Rutland Avenue – One Way Trial

As part of the Rutland Avenue Shared Path project, the Town of Victoria Park is considering converting part of Rutland Avenue into a one-way southbound corridor.

The Town believes converting the section of Rutland Avenue between Midgley Street and Gallipoli Street to one-way will improve project outcomes and expedite delivery of the final section of the Rutland Avenue Shared Path.

By converting Rutland Avenue to one-way, the Town can avoid widening the road to accommodate the new Shared Path, thereby reducing the number of trees that would be lost and eliminating the need to relocate underground services. This will lead to a quicker project delivery, with reduced construction requirements and less loss of vegetation.

Trial information

While there are benefits of converting Rutland to one-way, the Town is aware that one-way streets can push traffic to surrounding roads. Before making any decisions, the Town will be holding a two-week trial to test the impacts that a one-way conversion might have on Rutland Avenue users and see how traffic distributes to surrounding streets.

From 1-14 May, the Town will convert Rutland Avenue (from Midgley Street to Gallipoli Street) to a one-way road heading southbound. Traffic management will be in place from Monday 1 May, allowing vehicles to travel southbound and bicycles to travel northbound.

The trial will not cause any delays in the Rutland Avenue Shared Path Project and it will be carried out while the detailed design of the Shared Path is being progressed.

Feedback

Before, during and after the trial, local residents, Rutland Avenue users, and the wider community are invited to share their thoughts on the proposal to convert Rutland to one-way between Midgley Street and Gallipoli Street.

Feedback can be submitted in a number of ways:

If you have any questions, please contact us on 9311 8111 or [email protected](External link)

Feedback on the proposal is invited until 5pm Sunday 21 May 2023.
