About The Project
Improvements are being planned for Myer Street (and service roads) in Lakes Entrance. This project will help improve traffic and pedestrian safety by improving intersecting roads and service roads, and informal traffic movements between the service roads and Myer Street grassed medians. The proposed improvements will also address parking issues around Lakes Entrance Primary School and the shortage of pedestrian connections along Myer Street.
Objective and Scope
Safety improvements will focus on Myer Street and service roads between Roadknight Street and Coates Road, including School Street and Lambert Street. Kerb and channel is proposed to be constructed to improve drainage and additional footpath crossings will improve pedestrian safety. It is also proposed that the service roads will be formalised with dedicated entry and exit points between the service roads and Myer Street. The intersections of Lambert Street and School Street will have kerb outstands which will direct traffic to Myer Street instead of the service roads.
In addition, Council will consider turning School Street into a one-way street from Myer Street to Carpenter Street, as it is too narrow for parking on the south side. Lambert Street will also be considered as a one-way street from Carpenter Street to Myer Street with angle parking on the school side, whilst retaining parallel parking on the residential side.
Consultation and Community Engagement
Consultation with Lakes Entrance Primary School has led to the development of the concept plan. Council is now seeking feedback from residents and the local community and invites you to complete the below survey to help inform the development of the detailed design for these upgrades.
Schedule
The start of construction is anticipated to commence 2023-24 (pending grant funding). Council will take a staged approach to construction to reduce disruption as much as possible. We will work closely with businesses, residents, and the appointed contractors to ensure any impact to business is kept to a minimum.
