Urban desin as a poicy

Road and bride inrastructure has a maor inuence on the eistin and uture orm, unction

and character o our cities, towns and viaes, and the natura settins and wider countryside o

which these settements are part. A o this is what urban desin sets out to shape.

As an inrastructure oranisation that buids in urban and rura contets, we need to thin beyond

the pavement o the road to consider the broader environments that are aected by inrastructure

investment. Roads shoud be sensitive to the eistin buit, natura and community environments throuh

which they pass. They shoud contribute to the uture character, unctionin and convenience o adacent

areas, provide an interestin eperience in movement and shoud be sae or a users and the community.

The architectura and andscape quaity o road corridors themseves shoud be visuay peasin.

A o this shoud be sae, sustainabe and cost-eective.

Sensitivity to environments

Roads, brides and reated inrastructure shoud

be in harmony with, and as ar as possibe protect,

the scae and unique quaities o the paces

throuh which they pass and span:

They shoud ft sensitivey into their natura

settins the andorm, andscape, veetation,

natura pattern and ecooy o a pace.

Accessibiity and connectivity

The pannin and desin o roads, brides

and reated inrastructure shoud provide

ood connections and movement options or

communities whose quaity o ie is aected by:

Their proimity to amenities and the time

and eort invoved in trave.

The requency and ease with which they can

cross maor roads.

Pubic domain

Roads, transitways and bicyce and pedestrian paths

shoud be desined as part o the pubic domain:

They are maor visua eements and can add

character to an area.

The presence o veetation contributes to

the uniqueness o a pace, and the reenin

o a corridor.

The retention o views heps defne the scenic

quaity o a road, or a ourney.

The desin quaity o structures and eements

the architecture o the inrastructure

contributes to how a corridor oos and eesand how robust and durabe it is.

They shoud ft sensitivey with the orm and

scae o the buit environment and respond

to the community settin in terms o where

peope meet, visit or recreate, wor or shop,

and the paces that are specia to them.

This responsiveness to environments is aso

reerred to as contet-sensitive desin.

Their connectedness with other communities

and parts o the urban environment.

Ease o access to train stations and bus stops

and how we buses service residentia areas.

How we environments aow or wain

and cycin.

Urban desin is as much concerned with unctionaity

as it is with the quaity o pace.

At the fner, more human scae, roads can unction

as iveabe streets or communities waabe,

andscaped, we it, interestin and sae.

The road corridor may incude art artistic input

to road eements, the use o scupture or the use

o paintin.

Improvements to the pubic domain may etend

beyond the road corridor, such as the main street o a

town where throuh trafc is removed by the buidin

o a town bypass, road coupe or other means.

The quaity o the pubic domain can be adversey

aected by visua cutter, or eampe, poor

pacement and proieration o sins.

The pubic domain shoud be we scaed, attractiveand ft or purpose.

Saety

The consideration o saety appies to a RTA

activities. Thereore promotin saety is intera to

an urban desin approach to road inrastructure:

A desin must compy with enineerin

requirements or saer roads or a road users

the ocation, size and suitabiity o trees and other

veetation must be considered in terms o these.

An urban desin approach to roads and tunnes

can contribute to saer driver behaviour by

avoidin conusion, reducin monotony and

providin visua cues to improve the eibiity o

the road and its speed conditions.

Cost-eectiveness

The RTA needs to spend wisey so that urban

desin obectives are baanced with economic and

transport obectives:

Adoptin an urban desin approach can add vaue

to the community beyond the road corridor.

Once the optima scope and cost parameters

o a proect are areed based on transport,

economic and urban desin actors it is

essentia that urban desin outcomes are

deivered within the aocated proect budet.

Sustainabiity

An urban desin approach shoud aciitate

sustainabe ivin:

By ensurin onevity throuh durabe, reativey

ow maintenance outcomes that transcend the

ashions and styes o the day.

By ensurin that a proect is ft or purpose and

useu or the on term.

By aciitatin ood connections or a transport

modes, reducin the need or car trave, brinincommunities coser toether and supportin

oca business.

Veetation can be used as a saety measure it

can reduce headiht are or cushion the impact

o cars accidentay eavin the road.

