructed as close as practical to the fence or wall, when erected adjacent to a wheeling ramp  Wheeling ramps should be constructed with a smooth transition onto and off of the ramp  It may be desirable to construct the ramp with a kerb (refer image below) to limit the possibility of pedestrians inadvertently stepping onto the ramp section  It would be prudent to construct the ramp so as to minimise the possibility that it may be cycled on.’

Given that this section at Cluny Avenue is a steep gradient, provision of upgraded stairs and associated wheeling ramp are subject to 3D detailed design.

Wheeling ramps can also be implemented (in conjunction with potential pedestrian stair upgrades) at key connections to the Linear Path at Burlington Street and the Caravan Park (if required), refer to Figure 8.10 and Figure 8.11 respectively.

Continuation of existing shared path along Victoria Terrace

To further improve connectivity between the Town Centre and Linear Path, it is proposed to formalise an existing unsealed section along Victoria Terrace (subject to further geotechnical investigations pertaining to feasibility of construction given the adjacent steep verge) which connects to the existing shared path along Victoria Terrace/Cluny Avenue (refer to Figure 8.12 below).

Figure 8.12: Unsealed section of Victoria Terrace (view towards Woolworths Loading Bay) – note the steep verge to the right of the image

Source: Mott MacDonald 2013

It is noted that this would include the construction of a boardwalk structure to achieve a width of 3m (min 2.5m), refer to Figure 8.13 below.

Figure 8.13: Indicative path arrangement

Source: Mott MacDonald, 2013

A further constraint associated with this proposal is the narrow Victoria Terrace cross section and the existing no standing parking arrangement will be required to be retained.

It is noted that road narrowing to accommodate additional shared path width (as opposed to the proposal above) is not feasible at this stage without further detailed design and geometric survey analysis (given that it is immediately adjacent the Walkerville Shopping Centre loading bay). Subject to the location of trees adjacent the existing footpath, additional clearances may be required to be factored at the detailed design stage in accordance with Austroads design standards.

It is noted that fencing and paving (no extension of width) is currently proposed in Council’s capital works program. It is recommended that this proceeds if design of a boardwalk structure or the narrowing of Victoria Terrace is not feasible.

Wayfinding associated with the Town Centre and the Linear Path

An issue identified to date is access from and to the Linear Path and the Town of Walkerville Town Centre. To improve legibility, wayfinding signage is proposed.

43 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

Figure 8.14 below provides an indicate wayfinding sign arrangement. Arrow arrangements are subject to change, depending on wayfinding signage location.

Figure 8.14: Proposed Town of Walkerville Wayfinding Signage

Signage locations are proposed at the following locations:  Proposed connection between the Linear Path (at Fuller Street) and Smith Street (refer to MMD- 326659-DR-C-009)  45 Park Terrace pedestrian bridge. The purpose of this sign is to direct cyclists to the areas of the Linear Path where they can connect directly to the Town Centre, e.g. via Creswell Court or the bridge leading to Victoria Drive and the Watson Apartments.

8.1.3 Smith Street

Additional exclusive bicycle lanes on Smith Street

Smith Street has a wide cross section of approximately 14.6m (kerb to kerb) and connects Walkerville Terrace with North East Road, making the road an important strategic connection.

Existing exclusive bicycle lanes are provided on the south western kerb of Smith Street only. To improve connectivity for cyclists it is proposed to provide 1.5m exclusive bicycle lanes along the extent of the Smith Street north eastern kerb.

It is noted that this proposal will not impact on the exiting parking arrangements, with a general 2.5m kerbside lane provided for car parking which provides a 400mm buffer between the bicycle lane and the car parking lane in accordance with relevant standards.

It is noted that a 3.3m traffic lane is provided as part of this proposal, which provides for existing Adelaide Metro bus services which currently use Smith Street.

As a component of this upgrade it is proposed to provide additional linemarking on Smith Street to formalise existing lane arrangements.

Additional car parking on Smith Street at Walkerville Oval

Smith Street at Walkerville Oval has been identified by Council as an area with high car parking demand associated with the Town Centre and events at Walkerville Oval (e.g. sporting events).

To increase car parking provision in the vicinity, formalisation of 90o on-street car parking utilising land available within the reserve (currently underutilised) is proposed.

This proposal incorporates the following:  1.4m buffer to start of the 90o car parking and bicycle lane on Smith Street (to cater for cyclist safety)  17, 5.0m x 2.5m car parks bays (including two dedicated spaces for persons with a disability and an associated shared space)  600mm overhang available with a 2.1m pedestrian footpath  The existing footpath and reserve fencing will be required to be reconfigured  Retention of existing vegetation (where practicable), shown indicatively on MMD-326659-DR-C-006 in Appendix D (based on Council GIS imagery only and is to be confirmed by survey at the detailed design phase).

There is no impact to the existing off-street car park at Walkerville Oval accessed from Smith Street as part of this proposal.

