- Traffic safety at Rosary or Majura schools
- Consideration of motion on light rail
- The North Canberra Community Council notes that page 6 of the Capital Metro Industry Briefing presentation of 15 September shows fifteen light rail stops from Gungahlin Place to Alinga Street, but states “13 stops in total (including termini).”
- The Council also notes that the omission of any one of those fifteen stops will:
- increase total journey times by up to six minutes for residents within walking distance of the omitted stop;
- cut less than one minute from all-stops tram travel times;
- have no impact on express tram travel times; and
- adversely affect the amenity, viability and value of current and future developments within walking distance of the omitted tram stop.
- The Council calls on the ACT Government to commit to:
- building all of the fifteen light rail stops shown in the September Industry Briefing presentation unless there is a business case that clearly demonstrates the advantages of having fewer stops;
- publishing the criteria that it intends to use to determine which stops to retain; and
- conducting public consultation on which stops should be retained.
- Courtyard walls and traffic management
- Draft variation 306 permitted greater use of courtyard walls near property boundaries. Such walls are increasingly being used to address privacy issues relating to poorly managed traffic and parking.
