KEY CONCEPT: PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY STREETS A street is a spatial entity and not the residue between buildings. Anonymous Any town that doesn’t have sidewalks doesn’t love its children. Margaret Mead In order to ensure Armstrong Creek’s streets are pedestrian-friendly, a network of ‘connector streets’ will be provided across the growth area. This will distribute traffic evenly, avoiding almost entirely the need for major, heavily-trafficked ‘nonfrontage’ roads which are typically unpleasant and unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists, and create a barrier between development on either side. The connector streets are spaced approximately 800 metres apart, which will ensure their traffic can be accommodated by one travel lane in each direction. Generous footpaths, kerbside parking and development frontages on both sides will ensure a pedestrian-friendly environment. Local streets are also required to be interconnected, to distribute local traffic movements through the provision of convenient routes between any two points. This can be contrasted with culs-de-sac and loop roads, which rely on busy, wide collector roads. 4.8.9 LOCAL STREETS Within the growth area, a network of local streets will be provided. Two-lane connector streets will be provided at a spacing of approximately 800 metres, which will lead to low traffic flows and a safe and pleasant environment in which pedestrians can move around the development area. Lower order streets will provide access to individual properties. ARMSTRONG CREEK URBAN GROWTH PLAN / VOLUME 1 (ADOPTED 13 MAY 2008, AMENDED MAY 2010) 106
Figure 4.8.2 Possible cross-section of connector street The majority of intersections within the development will be unsignalised and the network will be designed to minimise the generation of “rat runs”. However, where connector streets intersect with main arterial routes (Surf Coast Highway, Barwon Heads Road, etc) signals or roundabouts will need to be considered. In general, it is proposed that the following intersection controls will be incorporated in the development: Arterial/ Arterial – Signals Arterial/ Level 2 Connector – Signals Connector/ Connector (Level 1 or 2) – Unsignalised (possible roundabouts) Level 1 Connector/ Access Street – Unsignalised Access Street/ Access Place - Unsignalised In general the subdivisional roads in the development should meet the requirements of Clause 56 of the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme.
