What we proposed

Two pedestrian zebra crossings in Arthur Street will be replaced with raised crossings.

A new raised threshold treatment with pedestrian zebra crossing will be constructed at the intersection of Arthur Street and Main Road.

Right turns from Arthur Street into Main Road will be banned.

What we heard

Of the contributions received via Participate Nillumbik, 70% supported or provided conditional support to the proposed Arthur Street raised pedestrian zebra crossings proposals.

Key concerns related to the pedestrian safety and the need for the new raised threshold zebra treatment on Main Road.

• Support enhancements to the existing pedestrian crossings on Arthur Street;
• The raised threshold crossings will significantly contribute to pedestrian safety and ease of access for the disabled;
• Concern that the crossing at the corner of Arthur Street is going to result in cars entering Arthur Street blocking Main Road while they wait for pedestrians and also safety of pedestrians given right turning movements from Main Road;
• Stopping right-hand turns out of Arthur Street is supported;
• Pedestrian accessibility around car park entrances and exits is currently difficult;
• Concern that three pedestrian crossings on Arthur Street is excessive;
• Suggestion for improved linemarking guidance for drivers for the right turn from
• Main Road into Arthur Street;
• Suggestion to improve street lighting at the pedestrian crossings; and
• Suggestion to make Luck, Pryor, Arthur and Dudley streets each one way between Main Road and Bible Street.
