Brooklyn Road

Brooklyn Road

• Install an improved bike lane up Brooklyn Road replacing the temporary one – at street-level with concrete buffers from the lower Nairn Street intersection to upper Nairn Street (with low rubber speed humps at driveways), and a raised bike lane with a wide kerb up to just past the intersection with Ohiro Road 
• Improve access to Central Park with a new raised zebra crossing on Brooklyn Road near the main entrance
• Install a new raised courtesy crossing towards the bottom of Brooklyn Road near the lower end of Nairn Street
• Install two new raised courtesy crossings across the intersections of Bidwill Street and Washington Avenue
• Install a new pedestrian refuge on Brooklyn Road near Washington Avenue
• Install a new section of footpath on Brooklyn Road just down from Bidwill Street to connect bus stop 6715 with the relocated pedestrian crossing point, and also to connect with the path to Nairn Street Park
• Reinstate a painted median between the traffic lanes where space allows
• Install bus stop by-passes at all uphill bus stops on Brooklyn Road – near the substation opposite the tennis centre, Bidwill Street and Washington Avenue
• Remove the pair of bus stops near the entrance to Central Park (southbound stop 6713 and citybound stop 7713) to improve journey times and to allow for the proposed new pedestrian crossing
• Move the pair of bus stops on Brooklyn Road that are near the top end of Nairn Street (stops 6714 and 7714). Citybound stop 7714 would be relocated about 130m downhill by the Seido Karate building and the southbound stop moved about 50m downhill by the substation
• Install new bus shelters at two citybound stops – stop 7715 between Bidwill Street and Nairn Street, and stop 7714 in its new location by Seido Karate
• Changes to Brooklyn Road/Ohiro Road intersection to improve safety and provide for turning movements including a right-turning bay on Brooklyn Road, altering the curve of Brooklyn Road and laying new kerbs where required.