Removal of existing left turn slip lane on North East Road into Smith Street

To improve pedestrian safety and reduce through traffic using Smith Street (and subsequently) Walkerville Terrace, it is proposed to remove the existing left turn slip lane on North East Road into Smith Street (i.e. left turn from North East Road into Smith Street is permitted through traffic signals).

Further, it is proposed to install a ‘Welcome to the Town of Walkerville’ entry sign subject to Council requirements.

Before implementation, SIDRA intersection modelling will be required to ascertain any impacts to level of service at the intersection. At the detailed design phase, the new kerb radius shall be designed to ensure left turning movements are not undertaken at high speed and to enable the construction of a practicable pram ramp.

It is noted that Council will be required to consult with DPTI regarding this option.

DPTI traffic volumes from Wednesday 9 May 2012 indicate 1,006 vehicles turned left from North East Road into Smith Street during the 6:30am – 7:00pm count period.

Pedestrian walkthrough crossing on Smith Street

To improve the link between the existing YMCA facility and the Walkerville Oval, it is proposed to install a pedestrian crossing point (incorporating a median walkthrough and kerb extension) on Smith Street (design parameters consistent with the recommendations in Section 6.1). Kerb ramps should be provided at the kerb extension.

9 Sector 4 – Vale Park

The Vale Park sector is the small area between Landsdowne Terrace and Fife Street. The northern extent of Vale Park is bordered by North East Road with the southern section bordered by The River Torrens.

At this stage of the project some transport and traffic management issues have been identified which require further investigation (refer to Table 14.1 and Appendix B). At this stage within this sector there is insufficient data to propose any major changes to the existing road network.

It is recommended that further data is collected pertaining to any local community traffic and movement issues (e.g. community consultation) and speed/volume data (e.g. traffic counts). Council may consider LATM in the future as the need arises (refer to Section 12.3).

The primary issue relating to pedestrian safety and connectivity which has been identified in relation to Vale Park is the connection between Shergis Avenue and the River Torrens Linear Path. Similar to the connection at Cluny Avenue, there is an unsealed connection with relatively steep topography (refer to Figure 9.1 and 9.2 below).

Formalisation of these stairs to provide rest areas and cyclist wheeling ramps (similar to the options listed for Cluny Avenue above – formal pedestrian rest areas and cyclist wheeling ramps) has merits, subjects to Council priorities.

Cost is anticipated to be consistent with the proposed formalisation at Cluny Avenue ($111,400).

It is noted that no concept has been developed for this recommendation given that no geometric site survey is available at this stage of the project.

10 Movement Action Plan Actions

10.1 Movement Action Plan – Section 7

Proposed treatment options as part of the MMP have been consolidated into the Table 10.1 (to be inserted within Section 7 of Council’s MAP).

It is noted that all option concept designs have been based on Council’s GIS imagery and Council’s road dimension and detail data (2007-2012).

The ‘issues’ column shows items that were raised during stakeholder consultation (or in some instances have been observed at site or stated by Council) and are therefore considered the highest priority. The ‘related key outcomes’ column is based on the strategic framework for the study (refer Section 1.1.1) are referenced (by number as listed within Section 1.1.1) within the Table.

Actual treatment option priority is to be developed by Council during development of the MAP.

11 Principles Used Within the Streets for People Compendium

Concept design associated with treatment options are based on the principles within the Streets for People Compendium (where applicable) which provides guidelines for the management and design of vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist networks throughout South Australia.

The compendium was funded by the SA Active Coalition (members including the Heart Foundation, Department for Health and Ageing, DPTI and Urban Renewal Authority). Design principles are focused on developing pedestrian and cyclist friendly environments to create vibrant and healthy spaces/communities.

The below section provides a concise overview of the Streets for People Compendium principles applicable to this project and how the compendium has shaped contributed to the key aims and subsequently treatment options in this plan.

Refer to http://saactivelivingcoalition.com.au/wp- content/uploads/16649%20StreetforPeopleCompendium_full.pdf for the Streets for People Compendium document which provides a comprehensive overview of South Australian practice for people based street design.

11.1 Principles Applicable to the MMP

Street Design Approach

Design within the Streets for People Compendium focuses on ‘human-centred design’, e.g. observing how people use streets. The compendium recognises the use of a non-traditional human-cantered approach to assess evidence (e.g. traffic or consultation data), to understand limitations and opportunities for street design.

A key component of the above is engagement, e.g. people (stakeholders and the community) should be at ‘the centre of design considerations’.

This MMP: Engagement is a key focus of this MMP. Early stages of the project have focused on consultation with Council, DPTI and targeted Project Working Groups (based on previous issues/potential solutions raised during previous Council consultations). This consultation has assisted the development of the Draft MMP. Treatment option concept design has been consulted on at the Public Exhibition Session in April 2014 and amended accordingly.

Establishing the Strategic Role of a Street

The Streets for People Compendium has adopted the ‘Link and Place’ methodology for establishing the strategic role of a street.

The ‘Link and Place’ methodology is based on the following parameters in Figure 11.1:

58 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

Figure 11.1: Determining Link and Place status level

This MMP: Through consultation with Council, stakeholders and the community, it is recognised that Walkerville Terrace is considered the main ‘activity hub’ of the Township which will be further enhanced by residents moving into the newly developed Watson Apartments.

