Florey shops improvements

Stage 1 improvements included:

• Introducing a mix of new short-term parking options
• One additional mobility parking space, increasing the total to three
• A new loading zone in front of the supermarket to improve delivery safety
• New and refreshed line marking, including directional arrows
• Replacement of damaged and missing signs
• New wayfinding signage encouraging use of the rear car park

These changes improved parking availability, safety and traffic clarity at the shops.

Stage 2 improvements included:

• An at-grade pedestrian crossing on Kesteven Steet in front of the medical centre (subject to detailed design and safety assessments). During the tender process, the market offerings in response did not provide for a raised crossing to be delivered as previously foreshadowed and the crossing will be delivered at grade.
• Two pedestrian priority crossings across the driveways.
• Two new streetlights to improve visibility at the new crossing.
• Extending the existing 40km/h school zone beyond the new pedestrian crossing.
• Two new speed cushions on the approach to the pedestrian refuge island on Connah Street, accompanied by age-friendly warning signage, as well as additional speed cushions on Ketseven near the Ratcliffe intersection.
• New seating at the shops.

These changes improved pedestrian safety and accessibility around the shops, particularly near the medical centre and key crossing points.
