Resolution detail
RESOLVED that:
It be recommended that Subcouncil noted that:
-
Based on the 359 comments received during the public participation on the proposed permanent full and partial road closures, responses to these objections as considered, that the Transport Portfolio Committee recommends to MAYCO and thereafter Council the approval of the following full and partial road closures:
-
Partial closure of Fernwood Avenue at the intersection with the M3 to both
vehicular and pedestrian traffic, Bishopscourt. By means of:
-
Median closure along the M3 at the intersection of Fernwood Avenue, and
-
The conversion of Fernwood Avenue access to a Left-in only, and
-
The removal of the Fernwood Avenue pedestrian crossing.
-
Partial closure of Upper Torquay Avenue at the intersection with the M3 to
vehicular and pedestrian traffic, Bishopscourt, by means of:
-
Median closure along the M3 at the intersection of Upper Torquay Avenue.
-
Full road closure of Hillwood Road at the intersection with the M3, to vehicular traffic Bishopscourt, by means of:
-
Median closure along the M3 at the intersection of Hillwood Road, and
-
Full closure of Hillwood Road at the M3, i.e. a cul-de-sac, retaining access to existing driveway.
-
Based on the fact that the full and partial road closures, together with the additional outbound lane between Newlands Ave and Hillwood Road, together with various intersection upgrades, allows for the facilitation of reduced travel time along this major arterial and rationalizes the number of start-stop instances that the Transport Portfolio Committee recommends to MAYCO and thereafter Council the approval of the full and partial road closures as detailed above.