Given the existing and future function of Walkerville Terrace (between Stephens Terrace and Smith Street), it is recognised that it is an important shopping destination and movement corridor for both residents, and non-residents. Establishing a high level conventional ‘Link and Place’ matrix mapping methodology for Walkerville Terrace within the township area (without pedestrian data), the following is established:

Figure 11.2: Link and Place matrix (for Walkerville Terrace between Stephens Terrace and Smith Street)

NeighbourhoodD

MetropolitanA

RegionalB

DistrictC

Local E

Place

Metropolitan I Link

Regional II

District III

Neighbourhood IV

Local V

This indicates that with district demands, both vehicular and non-vehicular modes should be catered for along Walkerville Terrace (considering high level items such as land use, how people move through Walkerville Terrace (all modes) and strategic destinations in and adjacent to the precinct, e.g. movement to and from the linear path or movement associated with the Walkerville Terrace Shopping Centre).

While treatment options within the township have primarily focused on improving conditions for pedestrians and cyclists (e.g. additional crossings and a lower speed environment) it has been recognised that vehicle and bus access is important (e.g. additional car parking on Smith Street at Walkerville Oval, retention of

60 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

bus lane widths). Further, traffic and transport treatment options within the Township area are focused on achievable solutions for both Council and the community which can be implemented without significant disruptions to operation of the street.

Consider Opportunities for Shared Streets

The ‘best practice’ design approach for shared streets is provided within Chapter B3 of the Streets for People Compendium.

This MMP: Council has identified the potential for a shared street space along Alfred Street within its Development Plan and Strategic Directions Report. If Council proceeds with this option (refer Section 12.5), it is recommended that design parameters are consistent with those in Chapter B3.

Establish Conditions for Safe Speed Environments

The Streets for People Compendium provides an analysis of the benefit of slow speed environments based on a ‘general approach for South Australia’ and ‘current research and safety data on suitable speeds for different street types’. This has subsequently informed desirable speeds as shown in Figure 11.3.

Figure 11.3: Desirable street network speeds for the Link and Place Matrix

This MMP: As identified in the matrix above (Figure 11.3) and using the ‘Link and Place’ methodology identified in Figure 11.2, the desirable speed for the identified section of Walkerville Terrace is 40km/h (treatment option proposed within Section 8.1.1).

Establish Conditions for Cycling

While a ‘Link and Place’ matrix is provided within the Streets for People Compendium for cycling (refer to Figure 11.4), it is stated that provisions for cyclists should typically be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Figure 11.4: Indicative street typologies for mixing and segregating on-road cyclists with general traffic, in desirable speed environment

Source: Streets for People Compendium, Chapter B5, pp. 52

This MMP: Improvements to cyclist conditions within the study area have typically focused on improving/strengthening existing cyclist connectivity (e.g. Levels-City Bikeway and the Linear Path) in accordance with Austroads Standards, with the additional provision of exclusive bicycle lanes or shared paths.

62 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

Establish Conditions for Pedestrians

The Streets for People Compendium identifies that conventional street environments commonly offer poor pedestrian connectivity (frequent disruptions) and identifies the following areas which are appropriate for ‘high pedestrian priority environments’ based on the ‘Link and Place’ methodology (Figure 11.5).

Figure 11.5: Street types warranting high pedestrian environments

Source: Streets for People Compendium, Chapter B6, pp. 63

This MMP: Assessment of Walkerville Terrace (as per in Figure 11.2) indicates it is within the ‘high priority’ category as indicated above.

Treatment options along Walkerville Terrace are focused on improving pedestrian connectivity and safety, particularly near the Walkerville Shopping Centre by changing the priority from private vehicles, to catering for pedestrians (proposed wombat crossing). It is noted that the Streets for People Compendium states that ‘in the South Australian context, all, streets without exception, should make basic provision for pedestrians’ e.g. as a component of Council asset maintenance program.

12 Strategic Transport Recommendations

The following strategic recommendations are provided to assist in defining function and operation of the Town of Walkerville transport network.

12.1 Pedestrians and Cycling

It is recommended that the Town of Walkerville consider the following strategic pedestrian and cyclising improvements:  Consideration of outdoor dining and associated landscaping  Develop and promote the Town of Walkerville as a pedestrian and cycling friendly and dominant Town  Prepare a specific strategy for walking and cycling, e.g. detailing education programs, promotion/advocacy of walking and cycling (through Council mediums e.g. Messenger), collect data on existing bicycle users (and demographics) to understand trends and set a program for regular auditing of pedestrian and cyclist conditions within the Township  Consider the requirement for end of trip bicycle parking facilities at Walkerville Oval and in other locations, e.g. Alfred Street once upgraded  Align open space strategy with pedestrian and cycling connections as proposed in this plan  Consider high quality, smooth paving for pedestrians and cyclists  Consider pedestrian and cyclist amenity when upgrading landscaping, e.g. plant street trees/vegetation  Consider wayfinding associated with the Levels-City Bikeway once upgraded  Review provision of lighting within the Linear Path  Consider additional/new public street furniture/art or facilities in high activity pedestrian areas  Increase or advocate for increased maintenance of pathways and cycle ways, including the Linear Path.

