Recommendations The Canberra Pedestrian Forum recommends that: 1. the following projects proceed: • Woden Accessible Street project – Bradley St. • Woden - Wisdom Street link. • Tuggeranong Accessible Street Project – Pittman St and Athllon Dr. • Gungahlin Accessible Street Project – Hibberson St; Canberra Pedestrian Forum www.tinyurl/walkact 1 Canberra Pedestrian Forum 2. The South Canberra - Kings Avenue off road path proceed, subject to speed controls where pedestrian and cycle routes coincide, and a minimum shared path width of 3.5 metres; 3. the following projects proceed only if sufficient funds are available in 2011-2012: • South Canberra - Brisbane Avenue on road lanes. • South Canberra - Kings Avenue on road path. • Belconnen Accessible Street project – Lathlain & Chandler Sts. • Belconnen - Chandler Street On Road Cycle Lane (for safety reasons, subject to either the speed limit being reduced to 30 km/h or the median being retained); 4. the following projects not proceed in their current form: • Civic Cycle Loop. • Bunda St Shared Space. • South Canberra - Kingston foreshore temporary connection. • Tuggeranong - Athllon Drive on-road cycle lanes - Atkins to Hindmarsh. • Gungahlin - Hibberson Street Shared Space; 5. as recommended by Professor Leo Dobes of the Crawford School of Economics and Government, walking and cycling infrastructure projects should in future be short-listed on the basis of cost- effectiveness, measured if feasible by willingness to pay; 6. the twenty most cost-effective projects (Table 2) be considered for future funding, ahead of the less cost-effective of the projects in the 2011 short list; 7. future reviews of Canberra's walking infrastructure consider the entire walking and cycling network, noting that every journey begins and ends at home, but not every journey involves travel on a trunk route; 8. the economic measures that the ACT Treasury requires, to justify expenditure on walking and cycling projects, be equivalent to the economic measures that the Treasury requires to justify expenditure on motor vehicle infrastructure projects; and 9. Projects be weighted more favourably if they cater for both walking and cycling, rather than for only one mode of transport. Canberra Pedestrian Forum www.tinyurl/walkact 2 Canberra Pedestrian Forum Priorities for 2011 The Canberra Pedestrian Forum has ranked the cost-effectiveness of the projects short listed for 2011, using July 2011 costings. The results are shown in Table 1. Rank Project Cost per unit effectiveness 1 Accessible Street – Bradley St Woden $0.29m 2 Bunda Street Shared Space $0.40m 3 Accessible Street – Pittman St and Athllon Drive $0.44m Tuggeranong 4 Kingston Foreshore Link - off road path1 $0.59m 5 Hibberson St Shared Space $0.63m 6 Accessible Street – Hibberson St Gungahlin $0.64m 7 Kings Avenue - off road path $0.94m 8 Wisdom street link - off road Options 1A and 2A2 $1.88m 9 Accessible Street – Lathlain and Chandler Sts $2.10m Belconnen 10 Chandler Street - on road lanes $2.55m 11 Kings Avenue - on road lanes $3.05m 12 Brisbane Avenue - on road lanes Option 1 $6.05m 13 Civic Cycle Loop - Copenhagen lanes along Marcus $12.02m Clarke, Rudd and Allara Streets and part of Bunda Street. 14 Athllon Drive cycle lanes - Atkins to Hindmarsh $30.75m Table 1: Cost-effectiveness ranking of projects short listed for 2011. 1 The Kingston Foreshore Link is a temporary measure, pending completion in 2012 of the off-road lakeside shared path. 2 The proposed Wisdom Street Link does not include the Kent St section that was included in the original proposal.

