A host of improvements are planned for the streetscape and pedestrian infrastructure at a main roundabout in Gisborne, with residents invited to provide feedback to Macedon Ranges council’s plan.
Council has created a streetscape and pedestrian improvement plan for the roundabout at Hamilton and Aitken Streets in Gisborne, which is a key thoroughfare for the town.
Residents can provide feedback to the plan online until Sunday, April 20.
According to the council, the upgrades are designed to align with local priorities – including those outlined in the Gisborne Urban Design Framework and Gisborne Movement Network Study – while adopting an approach that focuses on improving road safety by considering all elements of the road transport system and their interactions.
They include constructing raised crossings on the southern leg – Aitken Street – and the eastern and western legs – Hamilton Street, modifications to the service road entry and exit points, and broad aesthetic and functional improvements to the area, including landscaping and street furniture.
The council is completing initial community consultation for all four stages of the project, with funding through a state government infrastructure program currently covering the first stage – construction of the raised platform on the southern leg and modification of the service road exit point and the raised platform on the western leg.
The future project stages are subject to funding approval.
Online submissions to the plan can be made on the council’s YourSay platform.