12.2 Public Transport

The following is recommended pertaining to public transport:  Promote and implement strategies to encourage the use of public transport, including working with DPTI to progressively upgrade bus stops and services  Review and improve access to the Klemzig Bus Interchange

Bus zones have been assessed as a component of the MMP and are considered sufficient at this stage. It is noted that an articulated bus stores across some driveways on Walkerville Terrace during kerbside passenger boarding and alighting. This is not considered a significant constraint given the existing bus service timetable frequencies on Walkerville Terrace.

12.3 Traffic

The following strategic traffic management strategies are recommended:  Establish a regular traffic count regime to understand trends and provide a detailed basis to recommend future transport and traffic recommendations. Various private contractors provide traffic data collection services.

Local Area Traffic Management

It is common practice to define LATM precincts by a consideration (and combination) of a number of factors (partly or wholly), including:  Between arterial roads  Consistent/homogeneous communities, land uses and traffic characteristics  Bounded by physical features or barriers, e.g. topography, rivers/creeks, rail lines  An area that can be wholly implemented and provide optimum impact from any traffic management treatments.

A precinct based approach for LATM is desirable given the local road network provides a number of alternative routes, e.g. if one road is treated it becomes less desirable which may lead to increases in through traffic on abutting roads and adjacent areas.

Further study, analysis, consultation and road safety investigations are required to determine appropriate LATM for roads within Walkerville (subject to actual necessity). Investigations of existing/future LATM designs and treatments should include, but are not limited to:  Road safety audits and an assessment of existing road condition  Traffic volumes and distribution data (e.g. 85th percentile speed, % of traffic above recommended service level, % of through traffic compared to AADT)  Sight distance  Crash history  Access to residential properties  Car parking  Impact on pedestrians and cyclists.

12.4 DPTI Way 2 Go Program

The DPTI Way2Go program is an ongoing program that targets primary school communities across SA with the aim to encourage safer, greener, more active travel. The program is:  Built on a negotiated partnership between schools, local government and DPTI;  DPTI supports schools to collect information and create a unique school travel plan. It includes school priorities, an action plan, a monitoring process and review timelines;

65 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

 Council contribute through expertise in traffic management, approval for signage installation on some Council roads, and carrying out their works plan;  School planning guided by adapted version of the best practice principles in road safety education, to include an active and sustainable perspective;  Schools also supported to learn about and use long term behaviour change methodology to encourage desired behaviour;  Focus teachers make use of teaching resources, advice from an education consultant, Way2Go Bike Ed and may attend professional development events.

In conjunction with the School and parents, specific travel plans are created. An overview of the process as provided by DPTI is as follows:

12.5 Wilderness School

As discussed within Section 6, the main issues identified within Medindie are associated with the Wilderness School during student pick-up / drop-off times and throughout the day associated with car park management.

The issues are very complex, involving matters which are not wholly manageable in a logical, technical way and there are a lot of behavioural matters.

As part of the issues identification, Mott MacDonald has reviewed the MFY Wilderness School Traffic and Parking Report dated 5 July 2013. The following is noted:  In general, the agreed and adopted parking measures seemed successful to a great extent, although some issues still remained for further investigation (e.g. the issues which are occurring for the residents now)  MFY recommended monitoring of situation about 12 months after implementation of changed parking regulations (it would be best to do this as opposed to further changes based on qualitative assessment / opinions).

To this extent a joint management approach involving all parties is required. There is no one single infrastructure solution to solve the various issues.

A combined (and staged) management approach is recommended and to include the following (listed in priority order, e.g. behavioural solutions undertaken prior to infrastructure solutions):  Continued development of School Travel plans associated with the DPTI Way2Go program (refer to Section 12.4 above  Review of the existing car parking controls in line with MFY 12 month review recommendations to potentially optimise time periods: – Optimisation involves setting goals, objectives, principles of what is required with on-street parking in vicinity of school taking account all issues and views, including Council’s development plan and other strategies and policies; then tailoring management controls (as well as other implementing other measures/treatments) to achieve these – E.g.: level of safety (i.e. crash history), provision (number and location of spaces), time restrictions, degree/cost of enforcement, perceived political up set limit, amenity/nuisance, quantity/percentage through traffic, and cost to user (not an issue here) – Optimisation is trying to find best/reasonable/acceptable balance of safety, convenience, sufficient parking, amenity for residents and impacts or nuisance – Optimisation is one of a number of possible options which may not be warranted if further analysis, assessment and consultation shows current situation is reasonably satisfactory overall (i.e. is close to best achievable balance, least practical impacts) compared to goals listed above , or further change is not beneficial, marginal or not practicable

67 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

 Monitoring and compliance (e.g. parking inspection (in collaboration with Prospect Council if required))  Widen footpath on Hawkers Road east side (noting that this will result in a narrowing of the through traffic lanes)  A second school Koala crossing on Hawkers Road at southern end of the School.

