Community Responsive Works program - Railway Crescent, Williamstown

Railway Crescent, Williamstown

We are currently in the concept stage of an upcoming project in our community that aims to enhance road safety along Railway Crescent, between Victoria Street and Giffard Street, as part of our Community Responsive Works program.

Over the past few years, we have been dedicated to improving road safety in Williamstown, and the next stage of this initiative focuses on addressing concerns regarding speeding, pedestrian safety, and road safety along Railway Crescent.

The project entails several key enhancements:

  • Installation of bus-friendly raised platform pedestrian crossings to encourage safer pedestrian crossings and reduce vehicle speeds.
  • Kerb outstands at key intersections to improve sight lines.
  • Upgrades to existing pedestrian infrastructure to provide better accessibility for pedestrians and ensure their safety.
  • Line marking adjustments to clearly indicate road user priority and improve overall traffic management.

These improvements are vital for ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all residents and road users in our community. By implementing these measures, we aim to create a safe and slow speed environment for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists alike.

We are reaching out to you to provide feedback on the proposed treatments along the full length of Railway Crescent, Williamstown.

Concept plans can be accessed here(PDF, 2MB).

Your feedback and input are valuable to us, and we encourage you to reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding the project. We are committed to working closely with the community to ensure that these improvements meet the needs and expectations of our residents.

To help us ensure this project targets the issues present, please contact Marlon Senanayake, Traffic and Transport Engineer on 9932 2059 or via email msenanayake@hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au by 9 August 2024.

Following the consultation, we will move to the detailed design stage to reflect community feedback. Following the completion of the final plans, this project will look to be constructed in the upcoming financial year, subject to budget availability.
