However, can also include need to minimise the impact on parking and the need to provide for active travel and public transport facilities.
(2) A request for tender for the design for a zebra crossing on Abena Street is expected to be released in November 2019. It is anticipated that construction will occur before the end of June 2020.
(3) (a) An assessment against the numerical warrant criteria as documented in national standards and guidelines was undertaken in May 2019.