Road networ and road corridor pannin shoud

hep avoid uture conicts between busy roads

and busy town centres and between busy roads

and nearby communities.

Desin shoud ensure there is ood passive

surveiance o pedestrians and cycists by other

road users and overooed by nearby residents.

Desins must be abe to be buit and maintained

saey this has particuar reevance to pantin.

The needs o the vision and mobiity impaired

and the edery must be considered in desin.

Urban desin outcomes need not be costy and can

in act hep to desin cost out: minimisin cut and

f; reducin costy and ecessive use o structures

such as retainin was; avoidin unnecessaryand-tae and awward parces o residua and that

then need to be maintained; deterrin vandaism

throuh cever desin and use o robust, durabe

materias; and avoidin the need to mitiate impacts.

Urban desin must consider onoin maintenance.

Urban desin must not be used as a way o

addin eatures to a proect or compensatin

or poor desin.

By appropriatey incorporatin veetation and a

its ecooica benefts into our road corridors.

By protectin heritae, biooica diversity

Urban desin as process

Urban desin invoves creatin inrastructure that is sensitive to its contet, serves communities we

and has a unifed architecture to create an interated enineerin and urban desin product.

This requires that a process or method be oowed. The process must be more than a toen esture.

This section sets out the proect manaement procedures and methodooies to achieve the RTAs

desired urban desin outcomes. This process is incorporated in the ProjectPack andMinorProject systems.

There are many eampes o RTA proects that have oowed this process and achieved successu resuts.

The uppermost considerations in manain urban desin in reation to inrastructure proects are to:

Consider an urban desin methodooy at the eariest staes o a proect. Spea to the RTAs urban desin team or uidance on sma and are proects.

Everythin ese ows rom these two considerations.

The east-west Dean Street axis runs rom Memorial Hill to this

plaza which connects with the Dean Street cable-stay pedestrian

bridge.This design has revitalised the east end o the street.

The north-south linear park in East Albury with a wide,pleasant shared cycle and pedestrian path into town,and strong

architectural connections has revitalised a ormer derelict strip

o land by the railway.

This shows the approach rom the north with the Dean Street

cable-stay pedestrian bridge and old railway station and yards

in view.The terraced retaining walls and noise walls align withthe town grid and complement the station.

Case study one

Contributing to urbanstructure and revitalisation

Hume Freeway Projet, Albury-Wodonga

(South-West Region)

The NSW section o the reeway was planned and

designed adjacent to the rail line through Albury.

As such,it replaces a previously unused and derelict

area with a high speed road and rail corridor that

fts in with the original grid layout o the town.The

through trafc on the bypassed main route through

the town is reduced,creating improved amenity and

opportunities or urban revitalisation.

The motorway set into a cutting protects South Dowling Street

rom noise and visual impacts and allows it to act as a service

road or residents.The road has been retrotted into a pleasantlandscaped street with parking.

Adjoining land and streets,like Bourke Street,have undergone a

renaissance.With trac impacts removed and additional trac

management in place,a better street lie and development

opportunities have occurred.

Case study two

Eastern Distributor,Sydney

The Eastern Distributor motorway provides a link

between the Cahill Expressway at Wooloomooloo and

Southern Cross Drive in Sydney rom the airport. As

well as extensive tunnelling under the city,the motorway

is grade separated through the Moore Park precinct at

Surry Hills and orms a vastly dierent ootprint to the

original engineering design.It leaves the exi sting urban

abric intact.Lowering the motorway in an open cut

reduces noise and visual impacts,ensures continuity o

the street and pedestrian networks and improves the

design and outlook o the surrounding park and housing.

The architecture and landscape o the project has been

designed to complement the area and build upon the

character and quality o the public domain.

Case study six

Incorporating heritage andcultural contexts

Upgrade of Great Western Highway at Leura

The Great Western Highway follows the original

explorers route over the Blue Mountains.The corridor

is tightly constrained following ridgelines and bounded

by steep wooded slopes.By necessity the rail corridor

and the towns of the Blue Mountains are also located

on this ridge. Leura is one of the towns of the Blue

Mountains that attracts many visitors due to its natural

and historic character.Upgrading the highway past

Leura required some innovative design approaches

including a wide landbridge,preserving the ridgeline

and safeguarding the curtilage of the historic ruins of

the Chateau Napier hotel.

cONcEPTPLAN

To help understand the complex three dimensional qualities of the

project and to demonstrate the design thinking to the community,

a model was built illustrating the key aspects of the project.

