4. The Derrimut Road Boulevard
A Boulevard to integrate transport and development and connect the central parts of Wyndham.
Derrimut Road is the main north-south city axis route through Wyndham. Designated as an arterial road it caters for four lanes of traffic (two lanes each way) with a central median strip (part of which is treed) and intermittent service road access.
Derrimut Road connects the proposed Tarneit Major Activity Centre (with the already constructed Tarneit Train Station and bus interchange) to the north, the large regional shopping complex known as Pacific Werribee Plaza at the junction with Heaths Road and the East Werribee NEIC/City Heart to the south approximately 7km away. Derrimut Road is also home to significant Council infrastructure in the form of the Aqua-pulse Aquatic Centre, Encore Events Centre and Hoppers Crossing Youth Resource Centre.
The Derrimut Road Boulevard will become the main north-south road connection to the City tree-lined boulevard serviced by light rail, a trackless tram service or by designating part of the road reserve for a dedicated Bus Rapid Transit service (BRT). If a BRT service was provided, even as a short term option, this form of service could be extended to cover the wider urban area of Wyndham where the road configuration can support such a service at a local level and also accommodate cars.

The trackless tram would be fantastic, esp. with the Derrimut station. Lots of schools on Derrimut, students using PT instead of drop off

I like the idea of the "Trackless Tram". The main one down Derrimut Road could be added to with T Trams on the major perpendicular roads

More congestion!

Please do not service the area with transport that use overhead lines i.e. light rail. They are unsightly and will make the area look worse.

While light rail sounds nice , Heaths road would be better choice , closer to Hoppers station , Hospital and the many Geelong rd Businesses.

I like the idea, but the trees being included are the biggest appeal. Big trees, lots of shade and greenery. Need more space for feedback
