Outcomes for the Golden Mile Signalled in PBC
Act
• improve the reliability / attractiveness of bus services
• increase capacity of bus service (by enabling increased bus frequency)
• improved pedestrian access
• enhanced amenity (i.e. urban environment, attractiveness)
Information
Each of these outcomes is reflected in the project investment
objectives.

Outputs for the Golden Mile Signalled in PBC
Act
• road space reallocation and increased bus priority
• trial removal of general traffic from the Golden Mile
• improved bus stop layouts that meet modern design standards
• rationalisation of bus stops
Information
• maintain Golden Mile corridor bus capacity in support of a future dual public transport spine
These elements are included in the options
Official to varying degrees.
The extent to which they are included, influences the degree to which the
