Johns
Road
The
Johns Road scheme plan aims to convert a semi-rural ex-state highway to an
urban arterial road, adjacent to the Northwest Belfast ODP area. Development
in the future will include multiple new road intersections with Johns Road on
the north side.
To
support the future development the following Johns Road changes are proposed:
- New
Crossing island (staggered island) with buildouts about 200m west of Main
North Road. This island links to a pedestrian accessway through to Chrysolite
Place and through to the school site.
- Additional
crossing islands linking existing residential area on the south side of Johns
Road to future development on the north side
- Flush
Median along the length of Johns Road
McLeans
Island 90 degree bend realignment
- Condition
of quarrying consent(s)
- Access
road provides access to the quarries
- Includes
realignment of the curve, including right turning bays and left turn
deceleration lanes.
Styx
Mill Road, Highsted, and Cavendish
This is
a greenfield subdivision in the Upper Styx Outline Development Plan area, of
which many sections are already completed and with resource consent issued
for others.
Scheme
design includes changes to the existing road network including:
- Pedestrian
crossing points (islands) linking new subdivisions to footpaths and
pedestrian accessways, including
o Gardiners Road by
Berryfields
o Island at Highsted/Styx Mill
intersection
o Multiple crossings on Styx
Mill Road
- Progressive
upgrading of Styx Mill Road with road widening, kerb and channel, and
footpath.
Highsted
Road by stormwater facilities
On
Highsted road north of Elsie Lang Lane, as part of works on the stormwater
network the Council will also be working on the culvert and subsequently
upgrading the adjacent road. As this will cross a busier collector road and
will form part of a recreational walking road linking along a green spine in
the ODP, the scheme design includes:
- road
narrowing to reduce crossing distance,
- redirection
of on-road cyclist off-road onto a shared path, and back onto the road after
the narrowing
- raised
platform or similar speed management feature at the narrowing to manage
speeds where pedestrians may be crossing.