Prior to any recommendations as to what is required above, further survey, study and consultation is required with all parties (school, parents, local residents and Council) as it may identify other solutions.

The DPTI Manual of Legal Responsibilities and Technical Requirements for Traffic Control Devices provides detail on specific Koala crossing installation guidelines.

12.6 Schools

In addition to the physical measures proposed in Medindie, it is recommended that Council consider the following in relation to traffic and pedestrian management at schools:  Implement or continue to enhance the DPTI ‘Way2Go’ Schools Program – further information and recommendations pertaining to the program can be found at http://www.dpti.sa.gov.au/Way2Go/schools. It is noted that Walkerville Primary School, Vale Park Primary School and Wilderness School are currently part of the program  Provide additional dedicated school bus services if there is sufficient demand. It is noted that Adelaide Metro bus services are available on Northcote Terrace, adjacent to the Wilderness School with an associated PAC  Education programs with parents and students (including Way2Go), including involvement from Council  Work with schools to provide improved end of trip facilities for cyclists, including lockers.

12.7 Alfred Street

Alfred Street, currently accessed from Walkerville Terrace or Stephens Terrace, provides an important link between Walkerville Oval and Walkerville Terrace.

If Council proceed with their concept for Alfred Street (refer to Strategic Directions Report, the Town of Walkerville Development Plan (consolidated 22 November 2012) and Figure 12.1 below, it is recommended a shared zone is developed (left in only from Walkerville Terrace).

Design parameters for shared streets are detailed in section B3 of the Streets for People Compendium. It is noted that Council have advised the development at 45 Park Terrace is to incorporate a shared zone.

13 Car Parking

The following Section details Councils proposed review of Residential Permit Parking along with relevant car parking considerations applicable to this study (including strategic car parking recommendations).

13.1 Residential Permit Parking

Council’s administration has advised the following potential policy basis for a future update of the Town of Walkerville Resident Permit Car Parking Policy:

‘Parking in Walkerville is a currently a contentious issue, and land and space that can be used for parking is hard to come by.

In our residential areas, planning policies encourage infill development, which often results in properties being subdivided and redeveloped – usually resulting in one house being turned into two. This often results in decreased frontages, additional crossovers, and hence decreased space for on-street parking.

In addition, and notwithstanding the relatively small size of the Town of Walkerville, the five schools within the area are extremely popular and in recent times there has been an increased demand for drop off and pick up areas in close proximity to school grounds.

As such, it is recommended that Council reviews its current Residential Permits Policy.

Given the emergence of new pressures and issues relating to parking in our residential streets, and given that the Council is attempting to encourage its residents and visitors to engage in alternate modes of travel, it is recommended that Council develop a new Policy which is based on the following notions:

Eligibility

You may be eligible for a residential parking permit provided:  You live permanently at your address located within the City boundaries  The property is rated residentially  You own your vehicle with your residential address shown on your certificate of registration  You have less than 2 onsite parking spaces  Eligibility for a car parking permit is to be reviewed every 12 months by Council

On-site vehicle parking spaces

Properties with onsite parking have reduced entitlement to parking permits. Properties with 2 or more onsite spaces are not entitled to parking permits. Properties with 1 onsite space may be entitled to 1 permit if 2 vehicles are registered to the property.’

It is recommended that Council undertake car parking occupancy surveys and consult with the community before any changes as per the above are proposed.

13.2 Opportunities Identified for Additional Car Parking as per the Urban Master Plan

Refer to Appendix C for further information.

13.3 Review of Parking Time Limits and Signage in the Town of Walkerville

Council has advised that a review of car parking time limits and associated signage is required within the Town of Walkerville (particularly associated with the Town Centre). This is supported. This review should detail Councils preferred direction for car parking within various areas following development of the MAP.

Given that there are external demands associated with the Town Centre, the critical (and first step) of a car parking review is to obtain quantitative car parking data (occupancy/turnover surveys) to understand existing demand and supply. The following high level analysis provides a basis for council to review their existing car parking time limit policies. It is noted that this analysis has been based on aerial photography only, and that any future car parking policy should be based on data collection as recommended above.

13.4 Other Strategic Car Parking Recommendations

The following car parking review/strategic car parking options are recommended:  Review success of Council’s car parking fund and update if required  Ensure all development meets requirements for on-site car parking, including any allowance/discount for sustainable transport or shared use policies, e.g. for mixed use type developments  Determine car parking demand and supply, e.g. it is recommended that further on-street and off-street car parking surveys are undertaken (including but not limited to Walkerville Terrace, Smith Street or the Walkerville Terrace Shopping Centre) by Council to obtain data as a basis for any proposed changes to existing car parking arrangements  Review car parking rates in the Development Plan in light of forthcoming Local Government Association work of new car parking rates (as per Aurecon/City of Port Adelaide Enfield Study).

14 Summary

This Movement Management Plan has investigated transport and traffic management options in response to Councils existing Movement Action Plan strategic framework and further MMP consultation.

