1 DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK Advantages and Disadvantages Whilst PTAL is a simple calculation (easily performed by a spreadsheet) that offers an obvious indication of the density of public transport provision in an area, it suffers two key problems: It does not take into account where services actually go to for example, a bus that runs every 10 minutes to the bottom of the road is considered better than a bus that runs every twelve minutes to the city centre. The use of arbitrary cut-offs to exclude more distant service access point s underestimates the ability to access locations just outside those cut-off distances. For example, a point 960m from King s Cross Station (a major public transport station) could have a PTAL of 6, whilst a point 961m from the same station could have a PTAL of 1 or 2. Accessibility modelling has been proposed as a solution to these problems. It uses GIS to calculate door-to-door travel times by public transport to a grid of points around the point of interest, resulting in a set of isochrones journey time contours within which the number of workplaces, households or residents can be calculated using census data. This method takes into account many more factors than PTAL, however is much more time-consuming and requires expensive software Other Similar Models Applied Internationally Land Use and Public Transport Accessibility Index State of Queensland, Australia 19 Queensland Transport has been developing an innovative planning tool that assists planners, policy makers and development assessors make decisions about future growth and transport. Called the Land Use and Public Transport Accessibility Index (LUPTAI), the planning tool measures how easy it is to access health, education, banking, shopping and employment through walking or public transport, within a specific geographic area. The concept of 'accessibility' has become increasingly important to transport planning in recent years. It takes into account people's opportunities to reach commonly used services. Successful consideration of accessibility, therefore, could result in reduced car use and contribute to a more sustainable transport system. The tool uses Geographical Information System (GIS) software to generate a map that gives a visual representation of the opportunity to reach destinations through public transport, walking or a combination of both. A five-colour scale shows the level of access for any given area. Data sets about the locations of services are entered into the system, which produces a map that highlights areas of None, Poor, Low, Medium or High accessibility. 19 The State of Queensland (Queensland Transport)
2 DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK The State of Queensland LUPTAI will assist planners and decision-makers at the state and local level to: determine where to focus urban growth maximise land use and transport integration assess large scale developments assist in writing policy, and establish funding priorities. Users will be able to visualise the impact their projects will have on achieving accessible communities. LUPTAI is an ideal way to aid decisions about targeting population densities. Contrasting the traditional method of measuring accessibility by road distance, it is the first of its kind to consider public transport as a means of access, rather than a facility to be accessed. LUPTAI is being piloted through a number of applications and is being developed to become "leading edge" new technology. 2.4 Precinct Roads Masterplan The requirements as set out in the previous paragraphs emphasize the urgent need for the development of a roads masterplan for the Marlboro GRRL precinct area. A comprehensive roads master plan for the Marlboro area should be developed within the framework as provided by this document. The roads masterplan will be used with the development of a traffic impact assessment as well as with the development of a travel plan. It must protect the existing and future function of each road and should span the entire road reserve to include all modes. It should highlight the areas where upgrades are required and where restrictions should be imposed. The plan should be developed in the context of existing zoning and land-use as well as future zoning and land-use. The City s functional road hierarchy should also serve as primary input although it may be revised as part of the masterplan development process. The masterplan should furthermore take cognisance of the park and ride sites, the estimated carrying capacity of all modes (spare capacity), pedestrian walking contours, access management strategies, planned road upgrades and planned public transport upgrades. The Gauteng Policy for Traffic Impact Assessments as discussed in section 0, does allow for a prospective developer to undertake such a study on behalf of the municipality in its absence. The fees for this study would be deductible from the developer s bulk contribution. It is therefore prudent that the City takes control of this process pro-actively, before development pressures catch up on this requirement. 95
3 DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2.5 Bulk contributions Purpose and Basic Content The purpose of the bulk contribution policy is to define responsibilities with regard to the provision of municipal road infrastructure required by developments in Gauteng Province. The policy will serve as an interim policy until such time the planned Gauteng Planning and Development Act and Regulations are promulgated and a final policy adopted. For the purpose of this UDF, some important elements of the interim policy are: Responsibilities are defined with regard to the provision of municipal road infrastructure required by developments; The person or body making an application, is responsible for the provision and installation of internal roads and to contribute to the cost of external roads (the definitions of which are defined in the Interim Policy); Engineering service contributions must be equitable and fair to both new