Recommendations - City of West Torrens - SA.Gov.au

Executive Summary
The City of West Torrens is
experiencing significant growth in
traffic through a combination of new
developments, its location in close
proximity to the CBD, its proximity
to the coast and major transport
hubs. Increasing congestion in the
arterial road network, due to capacity
constraints at critical intersections
and increasing use of local streets
by through traffic to bypass these
congested roads, require strategies to
be put in place to address these issues.
Increasing urban consolidation through
in-fill developments, regeneration
of existing large industrial areas and
current/future significant developments
at the Adelaide Airport have also
contributed to concerns about parking
availability issues on the road network.
The Transport Strategy considers the
future traffic and parking demands on
the arterial and local road networks
over the next 20 years and importantly,
it identifies strategies that the City
could implement to maintain good
accessibility, provide a safe road
network, maintain a high level of
amenity for residents and a high level
of parking opportunity throughout the
City.
The Transport Strategy provides
strategies in a number of key areas:
• DTEI Road Network
• Managing freight impacts
• Pedestrian and Cycling Plans
• Public Transport
• Travel Demand Management
• Local Road Network
• Crash identification and action
• Monitoring of traffic patterns
• Traffic management
• Parking management
The Transport Strategy is being
developed in conjunction with the
City’s Section 30 Development Plan
Review. The inclusion of relevant
and appropriate policies in the
Development Plan will help achieve
some of the outcomes sought by the
Transport Strategy.
