• Local access and movement changes

  To keep all road users safe while making Fifteenth Avenue easier to use, there will need to be changes to accessing and moving around the local area. The changes will affect the way vehicles currently turn in and out of local streets and private driveways. Some roads intersecting with Fifteenth Avenue will have traffic lights. There will also be safety improvements for people crossing the road, riding bikes or catching public transport.

  The proposed changes include:

  Vehicles will only be able to turn left into and turn left out of driveways along Fifteenth Avenue, due to the centre median.