All proposed treatment options developed are subject to required next steps (where applicable) detailed in Section 15 before any implementation.

14.1 Traffic and Transport Issues for Future Council Investigation

It is noted that a significant amount of traffic and transport issues (some conflicting) have been raised throughout the MMP process. Given that some issues are beyond the scope of this MMP, prominent issues raised (particularly from the Public Exhibition Session) are tabulated below for future Council investigations.

The ‘what we may have missed’ table is also included within Appendix B which details various issues and associated proposed solutions, both of which were identified by the community at the Public Exhibition Session.

Issues are not listed in any specific priority order.

14.2 Other Options Investigated Various options have been investigated as part of this plan and an analysis of options which are not considered feasible at this stage is provided below.

Cluny Avenue and the Watson Apartments

Cluny Avenue is currently controlled via a left in only restriction from Stephens Terrace with access for cyclists facilitated.

The potential re-opening of Cluny Avenue has been investigated as part of this MMP, and the potential for left out (and/or other movements from Cluny Avenue into Stephens Terrace) incorporating some LATM on Cluny Avenue was discussed with stakeholders at the PWG workshop.

Re-opening of Cluny Avenue is not recommended from a traffic management and local movement perspective given the current local area function of the road and the associated residential land use.

Investigations to date indicate that there is no significant traffic demand to justify opening Cluny Avenue. MFY Traffic Impact Assessment reports for the Walkerville Terrace Shopping Centre and the Watson Apartments developments indicate that the junctions of Warwick Street and Victoria Terrace operate with spare capacity (based on SIDRA intersection modelling). This represents the most detailed studies done to date.

From this perspective there is no real warrant/benefit of providing traffic with a cut-through route to avoid the Stephens Terrace/Walkerville Terrace signalised intersection. Any relaxation of the current left in only from Stephens Terrace would encourage through traffic which is considered undesirable from a safety and amenity perspective.

Various issues or comments associated with Cluny Avenue and the Watson Apartments were raised by a number of community members during the Public Exhibition Session (with many conflicting views regarding the issues).

Any future decisions relating to changing the current road network arrangement should be undertaken following analysis and review of traffic operation (once the Watson apartments are opened). It is an issue which may benefit from community consultation for that single issue given its sensitivity.

Torrens River Path connection to Town Centre (utilising existing informal path)

The opportunity has been identified by Council to formalise (with a 3m sealed shared path) an existing informal path along the Torrens River which subsequently connects the existing Linear Path with Victoria Terrace and the Town Centre.

The path is undulating, narrow and appears well traversed (refer to the Figures below).

Figure 14.3: Section of the informal path connecting to the Linear Path in between Burlington Street and Fuller Street

Source: Mott MacDonald, 2013

While it is recognised this path is not currently suitable for less abled people, at this stage it is recommended that any potential option is subject to further environmental investigation and community consultation to gauge preference of sealing the path.

The constraints associated with this option are identified below:

Distance: Compared to the proposed connection between Victoria Terrace and the Linear Path (Section 8.1.2), this path is a non-direct route.

77 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

Environmental and community concerns: Given the environmental ‘setting’ of the path and ambience, the community at large should be consulted before any options are proposed, e.g. an attraction is that it provides a short recreational ‘nature-walk’ with no bitumen directly adjacent the river (nature walking trail), as opposed to a direct access convenient route.

While it is noted that the community may also be supportive of this option, insufficient data is available at this stage to determine if this is an appropriate treatment option.

Gradient: According to Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 6A: Pedestrian and Cyclist Paths, the desirable gradient for a cycle path is 3% (maximum 5% or 1:20). However, sometimes it is difficult to achieve the gradients where a path follows a river and connection between paths must be achieved in the vicinity of steep embankment. The Austroads guide permits a maximum of 10% gradient for a 20m length (Refer clause 7.4.1 of Part 6A) for circumstances where the desirable gradient can’t be achieved.

In this scenario, the exiting gravel path is approximately 40m long with a gradient of 20% - 25% (1:5 – 1:4).

It is not practical to achieve the desirable gradient without significant earthworks (filling). There would be an associated environmental impact to the creek and surroundings, with a significant cost to achieve the maximum allowable gradient.

Subsequently, this option compared to that in Section 8.1.2 (connection between the Linear Path and Victoria Terrace) would be a significantly high cost.

Zebra crossings

To further investigate potential pedestrian improvements associated with the section of Walkerville Terrace between Stephens Terrace and Smith Street, this MMP has assessed the suitability of zebra crossings along this location.

A zebra crossing is a traffic control device which regulates traffic at a location providing priority to pedestrians crossing the road at that point (alternating black-white line marking across a road). As per the requirements stipulated in Manual of Legal Responsibilities and Technical Requirements for Traffic Control Devices Part 2 - Code of Technical Requirements, February 2012, DPTI, ‘the only form of zebra crossing permitted on roads in South Australia is the wombat crossing’ (refer to Austroads Guide to Traffic Management Part 8: Local Area Traffic Management).

