Local Traffic Committee Meeting

 

THURSDAY 7 JULY 2016

 

10:00am

 

 


Function of the Local Traffic Committee

Background

Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) is legislated as the Authority responsible for the control of traffic on all NSW Roads. The RMS has delegated certain aspects of the control of traffic on local roads to councils. To exercise this delegation, councils must establish a local traffic committee and obtain the advice of the RMS and Police. The Inner West Council Local Traffic Committee has been constituted by Council as a result of the delegation granted by the RMS pursuant to Section 50 of the Transport Administration Act 1988.

 

Role of the Committee

The Local Traffic Committee is primarily a technical review and advisory committee which considers the technical merits of proposals and ensures that current technical guidelines are considered. It provides recommendations to Council on traffic and parking control matters and on the provision of traffic control facilities and prescribed traffic control devices for which Council has delegated authority. These matters are dealt with under Part A of the agenda and require Council to consider exercising its delegation.

In addition to its formal role as the Local Traffic Committee, the Committee may also be requested to provide informal traffic engineering advice on traffic matters not requiring Council to exercise its delegated function at that point in time, for example, advice to Council’s Development Assessment Section on traffic generating developments. These matters are dealt with under Part C of the agenda and are for information or advice only and do not require Council to exercise its delegation.

 

Committee Delegations

The Local Traffic Committee has no decision-making powers. The Council must refer all traffic related matters to the Local Traffic Committee prior to exercising its delegated functions. Matters related to State Roads or functions that have not been delegated to Council must be referred directly to the RMS or relevant organisation.

The Committee provides recommendations to Council. Should Council wish to act contrary to the advice of the Committee or if that advice is not supported unanimously by the Committee members, then the Police or RMS have an opportunity to appeal to the Regional Traffic Committee.

 

Committee Membership & Voting

Formal voting membership comprises the following:

·            one representative of Council as nominated by Council;

·            one representative of the NSW Police from each Local Area Command (LAC) within the LGA, being Newtown, Marrickville, Leichhardt and Ashfield LAC’s.

·            one representative from the RMS;  and

·            State Members of Parliament (MP) for the electorates of Summer Hill, Newtown, Heffron, Canterbury, Strathfield and Balmain or their nominees.

 

Where the Council area is represented by more than one MP or covered by more than one Police LAC, representatives are only permitted to vote on matters which effect their electorate or LAC.

Informal (non-voting) advisors from within Council or external authorities may also attend Committee meetings to provide expert advice.

 

Committee Chair

Council’s representative will chair the meetings.

 

Public Participation

Members of the public or other stakeholders may address the Committee on agenda items to be considered by the Committee. The format and number of presentations is at the discretion of the Chairperson and is generally limited to 3 minutes per speaker. Committee debate on agenda items is not open to the public.

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

7 July 2016

 

Item No:         T0716 Item 1

Subject:         Proposed Traffic Calming - Revised Design Plans Ness Avenue Dulwich Hill
(Ashfield Ward/Summer Hill)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/72461.16        

Prepared By: Snezana Bakovic - Project Engineer Traffic, Marrickville 

Authorised By: Wal Petschler - Manager Design and Investigation, Marrickville

 

SUMMARY

Since early 2015, Council has been developing a 10-year plan commencing in the Dulwich Hill area which is recommending a series of integrated projects which have been included in the capital works program. The plan is known as ‘Tomorrow’s Dulwich Hill’.

Design plans have now been finalised for the Ness Avenue - Traffic Calming proposal as part of the Tomorrow’s Dulwich Hill 10-year plan.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT the design for Ness Avenue, Dulwich Hill - 90 degrees angle parking, a one-way slow point and associated signage and line markings (ATTACHMENT 1 - design plans No 6050) be APPROVED.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

This proposal is a revised design of an initial design which was considered by Pedestrian, Cyclist & Traffic Calming Advisory Committee in April 2016 and Council in May 2016.

