17.3. Notice of Motion - Proposed additional signalised interesection on Springfield Greenbank Arterial Road
Resolution: Moved by Councillor Paul Tully:
17.3
Notice of Motion - Proposed additional signalised interesection on Springfield Greenbank Arterial Road
Moved by Councillor Paul Tully:
Seconded by Deputy Mayor Nicole Jonic:
That, having regard to the relevant Mayoral Briefing Note dated 21 January 2022 and endorsed by the Chief Executive Officer on 31 January 2022, Council formally resolves not to support a proposed additional signalised intersection on Springfield Greenbank Arterial (SGA) between Eden Station Drive and the Brisbane to Springfield Central Railway Line Overpass at Springfield Central for the following reasons:
(a) The proposed intersection does not comply with Council’s standards and industry guidelines which identify a 400-metre minimum spacing on arterial roads such as SGA, to maintain efficient traffic movements;
(b) The Master Area Development Plan (MADP) and Area Development Plan (ADP) for the area that includes the Springfield Central Stadium site (Development Area 22A) state that “A ‘green bridge’ providing pedestrian and public transport access from Springfield Greenbank Arterial to Springfield Central railway station may be considered in the future subject to construction funding being sourced and an appropriate left in/left out intersection configuration being designed (on the SGA) such that major roads are not impacted upon.” As such, the proposed signalised intersection would not accord with current development master planning or development approvals;
(c) The location of the proposed intersection would result in a spacing of approximately 300m to the existing Eden Station Drive intersection to the north and approximately 110m to the TMR multi-storey car park access intersection to the south, currently under construction;
(d) The limited intersection separation would significantly impact on the efficiency and capacity of Council’s arterial road network, which is likely to result in significant additional congestion and delays for motorists and increased requests and pressure on Council for future additional upgrades;
(e) Traffic signal coordination alone would not manage the expected impacts to Council Road network;
(f) The intersection would be located on a curve immediately north of the Springfield Central rail line overpass, significantly restricting available sight distance for approaching vehicles and pedestrians (below acceptable standards), resulting in both safety and operational issues;
(g) The pathway on the eastern side of the SGA would need to be widened significantly to facilitate an appropriate connection between the TMR multi-storey carpark and the proposed signalised intersection, impacting upon the Centenary Motorway overpass eastern abutment and possibly on the Springfield Central rail line overpass eastern abutment;
(h) The existing guardrail required to protect the columns for the Springfield Central rail line overpass bridge with the SGA centre median island would need to be removed, increasing the risk of vehicle impacts and damage to the bridge structure;
(i) Given the limited number of car parks that will remain in the QR car park on the western side of the SGA, it is not necessary or appropriate to introduce an additional sub-standard intersection onto Council’s arterial road network to service the car park;
(j) The existing signalised intersection of Eden Station Drive and the SGA facilitates satisfactory pedestrian access from Springfield Anglican College across the SGA to the Springfield Central railway station;
(k) Pedestrian connection between Springfield Anglican College and the requested additional signalised intersection would be difficult given the grade difference at this location;
(l) The signalised exit from the TMR multi-storey car park will facilitate pedestrian access across the SGA to Springfield Central rail station, with Council’s SGA upgrade to include a widened shared use pathway within the western verge; and
(m) Given the advanced state of the Council’s detailed design for the SGA upgrade, it is anticipated that the inclusion of the additional signalised intersection would impact both the delivery time and project cost, with significant redesign (including utility service relocation plans) likely to be required.
