Proposed Changes

• During CRL early works construction it is important

current and forecast future demands on the roading network can be supported, so that the city does not come to a

• standstill. To achieve this, a mode shift towards the use of

bus, trains, ferries and active transport (walking and cycling) is needed. This includes a range of bus priority measures (buses carry the largest percentage of public transport customers in Ak)

• 24/7 Bus priority lanes (improved amenity – reliability, punctuality

for customers)

• Bus route diversions
• Future planning – the majority of the proposed bus lanes will

remain in place after the CRL early works are completed

Transport - Conclusions

• There is an established way of approach transport

appraisal based on straight line growth forecasts and values of time with fixed population and employment patterns, but it is not clear that it reflects what actually happens

• In reality transport drives land use patterns just as

much as land use drives transport demand
