Question asked
- Why has a bi-directional bikeway been selected for the new Lathlain Street precinct, rather than a uni-directional bikeway on each side of Lathlain Street, as is prescribed in the ACT's Municipal Infrastructure Standards.
- What, if any, consideration has been given to the connectivity of the proposed bikeway as part of the new Lathlain Street precinct.
- How can a southbound cyclist continue when they reach the intersection with Cohen Street.
- How can a cyclist connect between the Lathlain Street bikeway and the Joynton Smith Drive bikeway.
- Does the Suburban Land Agency (SLA) consider it acceptable if the design encourages north-south car users to choose Benjamin Way or Coulter Drive instead of Lathlain Street; if not, does the SLA consider that the current volume of traffic on Lathlain Street is compatible with a "person-centric space".
- Why are chicanes and other traffic calming measures considered inappropriate for Lathlain Street, and on what traffic modelling or other considerations was this decision based.
