1810-8094 SRA Information request (Council reference MCU18 0158 RAL18 0017)

                                                                                                1810-8094 SRA



Information requested—bus stop relocation
1. Discuss alternative locations or designs for the proposed awning over the Elm Street footpath that will
    not conflict with the existing bus stop ‘Elm St at Cooroy Station, Cooroy’ (TransLink ID: 700540,
    Hastus ID: 301598), or require that the bus stop is relocated.
2. Where it can be demonstrated that the development cannot feasibly avoid relocation of the bus stop,
   the bus stop should be located as close as possible to its existing location. In accordance with
   Transport Operations (Road Use Management – Road Rules) Regulation 2009, the separation
   distance should be 10 metres from a non-signalised intersection to the start of the bus zone. Further
   information about the proposed bus stop location is required that considers the following:
         a. the operational considerations for the planning and design of bus stops in Section 5.5 - Bus
            Stop Environment of Chapter 5 – Bus Stop Infrastructure (pages 15-21) of the Public
            Transport Infrastructure Manual 2015 (available at: http://translink.com.au/about-
            translink/reports-and-publications) and the Transport Operations (Road Use Management –
            Road Rules) Regulation 2009, in particular stopping at intersections
         b. conflict with the existing pedestrian refuge crossing arrangement across Elm Street. The
            existing pedestrian refuge connects directly to the site frontage and the paved pedestrian
            path on the opposite side of Elm Street. This provides direct pedestrian access to the Cooroy
            train station and the bus stop pair ‘Elm Street at Cooroy Station, Cooroy’ (Hastus ID: 301599,
            TransLink ID: 700548). The existing pedestrian crossing arrangement is direct, convenient
            and integral to public passenger transport access and facilitating modal interchange. The
            relocated bus stop must not result in a safety issue for the existing pedestrian refuge
         c.   potential constraints (e.g. stormwater drainage infrastructure, power poles, driveways etc)
              including traffic hindrances and safety issues in relocating the bus stop (e.g. ingress/egress
              points, queuing/deceleration of traffic, turn lanes, sight lines/distances and blind spots
              affecting potential bus drivers and pedestrians)
         d. design and construction requirements in accordance with Chapter 5 – Bus stop Infrastructure
            of the Public Transport Infrastructure Manual 2015, with relevant components reinstated
            where possible. A scaled and labelled proposal plan that clearly shows the positioning and
            design of the relocated bus stop is required
         e. where the relocated bus stop will not be located adjacent to the subject site, provide written
            evidence that the relevant land owner/s do not object to the proposed location of the bus stop
            where it is proposed to relocate the bus stop adjacent to the road frontage of a different site.
