Manly 2015
Update me
Welcome to the "Speak Up Manly!" website focusing on the community discussion about Manly2015. This is your opportunity to engage in an online forum about an exciting concept plan for the future of the Manly CBD. Council would love to hear from you. As the exhibition period runs for a number of months the forum questions will change over time as different issues become 'hot topics' – so come back regularly to tell us what your thoughts are!
Before you begin, it is a good idea to visit the Manly2015 Website to get a good idea of what exactly is being proposed. You can see the concept plans, analyse the traffic issues and read through some Frequently Asked Questions on the dedicated website www.manly2015.com
Once you've had a good look through the website, come back here to take part in the interactive forums below. There are a range of discussion questions being asked so feel free to contribute to as many as you like. Council welcomes all your feedback and your contributions to the Manly2015 vision.

3. Two options for the library site - What's your preference?
Manly2015 has two options for the Manly Library and new multipurpose community spaces within the "triangle site" bounded by Market Lane and Whistler street:
Option 1: Involves adding to and upgrading the existing Library building.
Option 2: involves creating a completely new building on the current library building space.
You can read more about the two options by clicking on the "Library Site" tab on the Manly2015 homepage.
Council is seeking feedback on each of the library and community space options proposed. Which option do you prefer and why ?

4. Has Manly2015 got the balance right?
Manly2015 aims to provide a balance between:
- making the village centre of Manly a more pedestrian friendly area,
- promoting greater use of cycling and public transport, and
- improving parking availability for people arriving and staying by car.
Do you think Manly2015 is successful in striking the balance between these three areas, if so – why? Or if not - why not ?

5. Beachfront Traffic - One Way, Two Way or No Change?
Manly2015 provides for a more 'seamless interface' between the end of the Corso with the Manly Ocean Beach Promenade (see beach terrace description on Manly 2015 website). Manly2015 has two possible options designed to achieve this:
Option A - One way Shared Zone (South Bound Only)
This option is to make traffic a one way 10 KMH shared zone along North to South Steyne between Raglan and Wentworth Streets only (the rest of North and South Steyne outside of the Raglan Street to Wentworth Street section would remain two way with the current 40 KMH limit. The advantage of this option is it

6. Whistler Street "Dog Leg" - one way or leave it how it is?
Under Manly2015, it is proposed that Darley Road becomes one way northbound (The Corso to Wentworth Street) and that Whistler Street becomes one way northbound between The Corso and Raglan Street with a low speed crossing of the new Sydney Road pedestrian zone.
The other alternative is for there to be no change at all to the current arrangements and to leave Whistler street one way from Sydney Road to Raglan Street and two way from Sydney Road to the Corso.
What is your preference and why?
Either option A - convert the Whistler Street / Darley Road dog leg to one way or option "B" - leave it as it is?
