Station Street, Crawford Street, and Bickley Road - Cannington - Urban Road Safety Project

The City of Canning (the City) and Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA) are collaborating on a new road safety initiative, the Low-Cost Urban Road Safety Program (URSP), aimed at reducing the likelihood of crashes on local roads across the metropolitan area.

Low-cost road safety treatments will be applied to specific areas or entire streets to improve the safety of local roads and intersections. Our goal is to reduce crashes and create a safer, more enjoyable environment for our community.

What will this project include?

The following treatments and improvements are planned:

• Raised Safety Platform at the Station Street and Bent Street intersection
• Raised Safety Platform at the Station Street and Garden Street intersection
• Raised Safety Platform at the Station Street and James Street intersection
• Raised Safety Platform at the Morgan Street and Crawford Street intersection
• Raised Safety Platform at the Grey Street and Crawford Street intersection
• Three mid-block platforms along Bickley Road

These treatments are expected to significantly reduce vehicle speeds and crashes, with additional benefits for local amenity.

The primary treatment selection criteria and principles for the URSP include:

• Applying Safe Systems Principles
• Reducing high-casualty and high-risk crashes on local streets
• Proactively reducing vehicle speeds
• Considering activity generators and land use
• Implementing low-cost treatments on an area-wide or whole-street basis
• Maintaining movement for all road users

How will this impact you?

Construction of these treatments is tentatively scheduled for March 2025. Upon completion of the works, the City will apply to MRWA for the installation of new permanent road signs and line markings. MRWA can take approximately two months to install these, so the City will implement interim road signs and line markings.

To facilitate the delivery and construction of this project, temporary traffic management measures will be in place, including lane closures and short-term road closures. Specific details about any immediate impacts and disruptions will be communicated directly to affected businesses, residents, and property owners via a separate notification letter.

Additionally, parking on the streets will be limited and may be redistributed to surrounding streets. We understand that this work may disrupt the local community and could lead to some traffic delays. However, we will make every effort to communicate any disruptions and appreciate your patience.

The City welcomes any enquiries or feedback you may have throughout the roadworks and the delivery of this project.
