West Gate Tunnel Project GTA Review
21 August 2017 Title West Gate Tunnel Project Transport Expert Evidence #1John Kiriakidis – 22 August 2017 GTA Review (GTA Section 1.3) 1. Consider project’s strategic transport alignment with planning policy. 2. A peer review of analytics contained in the Transport Impact Assessment (TIAR) relied on to inform the EES in support of the Project. 3. Adoption of transport modelling forecasts prepared by VLC. #2 1 21 August 2017 GTA Strategic Alignment Methodology 1. Validate the transport challenges identified in the EES (and Business Case) which form the basis of need for the project by identifying their pre-existence in established policies and studies. 2. Review strategic planning policies to determine the extent of alignment with established policy and planning for Greater Melbourne, 3. Examine the EES as it relates to transport by exploring the project’s consistency with objectives set out in the Transport Integration Act (2010). #3 EES Project Scoping Objective EES Scoping Requirement (for Transport): • ‘To increase transport capacity and improve connectivity to and from the west of Melbourne, and, in particular, increase freight movement via the freeway network instead of local and arterial roads, while adequately managing the effects of the project on the broader and local road network, public transport, cycling and pedestrian transport networks’. • Key themes within the Objective: – Transport capacity – Improving connectivity (with emphasis on areas West of Melbourne) – Moving freight via a higher order road system – Adequately managing effects on public transport and active travel #4 2 21 August 2017 High Level Project Plan #5 Legislation / Policy Framework • The Transport Integration Act 2010 came into effect on 1 July 2010 and is Victoria's principal transport statute.

Wyndham Pedestrian & Cycle Strategy
dd Wyndham Pedestrian & Cycle Strategy Cyclist Feedback, Identified network expansion requirements and missing links Wyndham City Council has received a great deal of feedback on cycling within the municipality. The identified issues were considered in writing the 2019 Pedestrian and Cycling Strategy. The feedback has been grouped under common categories in the tables below, to keep like comments together. Table-1 Safety and Blackspot feedback Location Type Comment Derrimut Road Crossing Points crossings at Sayers and Leakes Roads – but I believe these are going to be dealt with by VicRoads Cycle lane Cycle lane on the Eastern side is in one direction only. It’s a busy Derrimut Road road so lanes on both sides of the road need to be two way. Also, going under the railway bridge near the Princess Highway Obstacles There are many obstacles within the shared paths – e.g. Derrimut SUP Road, adjacent to Aqualink – a no standing sign (I think) way too close to the middle of the Shared path. Cyclists could easily crash into it; Cnr Derrimut Road and Willmott Cres – many signs Derrimut Road obstructing the path – traffic lights, bike path sign (!!), no standing or something. Not at all safe. Also a shared path sign on cnr of Kookaburra and Derrimut – in middle of path instead of off to the side. Kookaburra Ave Cycle Path Paths on Kookaburra Ave have speed cushions in them. At night Obstacles they are invisible (even with bicycle lights). No need – could have treatment similar to Shaw’s Road. Also path disappears before T intersection with Derrimut Road.

Recreational Activity Surveys During COVID-19 and Comparison with Pre-Lockdown Activity Levels
More people out on bicycles: Recreational activity surveys during COVID-19 and comparison with pre-lockdown activity levels May 2020 Measuring recreational activity in unprecedented times Lockdown in Victoria On 30 March 2020, the Minister for Health and Medical Research signed an Order for stage 3 lockdown measures to be put in place across Australian states, following a national outbreak of the novel coronavirus. The Order, which in Victoria falls under section 200 of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act (2008)1, 2, places legally enforceable restrictions on all non-essential gatherings, as a means of minimising the spread of the deadly virus. During the stage 3 restrictions, there are only four reasons for Victorian residents to be outside: • purchasing food and essential supplies; • medical, care or compassionate needs; • exercise; and • work and study if they cannot be undertaken remotely2. How has this affected our recreational activities? An arising question is how these restrictions have affected the recreational needs of residents in Victoria and elsewhere. A recent survey by Bicycle Network3 found that, in response to stage 3 restrictions across Australian states: • 73 per cent [of respondents] are planning to use a bicycle to access essential services (shops, healthcare, work and education) in the coming weeks and months; • 84 per cent of healthcare workers said they would ride bicycles more or the same amount; and • Most respondents (39 per cent) said that they will be riding a bicycle outdoors to get their daily exercise. In addition, emerging data suggests an increase in bicycle purchases during lockdown restrictions4. These findings suggest that, given these increased needs for bicycle-related transport, exercise and recreation; Australian roads and shared paths may be exhibiting major deviations from normal bicycle traffic volumes.

Wyndham Cycle Strategy – Cyclist Feedback
Wyndham Cycle Strategy – Cyclist Feedback We have received a great deal of feedback already on cycling within Wyndham. We have considered these items when writing the strategy so far and will include them in an appendix contained in the final version of the Strategy. The appendix list will inform Wyndham City’s future infrastructure planning and capital works budgets, and any advocacy to State and Federal Governments for cycle infrastructure funding. We have included this list so that all involved in the consultation know what other community members have provided as well as what is being considered as input into the strategy. The responses have been grouped under common categories to keep like comments together. Safety/Blackspots Comments include: If it felt safer to ride - the traffic is extremely scary, sometimes. I prefer to have dedicated bicycle only or shared paths for safety reasons and for a relaxed enjoyable ride. I believe more people will be into cycling in Wyndham Vale if such dedicated bike trials exists. Tarneit Rd – at some points the cycle path is in service roads, and cyclists who are travelling straight ahead inexplicably have to give way to motorists who are turning left. Derrimut Rd – crossings at Sayers and Leakes Roads – but I believe these are going to be dealt with by VicRoads Derrimut Rd – Cycle lane on the Eastern side is in one direction only. It’s a busy road so lanes on both sides of the road need to be two way. Also, going under the railway bridge near Princes Hwy – the shared path is almost unusable and frequently covered in glass.

Shared Paths
Shared paths – the issues They [cyclists] go ‘whoosh’ as they go past, and often the “ paths aren’t very wide, so this notion that you have to share has to come with more thought. If there’s not enough room it’s not a good match. If it’s got to be shared it’s got to be wider. Or separation between them.” Quote from focus groups with Victorian seniors (Garrard 2013) Thank You Victoria Walks would like to acknowledge and thank the following organisations who provided source information and feedback on the initial draft of this paper. • CDM Research • Frankston City Council • Wyndham City Council • Malcolm Daff Consulting • City of Yarra • Cardinia City Council Victoria Walks would also like to thank Dr Jan Garrard, VicRoads and officers from the following councils, who provided comment on the draft – Ballarat, Bayside, Boroondara, Brimbank, Dandenong, Latrobe, Macedon Ranges, Manningham, Maroondah, Melton, Moonee Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Nillumbik and Surf Coast. Finally, Victoria Walks would like to thank the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) for facilitating engagement with councils. Acknowledgement of these organisations should not be implied as endorsement of this paper and its recommendations by any of the organisations named. Shared Paths – the issues. Version 3.1, May 2015 ©Victoria Walks Inc. Registration No. A0052693U Recommended citation Victoria Walks (2015). Shared paths – the issues, Melbourne, Victoria Walks. Shared paths – the issues Outline This paper considers issues around shared walking and cycling paths. It reviews the literature relating to: • The safety of shared paths, including collision risk, the speed of cyclists and potential impact on pedestrians • User perception of shared paths • The circumstances where walking and cycling paths should be segregated or separated • International and local design guidance around shared paths • The practice of converting footpaths to shared paths • Legal liability issues raised by shared paths.
