Adams Street (north) and Foulkes Street

The issues identified at these locations include:

Lack of footpath for pedestrians and confusion regarding current cycling facility (very short length, no connection to other cycling infrastructure).
Impeded sight distance near Foulkes Street (due to vegetation).
Constrained road width due to parking near corner.

Treatments for consideration:

Full time one-way operation of Adams Street (north) and Foulkes Street. This includes:
- One-way northbound on Adams Street between Gibson Street and Foulkes Street.
- One-way westbound on Foulkes Street between Yarralea Street and Adams Street.
Pavement marking / traffic islands could be implemented to support one-way operation. These traffic islands could comprise of garden beds with planting and/or trees.
Provision of continuous footpath / pedestrian pathway along Adams Street.

Reallocate road space to pedestrians and cyclists (through linemarking) on Adams Street where there are currently no existing facilities.
Provide a safer route for pedestrians and young riders away from Yarralea Street.
Provide simpler traffic flows and reduce weaving between oncoming traffic;
Reduces confusion regarding the existing cycling facility.
Provides narrow points or similar measures to improve compliance with the one-way arrangement.

May be difficult to provide physical separation (drainage, driveways)
Deviation for locals.
As part of this study, we are also suggesting converting the existing part-time one-way operation around Alphington Primary School to a full-time one-way operation. Please refer to the treatment page using this link for more information. It is anticipated that these two treatments when both implemented will provide a complete and safe alternative route for vulnerable road users.
