Thanks to all residents who have so far provided their input into the project, to assist Council in identifying the key traffic issues within Stage 4 study area in Darley. We are now better placed to make informed recommendations on what is required to make the area safe for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.
A draft plan will now be prepared based on the feedback received as well as site assessments and traffic data and presented to Council in the coming months. Following that, a further opportunity will be provided to the community to have input into the draft document and recommended treatments.
If you feel that there are traffic issues that need to be addressed and/or if you have any suggestions as to what traffic control measures would be suitable to address the issues, you are strongly encouraged to complete the community questionnaire and provide feedback on the interactive map between.
The opportunity to provide your feedback closed Sunday 21 March 2021.
LATM is a process to develop a scheme to reduce the traffic impact on local streets whilst improving their amenity.
The LATM study area for Stage 4 is Darley, which will extend from the north of Albert Street to Pamela Court and is bounded by the Lerderderg River to the east, as outlined below.
The key objective of the LATM Study is to minimise the effect of traffic in the local streets, whilst improving the pedestrian and bicycle facilities and local street amenity.
Potential treatments including roundabouts, speed humps/cushions, kerb extensions, line marking and bike lanes can be considered for implementation within the study area to mitigate certain traffic issues.
