Project Management Guidelines - National Transport Authority

Site investigation– Park entrance not MID-compliant- existing signalised crossing to be upgraded to Toucan crossing– Park entrance to be set back to provide 5m shared surface for cyclists exiting park– Small level difference between park and school (0.5m)- short ramp up from park to school required> > Drainage assessment– No history of flooding– Drainage on both sides of track– French drains to discharge into park stream near school entrance> > Services discovery– No services in park– 38KV line at park entrance- does not need to be shifted> > Finalise route alignment– No change to preliminary route> > Detailed design– To control bicycle speed on long link, and emphasise pedestrian priority (cycle manual 1.2.4,picture), trial of profiled speed control surface to be undertaken> > ITS arrangements– All ITS systems / controllers to be located adjacent to existing UTC-connected traffic signal controllerat park entrance> > Impact of lighting on ecology of park– Report from Parks Department (attached) indicates alignment running in open space, not nearsensitive habitats; report supports ambient (standard) street lighting at park entrance and schoolgate; intelligent lighting elsewhere> > Location of cycle parking within the park– Cycle parking at park entrance; no need for cycle parking near school (school has sufficient internalcycle parking); cycle parking also required at playgroundImplications of Project Brief:Changes at park entrance:> > Setting back of block wall, paving of shared area, and reconfiguring of existing pedestrian crossing asToucan- cost estimate €65,000 incl. VAT. No timeline implications (can be run concurrent with mainproject).Note – this upgrade to Toucan can be done as a separate project, as it significantly changes the overallscheme cost> > Ramp to school (short ramp, local grading, no railings)- no cost or time implications.Bicycle speed management:> > Speed profile units (“bromfietsdrempels”) to be sourced from Netherlands (€7,000).> > May need to be retro-fitted, if product cannot be sourced quickly.80
