Grafton Area of Major Change SPD 2017

Representation ID: 31930

Received: 01/11/2017

Respondent: Matthew Danish

Representation Summary:

The numbers do not add up on this diagram. It claims the carriageway is 3.4 metres, but somehow is composed of a 2m cycle lane and a 3m service lane. In fact Burleigh Street is only 10.7 metres wide so there is clearly insufficient room to have a 5 metre carriageway in the centre while still maintaining the street as a pedestrianised centre. This whole concept for Burleigh Street does not work and needs to be completely rethought.
Your numbers don't add up. 2 + 3 = 5, not 3.4
There's not enough space on Burleigh Street for all these elements. It would completely lose its pedestrianised character. Back to the drawing board on this one.
