Have your say about the reinstatement of Bus Stop 4 on Melbourne Street
City of Adelaide has identified Melbourne Street as one of our priority main streets for revitalisation and to support this is developing comprehensive plans including the preparation of the Melbourne Street Master Plan. As part of this process, City of Adelaide has been trialling initiatives that aim to add vibrancy and support activation of Melbourne Street and change perceptions of the street from an arterial route into the city to a precinct destination.
When City of Adelaide commenced the Temporary Footpath Extensions (TFEs) initiative, it was decided to maintain the closure of Bus Stop 4 and establish a TFE in front of Himalayan Kitchen and nearby businesses. Temporary Footpath Extensions increase the space available for pedestrian movement, provide additional outdoor space for nearby businesses to use and improve the amenity of the street through on street greening in planter boxes.
Bus Stop 4 was originally closed as the result of the Botten and Bowser development which saw the development site extend into the traffic lane during construction, which forced the closure of Bus Stop 4.
City of Adelaide is now seeking to reinstate Bus Stop 4 in the city direction.
City of Adelaide has identified 2 options for the reinstatement of Bus Stop 4 in the city direction:
Option 1: Further towards the city approximately 80 metres from its previous location in front of LJR Dance Academy at 99 Melbourne Street
Option 2: Temporarily reinstate it near its original location in front of 75-77 Melbourne Street which is home to Clip Joint Salons, Eye Centre and Himalayan Kitchen
Both options 1 and 2 will be semi-permanent as the exact location of Bus Stop 4 will be reviewed again once the Melbourne Street Master Plan is underway which will see changes to kerb lines and other urban design features which may impact the bus stop design.
For more information about each option View our FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions).