At this meeting, the residents who addressed the Committee raised the following issues:

The residents stated that:

(1)   Their preferred treatment to slow traffic in Ness Avenue is for the installation of a traffic island in the middle of Ness Avenue and kerb blisters at the corner of Ness Avenue and Tennyson Street. They noted that this treatment was endorsed by Council as part of the 2010 Dulwich Hill LATM review but was not implemented.

(2)   They do not support the implementation of 90 degree parking as the narrowing in the street means that residents would have to drive head first into their garages and reverse into the street. The residents stated that safely reversing onto the road is difficult due to the trees planted in the street which limits the ability for drivers to see vehicles and cyclists approaching. They further stated that difficulties reversing out of garages are compounded by the road which slopes towards the gutter and requires drivers to accelerate quickly onto the road to compensate.

(3)   They do not wish to remove the existing trees on Ness Avenue; however they would like Council to better protect the trees from parked cars by improving the soil and drainage. They further stated that utilities and Council contractors prune the street trees without consideration given to the overall growth and appearance of the trees and would like Council to manage this better.

(4)   The area is well serviced by public transport and it is not necessary to increase    parking through the implementation of 90 degree angle parking.

 

Council at its meeting in May resolved that:

“Council investigates implementation of angle parking from No.29 Ness Avenue through to the regulation ten metres from Garnett St intersection to create additional parking spaces”.

 

Design plans have been finalized for the proposed devices and are presented in this report for consideration.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Funding of approximately $15,000 is available for the proposed works as part of Council’s 2015/16 Capital Works budget. However, the detail design estimate is $ 43,521.A report will be provided separately regarding the adjustment

 

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

The amended design plan has considered feedback from residents at the previous PCTC meeting and Council’s resolution on the initial design.

The design plans have been prepared to slow down traffic, increase parking and improve safety along Ness Avenue, Dulwich Hill as part of the the Tomorrow’s Dulwich Hill 10-year plan.

 

The proposed work includes:

·    Introducing 90 degree angle parking along Ness Avenue  between Garnet Street and 29 Ness Avenue;

·    Constructing a one-way slow point with landscaped traffic islands and a tree in front of 14 Ness Avenue;

·    Installing a STOP sign and painting chevron line markings at the intersection of Ness Avenue and Tennyson Street;

·    Replacing two ailing street trees and improving conditions for three existing street trees; and

·    Painting cycleway symbols on the road.

 

Parking impact

This amended proposal would create approximately four additional parking spaces at the western end of the street. Two parking spaces would be removed in front of 14 Ness Avenue where the slow point is proposed to be built. Vehicular access to adjoining properties will be retained.

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

130 letters outlining the proposals with copies of the plans were sent out to the property owners and occupier. Council received a total of 7 submissions with 3 supporting, and 4 opposing the proposal.

 

Comments from residents in support of the proposal

 

Residents Comments

Council’s Officer Comments

Love it. Very appropriate for this type of street scape

Noted

It’s good that you are trying to solve the lack of parking problem in our area

Noted

I highly welcome and support the amended proposal, in particular the construction of the slow point with landscaped traffic island and a tree in front of 14 Ness Avenue and the stop sign at the intersection of Ness Avenue and Tennyson Street.

I’ve been a resident of Ness Avenue for 3.5 years now and like other residents have noticed that racing cars down our street and the noise and dangers associated with this, have become quite an issue over the past 12-18 months. I think that the new traffic island and stop sign would definitely help slow down traffic and reduce the noise & risks, and is also a better solution than a speed hump.

In addition to that, I welcome the improvement of the conditions for three existing street trees and replacing two ailing trees. The trees are a wonderful feature of our lovely street which must be maintained.

And lastly, I also welcome the introduction of the 90 degree angle parking to create 4 additional parking spaces. I don’t own a car myself, but I do know that finding parking can be difficult at times and 4 additional spaces will be helpful.

Noted

 

 

 

Comments from residents in objection to the proposal

 

Issue raised by respondent

Council’s Officer Comments

The proposed 6 angle parking spaces are unnecessary for the section of Ness Avenue from no15 to number 25.

