Have your say on proposed Bus Stop Layout Improvements – Stop #9553 McLeod Steet opposite Davis Crescent

Metlink has recently conducted a public consultation on planned improvements to Bus Stop #9553 McLeod Street opposite Davis Crescent’s location in response to safety and visibility concerns raised by the community.

Proposal

Why is this bus stop being improved?

Feedback from the community has highlighted several issues with the current bus stop location. The stop is positioned on the inside of a bend in the road opposite the Davis Crescent intersection, which can make it difficult for approaching bus drivers to see waiting passengers in time to stop safely. This increases the risk of passengers being missed and left behind.

The bus stop is also located across vehicle driveways, which can make it unsafe for buses to stop and may prevent drivers from safely deploying accessibility ramps. This particularly affects passengers with reduced mobility, people travelling with prams, and cyclists.

To address these concerns, we are proposing to relocate the bus stop to a straighter section of McLeod Street. This new location would improve visibility between drivers and waiting passengers, provide a safer space for buses to stop, and make it easier for accessibility ramps to be deployed.

Overall, the change is intended to support a more reliable and accessible bus service.

What is being proposed for Stop #9553?

Shift the bus stop 35 metres south-west to #164 McLeod Street

Install concrete standing pad and new bus stop pole with sign

Below is a site plan of the proposed layout.
