Workshop 1A: Design parameters and geographic constraints -Mitcham’s Corner to south of Woodhead Drive

Milton Road Bus Priority Corridor

Glenn Higgs

Sept 2016

Key principles:• Bus lanes in one direction• Continuous provision for cyclists,

segregated where possible• Pedestrian & cycle crossing facilities• Enhancement to streetscape

CURRENT DESIGN PLANS: MITCHAM’S CORNER TO GILBERT RD

Raised entry

Parallel crossings

Shared-use bus stop

Raised (segregated) cycle lanes

Bus lane

Area outside highway boundary

Advanced Stop LineBus gate

Signalised junction

Two-way shared use path & verge/trees

Signalised junction

Road closure

Off road cycle path

New public/green spaces

Toucan crossing

Area outside highway

CURRENT DESIGN PLANS: GILBERT RD TO ELIZABETH WAY