We are disappointed that the broad and longstanding community support for mitigation measures to slow traffic turning from Tennyson into Ness Ave and along Ness to Garnett has been diverted into a parking proposal. We prefer engineering solutions to narrow the entrance to Ness Ave and to slow traffic via street gardens. We think these types of measures would be much more effective in the long run than a stop sign and 90 parking.

 

 

The 90 degree angle parking is proposed between Garnet Street and 29 Ness Avenue.

Proposal provided some additional spaces through introduction of 90 angle parking in a small section of Ness Avenue which doesn’t affect current parallel parking at property no 15-25.

These proposals are part of a series of measures implemented along Ness Avenue and adjoining streets to calm traffic down through these local streets. The original study did consider traffic devices as necessary at the intersection of Ness Avenue and Tennyson Road. To date a number of measures have been implemented in this area to help calm traffic.


1. The proposed stop sign and chevron line markings at the intersection of Ness Avenue and Tennyson Street will have little or no impact on the 'hoons' who regularly lose control on this corner (turning from Tennyson Street into Ness Avenue) and smash into cars parked on the northern side of Ness Avenue. The best solution would be to install a pedestrian refuge (or other form of physical barrier) at this intersection.

2. 90 degree angle parking would restrict visibility for residents reversing out of adjacent driveways, increasing the risk of accidents. I would recommend retaining the existing parallel parking spots.

These proposals are part of a series of measures implemented along Ness Avenue and adjoining streets to calm traffic down through these local streets. The original study did consider traffic devices as necessary at the intersection of Ness Avenue and Tennyson Road. To date a number of measures have been implemented in this area to help calm traffic.

The purpose of angle parking is to slow vehicular traffic and increase road safety. The angle parking has been localised to a section of the street which reduced the impact to the exit visibility from driveways.

I strongly object to the proposal with regard to Ness Avenue:

1. It appears from the photograph/diagram that there is a slow point outside my house, number 8 Ness Avenue, even though the letter stated that the slow point is in front of number 14. I object to ANY slow point in the middle of Ness Avenue as I believe that it will cause noise and congestion.

2. As one of only two residents without off street parking I strongly object to any loss of existing parking spots in Ness Avenue and, I repeat, I object to the construction of a slow point in the street. It is not necessary.

Property No 8 is approximately 20m away from the proposed slow point location. The purpose of the slow point is to slow traffic and thus increase the road safety. The nose level would be minimal.

Proposal would result in additional 4 parking spaces.

 

 

CONCLUSION

That design of the: Ness Avenue, Dulwich Hill - 90 degrees angle parking, an one-way slow point, chevron painting and associated signage and line markings (ATTACHMENT 1 - design plans No 6050) be APPROVED.

Subject:         Bay Run - Proposed Temporary Road Closure to hold Bay Run Event on Sunday 7 August 2016
(Leichhardt Ward/Balmain)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/73426.16         

Prepared By: Nina Fard - Senior Traffic Engineer, Leichhardt  

Authorised By: Peter Gainsford - Director, Major Projects and Engineering

 

SUMMARY

The Bay Run Committee has requested approval from the Local Traffic Committee and Council to conduct the annual Bay Run event (its 14th year) on Sunday, 7th August 2016.

The Bay Run follows the shore line of Iron Cove and is approximately 7km. The shared path on the Iron Cove Bridge will form part of the Bay Run.

This event will be held between 6.00 and 10.30am on 7th August 2016. The race participation includes approximately: 2200 runners; 250 walkers; 120 runners with dogs; and 250 children (2km).

It is recommended that the temporary road closures of the following streets be supported:

·   Maliyawul Street, Lilyfield, north of Le Montage Function Centre, from 6.00am to 10.30am on Sunday, 7th August. The section of Maliyawul Street requested for closure is a dead end street.

