The design for this area looks at creating a slower, welcoming entrance into Don Street and Western Road from Great Northern Road that prioritises walking, cycling and wheeling.

You told us the current street layout encourages a high volume and speed of traffic exiting onto Great Northern Road, crossing the road is difficult and pavements are too narrow. You also wanted to see the greenspace enhanced to act as a gateway.

“People can’t cross where it is convenient for them, more traffic on junction as the visibility is not good.”

“Seating needed if people want to sit”

About the Design:

From this, we have developed design ideas that:

raises the junction to slow down vehicles entering/exiting onto Great Northern Road and reduces the crossing distance at the traffic lights;

removes the left hand filter lane onto Great Northern Road to increase the pavement width;

adds an advanced stop line, giving priority to those travelling by bike;

provides a new informal crossing that follows observed movement patterns;

formalises parking bays along Don Street; and

enhances the greenspace with a sculpture feature (to be developed further) to provide seating and light.

Note: the design for this area is depends on the design regarding Don Street Bridge.
