LOCATION - Market Square in Little Malop Street between Moorabool Street and Yarra Street PROJECT NUMBER - 16 Left - The existing condition Above - Proposed streetscape changes to Market Square and the introduction of a bus and taxi interchange in Market Square Right - Position between existing trees for future bus shelters MARKET SQUARE TRANSPORT INTERCHANGE PROJECT RATIONALE The existing bus shelters and stops in Moorabool Street have a negative impact on the key retail street in the Geelong city centre. In addition there is reduced activity in the existing Market Square in Little Malop Street with reduced safety outcomes. This project aims to resolve both of these issues by relocating the bus and taxi stops as an interchange in Market Square. The existing trees, road and kerbs are retained and only the on-street parallel parking is removed. New shelters can be introduced between the existing trees. The street would operate as a one way east-bound street and Project 17 introduces improvements to Moorabool Street to allow for right turn lanes to be introduced to allow bus and taxi access to Little Malop Street. Loading bays for retail outlets at Market Square are retained. SUB-PROJECTS 16A Removal of parking in Little Malop Street and the creation of a one-way street (east-bound). 14B Introduction of bus shelters between existing trees in Market Square. 14C Introduction of bus interchange and taxi rank in Little Malop Street. 14D Removal of bus stops and shelters in Moorabool Street.
