Glenayr Avenue has been identified as a street with high pedestrian activity. This is due to its close proximity to the beach, close proximity to schools, presence of public transport, mixed commercial and residential area.

The existing conditions along Glenayr Avenue contains some deficiencies regarding pedestrian safety and comfort. These include:

• Non-compliant kerb ramps
• Narrow footpaths
• Trip hazards
• Large crossing distances
• Reduced sight lines at pedestrian crossings and intersections
• Poor lighting

Existing conditions: intersection of Glasgow Street and Glenayr Avenue

This project proposes the following treatments to improve pedestrian safety and the pedestrian experience along Glenayr Avenue:

• Continuous footpaths at intersections. These treatments are proposed to level with the footpath and include garden beds. This will emphasise pedestrian presence in the area, increase sight lines and rectify kerb ramp compliance.
• Replacement of cracked footpaths
• Self-enforcing 40km/h for vehicles – introduction of traffic devices, trees
• Renewal of street lighting

Proposal: intersection of Glasgow Street and Glenayr Avenue