However, it is noted that a zebra crossing trial has currently been undertaken by the City of Adelaide Council, in agreement with DPTI. It is understood from correspondence with DPTI (during consultation for this project – refer to Appendix B) that a LGA reference group has been established for pedestrian road crossings and that a City of Adelaide review of the zebra crossing trial is due soon.

78 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

Until the results of this trial are released zebra crossings are not a permitted device on public roads in South Australia. They are however, permitted to be installed in off-street areas where the speed limit is 20km/h or less (in accordance with the requirements stipulated within the Manual of Legal Responsibilities and Technical Requirements for Traffic Control Devices Part 2 - Code of Technical Requirements, February 2012, DPTI).

Given this, it is recommended that the Town of Walkerville continue with upgrades associated with kerb extensions, walkthrough crossings and a wombat crossing as provided within this MMP until the results of the zebra crossing trial are released.

One-way section of Hawkers Road between Arthur Street and Robe Terrace

The feasibility of a one-way section of Hawkers Road has been investigated as a component of this MMP to reduce through traffic movement on Hawkers Road.

Traffic data obtained from a 7-day count on Hawkers Road indicates that traffic volumes during the weekday are not significantly high and 85th percentile speed average is 46km/h – 48km/h (below the posted speed limit of 50km/h).

The peak times are 8:00am – 9:00am and 3:00pm – 4:00pm which is primarily associated with school pick- up and drop-off only. The following weekday averages have been obtained for the northbound and southbound lanes:  AM northbound: 140 vehicles  PM northbound: 127 vehicles  AM southbound: 292 vehicles  PM southbound: 190 vehicles.

Aside from the peak periods, traffic operation in the AM and pm does not exceed approximately 150 vehicles (two-way) per hour. For the function of this road, this volume is not considered significant or excessive.

It is noted that an issue of congestion at the corner of Robe Terrace and Hawkers Road was identified at the stakeholder consultation. This is primarily due to the design of Robe Terrace (narrow kerbing and two- way at this point) which is a residential street with car parking permitted on the residential kerbside.

It is noted that this design does slow vehicle movement (beneficial in a school area) and any widening is constrained by the adjacent major intersection.

Roundabout at Ilford Street / Harris Road intersection

The potential for a roundabout at the Harris Road/Ilford Street intersection has been investigated as a component of this study (with dimensions similar to the existing roundabout at the Harris Road/Fife Street intersection). However, given the required kerb / footpath modifications, an existing stobie pole would require relocation. This is considered infeasible at this stage due to the high cost versus benefits of a roundabout at this location in the residential area.

15 Required Next Steps

Treatment option recommendations are based on stakeholder consultation and the Council MAP Document Review. The final decision on implementation rests with the Town of Walkerville Council subject to various considerations, such as priority funding and further community and stakeholder consultation.

The following next steps are required to progress Council’s preferred treatment options:  Advertise the final treatment options within the Movement Management Plan (or MAP) on Council’s website and in hard copy at the Town Hall / Library  Consult with DPTI and emergency services prior to any detailed design of options  Develop an implementation plan  Engineering surveys including identifying the location of underground services  Collection of further road and traffic data where applicable  Detailed design of preferred options  Liaise with DPTI pertaining to future upgrades of the road network, intersections and active transport as per the Integrated Transport and Land Use Plan  SIDRA intersection modelling where applicable  Monitor outcomes of implementation to ensure treatments meet the ever changing needs of the community  Periodically review the MMP, including issues identified for further investigation in Section 14.

It is noted that shared path treatment options proposed as part of this MMP are subject to geotechnical investigations and engineering survey as required at the detailed design stage.

B.3 2013 Project Working Group Workshop – Mott MacDonald Summary (compiled by the Mott MacDonald Consultation Manager)

In addressing the outcomes of the PWG consultation in relation to the MMP, the following is noted (summary provided is an ‘as submitted version’ following the PWG workshop and is unchanged for this final report):  Following discussion with Council, it was determined that this foundation meeting (in terms of providing the basis from which a later general public consultation will derive), should consist of a manageable representative focus group opportunity, involving a smaller number of stakeholders. The purpose was to verify whether the six principles from the Town of Walkerville Strategic Framework should provide the foundation for the project in relation to the forthcoming review and planning, or whether there were additional concerns which needed to be taken into account  The attendees (and this included four Elected Members) were enthusiastic about providing input relating to problems, solutions and opportunities  However, notable demographic representation from groups such as sporting bodies, seniors, users of the Linear Path and cyclists, were all absent from the focus group (potentially along with some other unidentified interest groups). The feedback may therefore not be 100% representative of the Town of Walkerville community  As a result, when outcomes from this draft are viewed by the public at the 2014 exhibition, critics of any proposal may try to challenge on the basis that their views were not adequately captured in the formative focus group activity (PWG workshop)  If issues ultimately fail to be satisfactorily canvassed to the satisfaction of discrete interest groups within the Plan, disgruntled groups or individuals could claim that the information and feedback gathered at the PWG workshop was incomprehensive and therefore failed to include ‘specific x’ or ‘specific y’ factors. For example within a week of the focus group, It has been advised that the Town of Walkerville had been subject to as many as 30 complaints about planning initiatives being made without adequate consultation (e.g. the already-emerging claim for instance that the meeting was a pretext for the intended reopening of Cluny Avenue). This as we know was not the purpose of the PWG workshop; however, the community would not be aware of the project process at this stage

It is recommended that Council adequately convey the message to the community of the basis for its chosen PWG approach during the 2014 public exhibition session and that all ‘actions’ are consulted on as options at this stage of the project.

