LATMS 18 Richmond
Council is undertaking a Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study in Richmond in the area bounded by Church Street, Bridge Road, Burnley Street and Swan Street.
For the purposes of the study, the area is known as LATMS 18. A map of the area study appears below.
The study will look at improvements that could be made to the area to reduce traffic and to improve conditions for pedestrians and cyclists.

Council sought feedback from residents via an online and hard copy survey that expired on 22 March 2012.
Local traffic issues were also discussed at a community meeting held on 15 March, where residents nominated representatives to become members of Traffic Study Group.
Council has undertaken traffic counts in a number of streets within the area and will continue to collect data to address issues raised by the community.
Traffic Study Group
The Traffic Study Group will assist in developing a traffic plan for the area that considers the needs and interests of local residents and businesses.
The Traffic Study Group comprises community representatives, ward councillors, Council officers and consultants from Traffix Group, an external consultancy Council has engaged to assist with the process.
The group will meet three times in April, May and June to identify and prioritise key issues, explore traffic management options, and develop a Draft Traffic Management Plan for community feedback.
Once the community has provided feedback, Council will consider the recommendations of the draft Traffic Management Plan and decide whether or not to adopt it. Council is expected to consider the recommendations in July 2012.
If the plan is adopted, Council will prioritise and schedule the works through its works program.
