Concept option 1: one-way, eastbound

One-way eastbound

One-way eastbound between Nicholson and Brunswick Street.
Streetscaping and footpath extensions
Approximately 600m2 for streetscaping and footpath extensions, including:
New street layout
Wider pedestrian space on the southern side
Improved streetscaping areas and potential new trees
A new pick up and drop off space for visitors

New pick up and drop off space on the northern side of Rose Street near the Fitzroy Street intersection.
Removes 8 parking spaces

8 two-hour parking spaces removed between Nicholson Street and Brunswick Street.

Creates the most opportunity for landscaping, seating and other streetscape improvements
Improves pedestrian safety as vehicles are only expected from one direction
Reduces traffic volumes and simplifies movements at intersections
Removes two-way passing conflicts
Works with the existing westbound only restriction on Leicester Street, only creating a small increase in travel distance within the local area
Helps balance the surrounding network of mostly westbound one-way streets
Some local trips may be less direct and involve additional circulation.

Traffic impacts on Rose Street	Moderate traffic volume reduction of around 35% (65 fewer vehicles per peak hour).
Impact on surrounding streets	Overall, low impact on surrounding streets. Mainly increased westbound traffic on Kerr Street and Leicester Street. Traffic volume changes on individual streets: Leicester Street increased by around 50% (about 30 more vehicles per peak hour) Fitzroy Street increased by around 40% (about 6 more vehicles per peak hour to the north of Rose Street or about 10 more vehicles per peak hour to the south of Rose Street) Spring Street increased by around 20% (up to 12 more vehicles per peak hour) Kerr Street increased by around 20% (up to 50 more vehicles per peak hour)
Impact on local access	Overall, there is a low to moderate impact on local access. Some local trips become slightly less direct. No significant impacts are expected as surrounding streets provide suitable alternative routes.

This is the same as the above document, 'Rose Street shared zone concept option 1, one-way eastbound'. It is another way to view the option.

Concept option 2: one-way, westbound
