The consultant will be responsible for conducting pedestrian counts and analysing pedestrian movement data over a 6 week period. The scope of work includes:

Pedestrian Counts and Dwell Time Analysis

- Perform pedestrian counts at key locations along Queen Street, St Marys, at various times (morning, midday, and evening) and on different days (weekdays, weekends).

- Collect data on dwell times to understand how long pedestrians remain in specific areas.

- Utilise a combination of methods to ensure comprehensive data collection.

Data Analysis and Reporting

- Analyse collected data to identify trends in pedestrian movement and dwell times.

- Provide insights into peak movement periods, high-traffic zones, and areas with extended dwell times.

- Create visual representations (graphs, charts, heat maps) to illustrate pedestrian patterns.

Deliverables

- Data Summaries: Provide summary reports of pedestrian counts and observations.

- Comprehensive Final Report: Submit a detailed report at the end of the three-month period, including data analysis, visual maps, and key findings.

- Recommendations: Include suggestions for optimising pedestrian flow and increasing dwell times to support town centre activations and economic strategies.