These are Bunda Street shared space and Accessible Street Gungahlin. Pedestrian Forum cost-effectiveness ranking method The Canberra Pedestrian Forum ranking method uses the same data as the Cardno ranking method, but differs in the following respects: Canberra Pedestrian Forum www.tinyurl/walkact 4 Canberra Pedestrian Forum Criterion Canberra Cardno method Pedestrian Forum method Project “Cost per unit Project cost was divided by the number of cost effectiveness” people living within 500 metres of the route. was obtained by This factor was normalised to 10% of the dividing the maximum possible score, and added to the project cost by total of the other scores. the weighted Because two projects with extreme cost-per total of the 3 other scores. person scores were included , the normalised cost scores of the remaining 199 projects ranged over less than 1% of the maximum possible score. Criteria As determined “Number of attractors” was changed to from community “weighted number of attractors per km.” consultation – see Table 5.3 of “Total population served by route” was the Cardno changed to “total population served by route report. per km.” “Total jobs served by route” was changed to “total jobs served by route per km.” Criteria Proportional to “Connectivity” weighting was reduced from 7 weightings “points scored points out of 33 (21%) to 20%. in consultation workshop” as “Demand” weighting was increased from 5 reported in points out of 33 (15%) to 20%. Table 5.3 of the “Network Enhancement” weighting was Cardno report. reduced from 8 points out of 33 (24%) to 20%. “Safety” weighting was reduced from 11 points out of 33 (33%) to 20%. “Strategic Importance” weighting was increased from 2 points out of 33 (6%) to 10%. Population Mouat St project The Mouat St project was erroneously excluded from attributed a population of 170,148. This consideration. resulted in the “population” scores of all other projects being normalised to much less than the nominated 10%. 3 “Lanyon Drive on-road cycle lanes”($65,000, population zero, infinite cost per person) and “Fyshwick-to-airport off-road path” ($17m, population 34, cost-effectiveness” factor $0.5 million per person).

  • Comments on Pedestrian and Cycle Movement Study for Woden Town Centre, Mawson Group Centre and Athllon Drive East
    www.tinyurl/WalkACT Comments on Pedestrian and Cycle Movement Study for Woden Town Centre, Mawson Group Centre and Athllon Drive East The specific needs of people who walk and cycle Short, direct, uninterrupted routes. Bus stops located as close as possible to safe crossing points. Safety from road and stranger danger – including for the two in five Canberra cyclists who are aged under 15, and for people who walk or cycle to school or work, or whose commutes include walking to and from bus stops (see following table): Commute to school or Children (derived from ABS Adults (2011 census) work, Canberra Census at School, 2012) Walk 8,506 8,271 Cycle 4,029 4,662 Walk to and from bus stops 12,500 11,124 Known pedestrian routes to and through the study area – where are people walking and cycling to and from? The unpublished 2012 and 2013 ACT Government cordon count results include valuable information on the respective numbers of pedestrians and cyclists who use each walking and/or cycling route into and out of the Woden Town Centre. Known pedestrian and cyclist issues and barriers to walking and cycling to and through the study area. Motor vehicle speed is a safety issue for pedestrians and cyclists – especially for children under ten who, according to Kidsafe ACT, should not be allowed to walk or cycle on (presumably including across) roads without adult supervision. The introduction of 40 km/h speed limits in and near Town Centres will reduce the danger, though is is not clear that Kidsafe would regard it as safe for children under ten to walk or cycle on 40 km/h roads without adult supervision.

  • Light Rail Update
    Gungahlin to Woden (via Barton) Light Rail Update DATE: 15 June 2018 Artist impression Artist impression STATEMENT FROM THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND CITY SERVICES Canberra is one of the world’s most liveable cities – a destination of choice to live, work, visit and invest. As Australia grows, so too will Canberra. The ACT Government is planning for our city’s growth by ensuring we have sufficient transport infrastructure in place before increasing congestion critically impacts our highly regarded urban amenity and quality of life. Canberra’s light rail network is a transformational city-shaping project for the Territory, providing an attractive, reliable and convenient public transport choice that connects families, students, communities and cultures. The initial corridor between Gungahlin and Woden via the City and the Parliamentary Zone will form the backbone of the network, linking activity centres north and south of Lake Burley Griffin. In time it will be intersected by a future east-west corridor operating between Belconnen and the Canberra International Airport and other network extensions. This light rail update focusses on the development of the City to Woden (via Barton) portion of Canberra’s overall light rail network. Since the last light rail update, the ACT Government has reaffirmed its commitment to developing the project with $12.5 million to be invested in progressing the project throughout the 2018-19 financial year. The ACT Government also welcomes the upcoming inquiry into the project to be conducted by the Commonwealth’s Joint Standing Committee on the National Capital and External Territories. The ACT Government will continue to engage with the Canberra community as the City to Woden light rail project develops, and as the City to Gungahlin light rail alignment draws closer to completion.
