Table F-2 in Appendix F provides further site-specific details on the kerbside
allocation changes as a result of the proposal. Specifically it shows a net balance of
the kerbside allocation changes between 6.00am and 8.00pm Monday to Friday, as
described in Table 3-3 to Table 3-7. For example, whilst loading zone provisions may
be removed along one section of road, additional provisions may be introduced along
other sections of the same road. It also provides additional detail on the few changes
that would occur to other kerbside provisions, showing net changes in two locations:
The creation of full time taxi zone provisions at work site NW2: King Street
The creation of three drop-off/pick-up parking spaces at S5: Broadway
The loss of use of three five-minute parking spaces at work site R3: Sussex
Street during the weekday afternoon peak period
The permanent loss of one consular space at work site R4: Clarence Street.
Appendix F does not describe all the kerbside uses in a given work site, as not all
uses would be permanently altered or modified under the proposal. It also does not
show the impacts during the weekday evening or at the weekend as these would be
limited and offset by adequate available provisions elsewhere in the city centre.
Overall, the kerbside restrictions would be offset by the availability of a net surplus of
off-street parking in the city, including mobility parking (as described under the
Access Strategy).
Off-street access (parking, basement loading etc)
No off-street property accesses would be altered or changed under the operational
proposal.
Traffic conditions and network performance (operational impacts)
The proposal would improve the performance of some of the city’s most congested
roads and constrained intersections. It would also allow the wider road network to
accommodate the anticipated changes to traffic conditions introduced under the
Access Strategy.
Table 6-11 shows the same information as presented in Table 6-3 but for the 2024
‘do something’ scenario. It also reports the difference between the existing DoS at
each intersection (under the 2014 ‘do nothing’ scenario) and the predicted future DoS
at the corresponding intersections selected for improvement under the proposal.
Cells with bold black text show there would be an improvement in performance
relative to the current situation (ie the 2014 ‘do nothing scenario). Cells with bold red
text show there would be a reduction in performance relative to the current situation,
and unshaded cells show where there would be no change relative to the current
situation. A reduction in DoS between the existing situation and the predicted future
scenario is shown as a negative number.
