CBD TO PRESTON BICYCLE CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS

LOCATION Metropolitan VIC
CLIENT Department of Transport & Planning
DESCRIPTION Streetscape improvements
PROJECT PERIOD 2017 - 2019

This project included the planning and detailed design of approximately 5km of bicycle corridor improvements along each of St Georges Road, Napier Street, Dynon Road and Albert Street. The scope for St Georges Road and Napier Street was to reallocate traffic lanes into dedicated cycle lanes, whilst Dynon Road implemented an offroad two-way cycle path on one side of the carriageway.

Albert Street had one of the first protected intersections in Australia, which aimed to improve separation and efficiency between cyclists, pedestrians and motorists with the use of small islands at each corner of the intersection. All of the locations included:
• Functional and detailed design of separated bicycle treatment options
• Traffic and parking analysis.

For the protected intersection site on Albert/Lansdowne Street, it included the evaluation of the treatment post completion.
