Future designs for East Road must have protected cycleways. The median should be removed, the carriageway shrunk, and good footways and separate, protected cycleways should be installed on either side. Crossings should be in a single-stage, with no islands nor guard-rail.
East Road here is one of the widest roads in the entire city yet your proposal lacks protected cycleways. There is no cycling provision shown on this cross-section at all. This is unacceptable. Also, the centre median serves no purpose except to annoy people walking across the street by forcing them to wait in a penned in area. The proposal for East Road should eliminate the central median, greatly shrink the carriageway, use that regained space for properly designed protected and segregated cycleways with trees and verges protecting people from motor vehicles. Crossings of East Road should be made in a single stage: no islands nor guardrail.

We support the integrated approach to public realm on East Road with additional tree plantings, alongside protected cycleways with separation of motor traffic from people cycling, and a separate footway for people walking.

We support the reduction in carriageway width on East Road. Our only objection is that some of that space should be used for creating protected cycleways, and that principle needs to be noted in this paragraph.

This diagram does not show space for safe and inclusive cycling. There should be protected cycleways on both sides of the road so that people cycling are separate from motor traffic. The central median should be removed and the carriageway narrowed. The crossing of the road should be in a single stage and straight across. No staggered crossings and no guard rail. Instead of trees in the median the trees should be planted between the carriageway and the cycleways.

We are concerned that some of the service areas labeled `redundant' are in fact necessary because Burleigh Street is not wide enough to take over that functionality safely.
