Key Information

We invite you to give feedback about the proposed design for Martins Avenue and Ocean Street (intersection).

Concerns of residents about this location:

  • General safety and movement for pedestrians, bike riders and vehicles
  • High volumes of vehicular traffic
  • Vehicle speed negotiating the intersection

Proposed design and traffic calming:

  • Removal of existing pedestrian refuge island, kerb ramps and speed hump
  • Construction of a raised intersection treatment with garden beds and feature tree
  • Modification of traffic flow on Martins Avenue to left only at Ocean Street with a modal filter for bike users to continue west along Martins Avenue
  • New median island and “No U-turn” sign in Ocean Street
  • New reinforced concrete footpath pavement
  • One additional street parking space. Further design refinements to improve cyclist safety through the intersection have changed the on-street parking arrangement.
