Benefits
The relocation of regional services to the northern section
of the Roy Street extension will allow sufficient space for
buses waiting for passengers.
The proposed waiting area/public plaza will be retained.
More space is available for the development of additional
station buildings, and
The standard junction arrangement allows for pedestrian
crossing to be provided reducing the risk of conflict.
Disbenefits
Provision for Kiss and Ride spaces will not meet the
design criteria unless taxis are marshalled away from
the western end of Bayley Street (West) only during peak
hours, and
Buses turning into Bayley Street (West) from Mercer
Street may be delayed by traffic on Mercer Street.
An additional signalised junction on Mercer Street may also
have an impact on traffic flow.
