Ovens Street Pedestrian Improvements
Tender Overview
About this tender
Rural City of Wangaratta (RCoW) is seeking a suitably qualified contractor to deliver pedestrian improvements on Ovens Street, Wangaratta. RCoW has been successful in receiving funding through the Safe Local Roads and Streets Program (SLRSP) to deliver safety improvements for pedestrians. The project aims to treat the length of Ovens Street between Cusack Street and Ford/Docker Street to reduce traffic speeds and improve safety, especially for pedestrians. Two wombat crossings are proposed at both ends of the project length. The crossings will be supported by a median and kerb outstands, to produce a 'road diet' and further encourage lower speeds along the project length. The school crossing outside St Patricks Primary School will be upgraded with kerb outstands.