·   Waterfront Drive, south of Point Road (within Callan Park)

 

Subject to complying with the following conditions; the TMP and TCP being approved by RMS, the proposed temporary closure of Waterfront Drive be approved by The Office of Environment and Heritage(OEH), arrange letter box drop to nearby properties, La Montage, Leichhardt Park & Aquatic Centre, Leichhardt Rowing Club and Balmain Soccer Club (Callan Park) two weeks prior to the event, details of the proposed event being forwarded to the appropriate authorities, including emergency services and a current Public Liability Insurance Policy being provided to Inner West Council.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT:

1.       the proposed temporary closure of Maliyawul Street (80m from the northern end), north of Le Montage Function Centre on Sunday, 7th August 2016  between 6.00 and 10.30am be supported, subject to the TMP and TCP being approved by RMS;

2.       the applicant be advised to contact OEH to seek approval for the proposed temporary closure of Waterfront Drive, south of Point Road for the event;

3.       the applicant be requested to implement the RMS approved Traffic Management Plan (TMP) and Traffic Control Plan (TCP) related to the temporary closure of Maliyawul Street and Waterfront Drive, Lilyfield at its own cost;

4.       the applicant be requested to arrange a letter box drop to nearby properties, La  Montage, Leichhardt Park & Aquatic Centre, Leichhardt Rowing Club and Balmain Soccer Club (Callan Park) two weeks prior to the event;

5.       the event organiser be requested to produce a current Public Liability Insurance Policy with Inner West Council being included as an Interested Party; and

6.       Council’s Parks & Open Space Planner be advised of the Committee’s recommendation.

 

 

BACKGROUND

This is the 14th running of the Bay Run Event. The current Bay Run 2016 organising team has been involved in running the event for a number of years and is again requesting the closure of  

·    Maliyawul Street, north of Le Montage Function Centre to arrange the finish line on the road in Maliyawul Street at Leichhardt Oval No.3 and

·    Waterfront Drive, south of Point Road (within Callan Park)

 

The closure of Maliyawul Street will allow for the set-up of the event on Sunday. The organiser has confirmed that security guards will be in attendance overnight to monitor the area. The participants are expected to arrive around 6am on the Sunday.

The proposed closure of Maliyawul Street is on Sunday, 7th August 2016, between 6.00 and 10.30am to allow for the set-up of the event.

It should be noted that the subject section of Maliyawul Street is a ‘No Through’ road.

Since no matches would be permitted on Oval No.3 at the time of this event, the closure of an 80m (from the closed end) section of Maliyawul Street should cause no significant impacts on parking during the event closure time. This closure has occurred at previous year’s events and has caused no problems.

The closure of Waterfront Drive is to prevent conflicts with vehicles.

Non-event cyclists would not be able to use the closed sections of Maliyawul Street and Waterfront Drive. However, as a number of detours are available for non-event cyclists, the impact on them is considered minimal.

The TMP and TCP submitted by the event organiser as attached at ATTACHMENT 1 will be forwarded to RMS for approval.

The applicant has advised that they are in the process of obtaining public liability insurance to the amount of $50 million and cash insurance for the amount of $20,000 from the Federation of P&C Associations. This will be consistent with the insurance coverage in 2015. As part of obtaining the public liability insurance a risk management plan has also been prepared.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

The Bay Run organisers have advised that the event will be publicised via a range of public media in the lead up to the event including local banners, notifications on the Bay Run course, local media (print and radio) and via social media (Facebook). Inner West Council (Leichhardt) is a supporting partner of the event. Le Montage is aware of the event. Leichhardt Park Aquatic Centre, Leichhardt Rowing Club and Balmain District FC (Callan Park) will all be notified about the event in the lead up to the event.

The Office of Environment and Heritage will be contacted regarding closing the section of Waterfront Drive as outlined in the TMP.

As in 2015 there will be a letter box drop to residents in the nearby streets, by the organisers in the lead up to the event.