The Workshop Process

The process on the day varied somewhat from the original Community Consultation and Engagement Plan. The original intention was to run three ‘by-precinct’ focus groups, however, stakeholder representation and logistics resulted in three tables of participants more generically representative across the entire Township. Although one table was itself a distinct ‘schools table’ which was valuable, it is noted

87 326659/SA/ADL/1/C 1 July 2014 P:\Adelaide\SAN\Projects\326659 - Town of Walkerville MMP\05 Documents\5_1 Working files\13. Final Movement Management Plan (Rev 3)\Movement Management Plan (Rev 3).docx Town of Walkerville - Movement Action Plan Movement Management Plan

that there was representation from all schools except Vale Park at this table. The table was also augmented by the inclusion of DPTI education professionals from the ‘Way2Go’ program. The representation (invitation) of stakeholders was facilitated by Council, and a limitation was potentially lack of representation, (apart from Elected Members) from the Vale Park, Medindie and Gilberton areas.

After an introduction and overview of the purpose of the evening by the Deputy Mayor and the Town of Walkerville, the tables, led by Mott MacDonald facilitators, used the six Principles from the Town of Walkerville Strategic Framework as a catalyst for:  Validation that these are the major issues of concern to residents in relation to traffic planning  To test the Principles and both try to identify prospective solutions and identify other issues that perhaps have not been adequately covered  To ‘vote’ at the end on what are perceived as the most serious concerns and possible solutions

The Outcome of Discussion Regarding the Project Framework Principles

The most identified issue (but only marginally more highly prioritised):  Reduce the need for people to drive their own private car within the Township, particularly within the Town Centre. This received 10 votes  On 9 votes each: – Strengthen and improve amenities for pedestrians and cyclists in designated areas, particularly along major transit corridors where off-road shared used paths, on-road bicycle lanes, footpaths and cycling friendly streets should prevail so as to promote walking and cycling – Provide stronger connections between the Township and the Linear Park

Ways and Means to Manage the 2014 Public Consultation

It has already been flagged to some residents who have indicated their concerns about the consultation that there will be a much broader stakeholder consultation session to be held in March of 2014. Given the level of interest and prospective depth of feeling about what might change (and the longer term impact of changes such as the opening of the Watson) this occasion will require considerable management.

Without identifying specific detail at this stage it will need to be:  Very well publicised so that there cannot be complaints that people weren’t aware of it. A public relations strategy and plan needs to be developed as part of this  It requires to be open over a considerable period of a day so that various stakeholders, such as the elderly, workers, education authorities all find it accessible  It should not be a ‘public meeting’ as such but an opportunity for people to drop in freely to what is in effect a public exhibition, see what is proposed, speak with the consultants about why certain decisions are being considered, and to leave understanding how their feedback will be incorporated  The suggestion has been made that this feedback mechanism might take the form of interactive ‘team boards’

Recommended that Council Street monitors potential issues in conjunction with DPTI. Entry to the Linear Path from Park Terrace (stairs The steep topography is noted. It is recommended only) is an issue due to steep topography that potential improvements are associated with upgrades or maintenance. Proposed amendments to the IGA car park could Given the low volumes of traffic associated with the result in conflicts for the exit onto Smith Street, car park, it is anticipated that this will not be an issue. particularly right turn movement (currently no exit) While delay exiting the car park may increase slightly (e.g. 5 seconds) this is not considered significant. Potential conflict associated with opposing traffic flow is not considered a significant issue given the low speed exit from the roundabout. Any issues associated with queuing at the roundabout blocking the right turn from the car park onto Smith Street can be prevented with keep clear signs if required.

It was also noted that ample smaller shops which directly front Walkerville disabled car parks located in the basement car park Terrace. A narrow footpath width for the proposed Linear Path The width of the shared path has been proposed at (connecting Victoria Terrace and the Linear Path at 2.5m to limit the impact on abutting vegetation and Fuller Street) connection is an issue, e.g. greater due to the proximity of a steep verge width (dual use) was required to ensure cyclists have 2.5m is the minimum shared path width as stipulated their own lane and don’t conflict with pedestrians. within Austroads Standards However, councillors also agreed the a narrower footpath does not encourage cyclists to travel at higher speeds Concern over the requirement for a pedestrian Given the proximity to the St Andrews School and the crossing on Church Street, e.g. limited demand in St Andrews Anglican Church, it is perceived that that area. However, other committee members there is a high pedestrian demand in the vicinity.