The historic and attractive mall through Leura extends past therail station and crosses the highway on a landbridge.

The gentle ruins of the o ld hotel Chateau Napier are protected

and provided with an appropriate sandstone boundary adjacent

to the road.With the landscaped roundabout,centred on the

landbridge,this forms an integrated precinct.

The pleasant,sweeping geometry of the underpass continues the ridge line.The design draws a distinction between the new road and the

older town,providing an attractive outcome overall.

Connecting modesand communities

Liverpool to Parramatta Transitway,Bonnyrigg

The Liverpool to Parramatta Transitway is a 31

kilometre bus route with 21 kilometres of dedicatedbus lanes,two park and ridefacilities and 35 bus

stations.It connects a string of suburbs and centresbetween Liverpool and Parramatta providing clean,fast

and safe public transport.The bus station at Bonnyrigg

is situated adjacent to the shopping centre car park.Itis well connected with shared paths to the south and

north,and with a local road connection since local busservices run alongside the transitway.Precincts such as

Bonnyrigg are attracting developer interest focussedaround bus stations.A shared bicycle and pedestrian

path runs along the entire length of the transitway.

cONcEPTPLAN

n

The dedicated transitway has a major bus station at Bonnyrigg

town centre which forms part of a larger station precinct design.

The northbound and southbound bus stops,platforms and

shelters are aligned on either side of a shared path axis

connecting the shopping area to the housing areas,places of

worship and public open space to the west.

Cyclist facilities are provided as well as ramps and steps for easeof access.The bus station is clearly marked with signage and

planting.Robust surface materials have been used.

The Liverpool to Parramatta Transitway provides quick connections from the small shopping and business areas at Bonnyrigg to the larger

facilities at Prairiewood at the next stop and on to Parr amatta.Bus stations have a distinctive architectural design, however transparent

plastic products should in future be used instead of glass to reduce the opportunity for breakage.

Newcastle and Tweed Heads and crosses wide rivers,

skirts valleys, meanders across wide plans and undulates

over ridgelines and hills.It is a vast project and the

constraints o integrating the project earthworks with

the natural topography have produced some lessons in

Responding to natural pattern

Yelgun to chinderah Freeway

The Yelgun to Chinderah Freeway in the Northern

Rivers area o New South Wales was planned and

designed to avoid and minimise impacts on the local

ecology and agricultural land uses.The road ootprint is

minimised as ar as possible with steep cuttings and the

alignment closely skirts the caneelds and woodland on

the edge o the valley. A tunnel under Cudgen Road

was built to preserve the wooded ridge line and habitat

corridors.With these measures the natural landscape

and ecological patterns have been protected,impacts

minimised and a better design outcome produced.

cONcEPTPLAN

n

The sinuous reeway skirts the edge o the caneelds and

woodland,avoiding disruption o the natural vegetation patterns.

The reeway is located in the fatter land, avoiding the

ecologically valuable ridges and woodlands.

The Cudgen Road tunnel allows the wooded ridge line and wildlie corridor to cross the road and extend down to the edge o the Tweed

River.Native planting and seeding is provided to revegetate the edges o the portal. Use o gabion acing is suitable or the natural context.

Bangor Bypass

Bangor Bypass was designed and built to link the existing

high speed arterial across Woronora bridge to Alords

Point Road.In so doing it bypassed the stretch o Menai

Road through Bangor with its busy pedestrian orientated

environment o schools,residential areas and shoppingactivity.Being designated a major arterial,the bypass had

to be designed to accommodate heavy trafc at speeds

up to around 80-90 km/h with appropriate road curves,

setbacks and clear zones.Menai Road,on the other

hand,was no longer required as a major road.Measures

were taken to transorm its appearance to that o a

more local route.Car parking bays were created,the

road was narrowed,ootpat hs were improved and

the landscape enhanced to create a more pleasant

environment conductive to saer driver behaviour.