 

 

CONCLUSION

BACKGROUND

The traffic management during the event will be in accordance with the TMP and TCP submitted by the event organiser as attached at ATTACHMENT 1 and similar to that used for last year’s event. There were no reported issues regarding traffic management from last year. The attached TMP and TCP will be forwarded to RMS for formal approval.

In order to allow stalls and structures to be erected it will be required to temporarily close Smith Street (between Piper Street and Gilles Street), Gillies Street (between Young Street and cul-de-sac), Gillies Lane (between Gillies Street and Wisdom Street) and Wisdom Street, west of Young Street to traffic from 2pm on Saturday, 20st August to 7pm on Sunday, 21st August 2016. 

The subject section of Gillies Street ends at a cul-de-sac.  Both Smith Street and Gillies Street are local streets.  As all the properties along Smith Street and Gillies Street have access to Young Street, the impact of the road closures is expected to be minimal.

 

 

The proposed road closures will be arranged using barricades and appropriate signage provided by Inner West Council at all road closure points prior to the commencement of the Event. In addition, traffic control marshals will be located at the main road closure points.

As the Event is to be held on a Sunday, commercial and work related traffic would be minimal.

This event will promote the use of public transport as the predominant form of transport to the Event and a strong ‘No Cars’ message will be included in event promotions.

Inner West Council will arrange street cleaning and waste removal prior to the re-opening of the roadways. Traffic marshals will remain at all road closure barriers until street cleaning is completed and instructed by the Event Organiser to remove barriers.

Emergency vehicles will have access to all areas controlled by Traffic controllers and Security Staff. First Aid Centres staffed by St Johns Ambulance Services will be situated within the parklands.

Residents will be advised prior to the event of closures and encouraged to pre-plan vehicle access before the event.

Heavy vehicles will be diverted at road closures in line with other traffic.

Inner West Council, as event organiser, carries public risk insurance cover with a minimum policy value $20,000,000. The policy will indemnify Inner West Council staff, Police and RTA staff rostered for duty on the day of the Event, against all claims for damage or injury that may result from activities associated with the Event and the occupation of that of the public way occupied during the Event.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Nil.

 

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

As part of the application process, Council will notify all residents, business houses, churches, hotels etc. in and around the affected areas, by way of letterbox drop detailing times of proposed road closures and parking restrictions that will be put in place on the day of the event.

The Footprints Eco Festival will be advertised on Council’s website and in the local community newspapers informing local residents of the revised traffic arrangements, road closures and parking restrictions that will be put in place on the day of the event. To further inform the public of the event, including the altered traffic arrangements, any advertising whether paid or free is to include notification of the closure and the potential for traffic delays in the area.

Traffic information services on commercial and community radio programs will be used to advise the public of the Event and the road closure associated with the event.

Inner West Council, as event organiser, carries public risk insurance cover with a minimum policy value $20,000,000.

 

 

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that the temporary road closures of the following Streets be supported, subject to formal approval of the TMP and TCP by RMS:

·   Smith Street between Piper Street and Gillies Street;

·   Gillies Street between Young Street to the parklands;

·   Gillies Lane, between Gillies Street and Wisdom Street; and

Item No:         T0716 Item 6

Subject:         Morris Street, Summer Hill - Request for Mobility Parking Space at No. 58 Morris Street
(Ashfield Ward/Summer Hill)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/73054.16         

Prepared By: James Brocklebank - Traffic Officer, Ashfield  

Authorised By: Davide Torresan - A/Senior Engineer, Ashfield

 

SUMMARY

Council has received an application from 58 Morris Street for the creation of a dedicated mobility parking zone in front of the home. It is recommended that the zone be created as the disabled resident has no offstreet parking and on-street parking in the vicinity of the home is difficult to find.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT a signposted mobility parking space be approved in front of No. 58 Morris Street, Summer Hill.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

The resident has supplied Council with copies of their mobility parking permit and a correspondence from his doctor supporting the need for a mobility parking space. There is no off-street parking at No.58 Morris Street and parking observations indicate that parking is often difficult to obtain within reasonable proximity of the home. The above suggests that a disabled parking space may be needed.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Nil.

