Recommendation 12.
Every effort be made to ensure that new design development in bus stops and shelters are reflected in future programs, especially if recurrent costs can be reduced.
Government Response:
ACTION currently has a number of prototype shelters installed in various locations throughout Canberra on a trial basis. it is expected that following these trials a number of the prototype shelters will be introduced once bus routes during 1990-91. The new type of shelters are expected to be 30-9 cheaper to construct than the existing concrete ones. These shelters also have the potential for recurrent savings in terms of cleaning and graffiti removal.
Recommendation 13.
All projects of an identical nature should be listed in the same sub-program.
Government Response:
Accept recommendation.
Recommendation 14.
Before any transport and engineering works are planned or designed, all residents and organisations who will be directly affected by those works should be consulted and, where possible, involved in the decision making process.
Government Response:
It has been the practice of the Government to consult with groups or individuals wherever they are affected by construction proposals. The type of consultation, however, does depend upon the type of work being undertaken eg cycle paths and cycle related facilities would be discussed with Pedal Power ACT Inc. which is acknowledged as the public organisation representing the views of interested cyclists. The Government is of the view that this type of direct consultation is successful and will continue to adopt this approach.
