The document summarizes the functions and goals of regional development commissions in Western Australia, including maximizing job creation and improving economic opportunities. It outlines the Royalties for Regions program which returns 25% of mining royalties to regional projects. It then describes the PortLink initiative which aims to link ports and infrastructure across WA through strategic corridors to improve freight efficiency. Key priority projects under PortLink include upgrading the Esperance port access corridor and connecting rail infrastructure.
The document discusses the economic impacts of transportation projects and developments. It provides several case studies showing how new roads, rail lines, and tram systems have created jobs by improving accessibility and boosting development. One case study found a new tram system in Croydon, UK dramatically raised the city's profile, attracted investors, and replaced marginal retailers with higher profile stores. In general, the document argues that improving transport infrastructure can drive economic growth by facilitating development, jobs, and regeneration, especially on formerly unused brownfield lands.
The document discusses potential locations for a second bridge over the River Severn in the UK. It provides details on four potential sites: Clevedon to Cardiff (Site A), Avonmouth to Severn Beach (Site B), Chepstow to Beachley (Site C), and Aust to Pilning (Site D). For each site, it discusses factors like span length, available labor, training programs, government grants, and opinions from local officials. The document aims to provide students with background information to inform a business simulation where they will select a site, build the bridge, and consider costs and traffic to evaluate the business feasibility of the different options.

1. The document discusses north-south rail connections between the North of England and London. It notes the importance of these links to northern productivity and the need for additional capacity as demand grows.
2. Current rail lines linking the north and south are approaching capacity, risking squeezing out important business traffic. Additional capacity may be needed if demand exceeds forecasts.
3. A long-term strategy is needed to address both east and west sides of the Pennines to London, and could include new high-speed lines or upgrading existing lines. A trans-Pennine connector could also provide benefits.

1604 Syd City Centre COMMUNITY UPDATE project update_FINALCandice Spiroski
Roads and Maritime Services is upgrading road infrastructure in Sydney's CBD to improve transport services. This includes completing separated cycleways on Castlereagh and Liverpool streets, upgrading intersections for buses, and adjusting roads and intersections across the CBD as part of the Sydney City Centre Access Strategy to improve traffic flow. Work involves resurfacing roads, replacing poles, upgrading intersections and will continue over the next year with impacts minimized through measures such as night work and noise enclosures.
The document provides information about BIGHERTSBIGIDEAS (BHBI), a transport initiative in southwest Hertfordshire. In 3 sentences:
BHBI aims to improve sustainable transport options for businesses, employees and residents through funding various measures. An event was held in October to discuss active travel benefits which was attended by over 20 organizations. The programs funded by the Local Sustainable Transport Fund were outlined, including new buses, routes, infrastructure, and an engagement program involving over 30 large companies in the area.
People are taking control.
They’re tuning out messages that are impersonal and interruptive and using Google to help make their next decision instead of speaking to you or your team.
What's more, they’re independently minded and highly connected.
If you really want to influence decisions, you need an approach that reaches and persuades the individual.
The document discusses transport challenges and priorities for east and south east London. It notes that London's population is growing rapidly and will require major investments in transport infrastructure to support the growth. This includes projects like Crossrail, upgrades to the DLR and Overground networks, and new river crossings like the planned Silvertown Tunnel to alleviate congestion and improve connectivity. Future transport priorities could involve extending the Bakerloo line, further DLR extensions, and new river crossings like Gallions Reach and Belvedere to connect communities across the Thames. Major funding and approvals will be required to transform London's transport network and accommodate the rising population.

Official opening 7 July 2016
2. Why was this major
improvement needed?
The A1 between Coal House and Metro Centre
is approximately 4 miles long and forms part of
the A1 Gateshead western bypass. In 2011 the
average weekday traffic flow on this section was
over 116,000 vehicles, which is more than double
its original design capacity. Therefore, very heavy
congestion occurs daily in both directions, which
affects local people commuting, shopping and
using local access routes, as well as longer
north/south trips for people using the A1.
How will the scheme
benefit the north?
The government and local partners, including
Gateshead and Newcastle councils and the
North East Local Enterprise Partnership,
recognise the importance of the A1 western
bypass to the economic aspirations of the
region. The Coal House to Metro Centre
improvement aims to:
Increase capacity
Improve journey time reliability
Reduce the number of accidents
Support local regeneration
How was the
improvement work
carried out?
We’ve invested £61 million to improve
the A1 between junction 67 at Coal
House and junction 71 at Metro Centre,
and work began in August 2014.
3. As well as widening the A1, a new 0.33 mile
parallel link road has been built next to the mainline
A1 for north and southbound traffic between Lobley
Hill and Gateshead Quays, helping local traffic
access the surrounding road network more easily.
A new footbridge has been installed at Chiltern
Gardens, replacing the old concrete bridge with
a new steel structure suitable for cyclists as well
as pedestrians. The footpath on the eastern side
of the footbridge has been upgraded to a joint
footpath and cycleway and linked to the existing
cycle network.

Delivering
government
investment in strategic
roads across the north
Highways England is delivering a huge amount of government
investment in strategic roads across the north, placing us at the
forefront of the Northern Powerhouse. In December 2014 the
government announced £2.9 billion of investment across the north
between 2015 and 2020 to support our strategic outcomes. As well
as supporting economic growth, this includes improving safety,
accessibility, environmental impacts and journey reliability.
We recognise that excellent connectivity across the north is essential
if the potential of northern growth is to be realised. We’re playing
a critical role by transforming connections between cities and
towns in the north; enabling them to increase their productivity.
We’re providing better, more free-flowing links, from the north to the
midlands, Scotland and London.

7. Working in partnership
Importantly, we’re committed to working
in close partnership with Transport for the
North and other key partners to meet joint
objectives around reducing congestion,
improving access, capacity and safety.
Together, we aim to establish the north as
a global powerhouse.
We’re delivering England’s largest
road investment programme for
a generation. The northern road
network will see huge modernisation
through the construction of new link
roads, improved junctions and smarter
technology to keep traffic moving.
Through this investment people and
businesses will be better connected
both within the north and with the
rest of the country. We’ve already
started planning for the next phase
of investment beyond 2020 and we’re
committed to working closely with partner
organisations to ensure that the very best
investment decisions are made.

A1 Coal House to Metro Centre
What we’ve done
4 miles of 3 lane carriageway along one of the busiest sections of carriageway on the
strategic road network.
11. Before improvement work started
High volumes of traffic and closely spaced junctions caused queues on the main
carriageway, particularly at peak time. This affected local people commuting, shopping
and accessing local routes as well as longer north/south trips.
The average weekday flow on this section was over 116,000 vehicles, which is
more than double its design capacity. This caused heavy congestion resulting in
stationary or slow moving traffic.
In December 2012 the scheme was announced in the autumn statement and work
began on the design in April 2013.
Two public exhibitions were held as the scheme developed to keep the public
informed of progress and to give them an opportunity to speak to the project team
about any concerns they may have.
Work started in August 2014 following the award of the contract to locally based
contractor, Balfour Beatty Ltd.
