Here you can see the proposed alignment for Oceana Drive and typical cross sections - one clarification to the cross sections is that many homes will be set well back from Oceana rather than close to the property line as shown. We realise that the Structure Plan may modify the proposed Oceana Drive alignment.
The cross sections provide:
- Footpaths at the property line for added pedestrian safety
- Bioswale nature strips with large canopy native trees that will shade both the footpaths and the bicycle lanes
- Bicycle lanes in each direction
- Parking lanes that provide convenience for residents and visitors, as well as added protection for cyclists and pedestrians. Parking of large vehicles and caravans will be prohibited for visual safety reasons
- We propose wet utilities (sewer and water) in the parking or bike lanes rather than in the nature strip where maintenance inhibits the growth of large stately trees
- We propose dry utilities, electric and telecommunications in the rear lanes for convenience and to rid the beautiful streetscape of ugly above ground cabinets, etc.
We know the importance of eliminating driveways to sub-arterial roads and there will be none on Oceana Drive.
