Cycling Parking Spaces
Scott Przibella (Transport for NSW)
Session: 4
Room: 3710
Format: Discussion
Summary: Idea: We should have more bike spaces
Motivation: Last-minute connectivity is an important aspect to reduce private car use. Public transport should have indoors and outdoors for cycles. Public transport should have dedicated space for cycles. The taxi should also accommodate bikes. The train stations should have dedicated cycle parking areas to motivate people to use public transport.
Conclusions:
Cyclists will park where it is convenient
Bike parking is a key part of station access
A variety of parking options should be considered
Walking, Park on a ride is still important
Pedestrians and Bikers should be separated in almost all instances

The Aesthetics of Public Space
Kelly Saunders (The University of Canberra)
Session: 4
Room: 3240
Format: Discussion
Summary: The aesthetics of public transport facilities have an intangible impact on user comfort and travel experience. However, aesthetics is often overlooked when designing public spaces. One particular aspect is the type of building materials. For instance, one of the Paris train stations has a “cold” style which creates a more stressful atmosphere. Wooden benches were installed around the station to give a warmer perception, improving the general user experience and emotions. This session raises awareness about aesthetic designs and their impacts, especially in public spaces such as train stations and tunnels.
Materials and public safety: less steel more timber; More natural lighting (use of glass materials)
Colours: ecological materials, signs of safety, mental easiness
Shapes: wayfinding