entrants and existing residents; The full cost of roads required to accommodate developments, must be recovered by means of engineering service contributions. A municipality may allow rebates to applicants as incentives for the promotion of development objectives; The municipality shall, where possible and practical, allow the applicant to make an offer to provide and install external road infrastructure in lieu of monetary contributions, either partially or fully; Contributions to external roads shall first be used for payment of land provided by the applicant for external roads and secondly for improving external road infrastructure to the extent deemed necessary by the municipality to accommodate the development; The municipality will establish a road contributions account; If a development is located near the boundary of a municipality, the engineering service contribution will be divided between the adjacent municipalities. The contributions to external roads consist of two components, namely a basic external road contributions and a boundary road component. Parameters for the calculation of the calculation of engineering service contributions will be provided in the Data Manual for Engineering Service Contributions and Traffic Impact Assessments in Gauteng. The municipality will also annually publish costing rate parameters. 20 Draft Interim Policy for Engineering Service Contributions to Municipal Road Infrastructure in Gauteng, Gauteng Transport Co-ordination Committee (TCC), May
4 DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK Relevance to Transportation UDF The proposed methodology, as prescribed by the Bulk Contributions Policy document should be adhered to and adopted by the City as a matter of priority. The policy ties in with the aforementioned new Policy on the development of Traffic Impact Investigations for Gauteng. The adoption and application of this methodology should eliminate many ambiguities and uncertainties that exist with the application and charging of bulk contributions. Where particular leverage exists within the Bulk Contribution Interim Policy, is in the allowance for rebates by the municipality to promote development objectives. The development of traffic assessments and travel plans as discussed in this transportation UDF, provides the prospective developers in the Marlboro GRRL precinct area with the ability to negotiate for such rebates, based on the content of this framework document (as provided in sections 0, 0, 0, 0 and Error! Reference source not found.). Basic external road contributions will be calculated based on vehicle kilometres per hour (capacity component) as well as vehicle E80 axle-kilometres per day (strength component). Both of these aspects will be affected directly through the application of the principles as suggested in this framework document. Over and above this direct saving, further rebates may be affected by the City in favour of a demonstrated approach towards measures to reduce vehicle trips, as suggested by the development of a Travel Plan (section Error! Reference source not found.). This rebate may also be applied to the boundary road contribution which, in terms of its calculation methodology, will not have a direct saving component as a result of reduced trips. Many innovative incentive schemes are used abroad and good examples (best practice) exist of these methodologies. Many of these initiatives have successfully managed to encourage the private sector (on a large scale) to partake actively in the management of congestion on public roadways. They strive towards the creation of public-private partnerships have been sited as one of the key ingredients required for the sustainability of the transportation system in the City. 97
5 PART 6 IMPLEMENTATION The management of nodes and the development that occur within them is vital for a City. The following are important issues that will need to be managed: Monitoring and management of nodes to prevent an oversupply. The design approach should focus on integrating various parts of the node in one cohesive whole, as well as integrating the node within its surrounding environment through adequate pedestrian linkages. Maintain the public environment and infrastructural services up to such a standard that the maturity of the node could be maintained. Monitoring should consequently take place to identify and rectify any problems as soon as they occur. Infrastructure and services sufficiently support the needs of the node and can be upgraded as intensification of the node occurs. Manage as a cohesive entity not separate properties. Implement a focused programme to upgrade and maintain the public environment at the highest levels. Align management interventions with the RUMP process in the regions. The design codes that will follow are but one management element that should be put into place. 98
6 6.1 Management Guidelines: Transportation Although good information is available for the Marlboro precinct, development will be guided by market forces and the exact make-up of the development environment may change from what is currently foreseen. The defining elements are therefore provided within a theoretical framework that relates to the class of road on which it should be implemented. This enables planners and officials to apply the logic and recommended design code contained in this chapter, beyond the boundaries of this report. 105
7 Class 2 Road CLASS 2 ROAD SELECTED ROADWAY ELEMENT DESIGN CODES FOR MARLBORO PRECINCT Development Cell Circulation Description: Primary arterial routes providing vehicular mobility with limited offstreet access. These roads serve a global / city wide mobility function connecting places of importance throughout the city. These roads are generally forming the ring roads around precincts providing external circulation but do not traverse the precinct itself. Street Classification: Road Hierarchy Oxford Drive Jan Smuts Drive Bolton Road Characteristics: 1. Speed: km/h 2. Vehicle volumes: veh/hr 3. Geometry: Dual carriageway (median separated).
