Note: The sites marked with an asterisk (*) reference those work sites described above in
Table 6-7 where there is a discrepancy with the information presented in this table. The
discrepancy reflects the fact that the above table presents the worst case impact at any point
within the work site (ie the longest time the restriction would be in place at one or multiple
sections of the road). There is no distinction where this would take place within the work site
unlike Table 6-6 that references the impact at a given section.
The table shows that by far the greatest kerbside provisions occur at work site R4:
Clarence Street (182), followed by NW2: King Street (66) and then C2: College
Street (59). Any restrictions would be required due to the need to implement
temporary traffic management controls and kerbside/footpath restrictions at certain
times during construction to undertake various components of the proposed work.
The restrictions would only be in place for the duration of work and would likely only
occur outside of peak periods to coincide with the need to minimise disruption on
these busy roads.
There are sufficient alternative kerbside allocations and off-street parking provisions
in the city centre to avoid significant impacts from these kerbside restrictions.
However, the restrictions would inconvenience certain businesses and individuals,
the socioeconomic impacts of which are discussed in section 6.4.3.
Off-street access (parking, basement loading etc)
Off-street property access would be either temporarily prohibited or restricted in a
number of locations due to adjacent work along certain roads. Such impacts would
be temporary restrictions only during construction, and all accesses would be
reinstated. The temporary impacts would depend on the work undertaken adjacent to
each access. The major work (refer to the grey shaded activities in Table 3-3 to
Table 3-7) would potentially have a greater access impact due to the need
to implement traffic management controls and lane/kerbside restrictions over a longer
period of time. Any restrictions would be determined by the construction contractor
managing the construction staging and program. The impacts would include the:
Partial reduction/removal of traffic lanes, which would reduce kerbside access
for vehicles to and from property frontages
Partial reduction/removal of traffic lanes, which may reduce/remove access to
off-street parking locations
Direct closure or blockage of access to and from off-street parking locations.
