Yass PAMP and Bike Plan
Last modified: September 7, 2005 - 11:10 AM
In 2005 Yass Valley Council engaged the services of Community Development Initiatives Pty Ltd to prepare an integrated Pedestrian Mobility Plan (PAMP) for the township of Yass and a PAMP strategic overview for the villages of Murrumbateman, Bowning, Binalong, Gundaroo and Sutton. The project included a review of the existing Bike Plan for the township of Yass and was funded by the Roads and Traffic Authority and the Motor Accidents Authority
Key aspects of the development of the PAMP and Bike Plan were:
- To facilitate improvements in level of pedestrian access and priority, particularly in areas of pedestrian concentration.
- To reduce pedestrian access severance and enhance safe and convenient crossing opportunities on major roads.
- To facilitate improvements in the level of personal mobility and safety for people with disabilities, older persons, children and other user groups, through the provision of pedestrian infrastructure and facilities which cater to the needs of all pedestrians.
- To ensure pedestrian facilities remain appropriate and relevant to the surrounding land use and pedestrian user groups.
- To link existing and planned road user plans in a coordinated manner, such as maintenance programs.
- To meet obligations under the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act (1992).
- Increase bicycle usage in the Yass Valley Council area.
- Encourage alternative methods of transport.
- Improve community health.
- Provide safer routes for bicycle users.
A number of community consultations were held in each of the towns and villages as part of the development process. This also included individual meetings with representatives of community groups such as the Access Committee, aged care facilities, community centres and schools. In total 54 consultations were held, with 27 group/services and 27 individuals being consulted.
