Construction traffic access/egress from each work site would require traffic
management controls to be implemented, which would cause some pedestrian
and cyclist delays
Footpath closures would require pedestrians to divert to alternative routes,
which may lead to travel delays and increase walking distances
Pedestrian crossing restrictions would reduce amenity and accessibility, and
potentially require diversions
Cycleway restrictions may force cyclists to use general traffic lanes, bus lanes
or footpaths. This could lead to increased journey times as well as reduced
capacity and accessibility
Bicycle rack restrictions would reduce cycling amenity and accessibility. This is
discussed in section 6.5.3.
Potential impacts would be managed and minimised by staging the construction
program as described above.
Bus infrastructure and services
Access to 15 bus stops may be restricted during construction. Table 6-6 summarises
the location of each potentially affected bus stop and the bus routes it supports. This
summarises information presented in Appendix F. In all cases, provision would be
made to relocate the bus stops to maintain all services across the city centre.
Depending on the staging of the Sydney City Centre Bus Infrastructure construction
work, additional (temporary) bus stops and services may be affected; however, until
these details are confirmed it is not possible to assess the exact bus stop restrictions.
The list provided in Table 6-6 does however describe the existing bus stops and
services that could be temporarily affected.