 

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

The applicant’s doctor has indicated that the applicant has medical issues which would result in difficulty walking more than 50m and it is considered that the applicant needs to be able to park close to his home. The applicant has been informed and has acknowledged that a disabled parking space, if provided will not be for his sole use and that any person holding a valid mobility parking permit may park in it.

It will not be possible, owing to the narrow width of the street, for the parking space to be installed at the 3.2m width proposed in the Australian Standard AS2890.5. Kerb ramps are not proposed at this space however may be installed at the applicant’s cost if required.

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Council has written to residents of Morris Street within the vicinity of the proposed mobility parking space inviting comment. One resident raised a concern about the resultant loss of general parking however it is considered that the needs of the disabled resident take priority.

Item No:         T0716 Item 8

Subject:         Victoria Street, Ashfield - Creation of "No Parking (Australia Post Vehicles Excepted)"
(Ashfield Ward/Summer Hill)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/73058.16         

Prepared By: James Brocklebank - Traffic Officer, Ashfield  

Authorised By: Davide Torresan - A/Senior Engineer, Ashfield

 

SUMMARY

A request from a resident and supported by Australia Post for creation of a “No Parking (Australia Post Vehicles Excepted)” zone on the west side of Victoria Street, Ashfield to the north of Seaview Street. The zone will provide space for residents to pull in to drop off mail and also for postal workers to park in order to collect mail.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT a “No Parking (Australia Post Vehicles Excepted)” zone be created on the west side of Victoria Street, north of Seaview Street, and the zone to be 8m in length.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

Australia Post has a Post Box sited on the west side of Victoria Street, north of Seaview Street.

A request has been received for a “No Parking (Australia Post Vehicles Excepted)” zone to be created as vehicles are frequently parked adjacent to the Post Box with no vacant parking nearby forcing postal workers and people seeking to drop off mail to double park.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Nil.

 

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

Although it is illegal to park adjacent to a Post Box, this road rule is either ignored or not widely known in the community. Observations suggest that vehicles are frequently parked adjacent to this Post Box and installation of a “No Parking (Australia Post Vehicles Excepted)” zone is considered appropriate.

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Australia Post have been approached for feedback and have supported the need for the parking restriction at this location.

Technical Standards

Australian Standard AS2890.5-1993 “On-Street Parking” states the following in regards to the provision of parking for people with a disability:

Parallel parking spaces shall not be marked as disabled spaces, nor included in the count of spaces available for people with disabilities unless –

i.   A 3.2m wide space can be provided, e.g. by indenting the space into the footpath area; and

ii.  Kerb ramps as shown in Figure 4.2(a) are also provided”.

 

It should be noted that due to the limited width of streets around the Marrickville LGA, it is often difficult to comply with these requirements for the parking space dimensions. This may also result in the loss of some adjacent on-street parking spaces.

Mobility parking spaces are primarily intended for on-street and off-street parking at destinations, such as in commercial/retail areas and public car parks near hospitals, schools and public transport facilities where multiple usages can be expected. They were generally not intended for points of origin such as reserving on-street parking.

A mobility parking space is not intended for the sole use of one applicant, but rather a shared facility that can used by all authorised persons having an RMS mobility permit.

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

A notification letter has been sent to the applicants informing them of the application process and as part of the assessment they will be considered at this meeting.

 

 

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that the 'Mobility Parking' spaces be approved as the applicants’ condition warrants the provision of the space.

It should be noted that the proposed mobility parking spaces are not for the sole use of the applicant and may be used by other authorised persons.

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

7 July 2016

 

Item No:         T0716 Item 11

Subject:         Dobroyd Lane, Dobroyd Point - Request for “No Parking” in Lane
(Leichhardt Ward/Summer Hill)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/72954.16         

Prepared By: James Brocklebank - Traffic Officer, Ashfield  

Authorised By: Davide Torresan - A/Senior Engineer, Ashfield

 

SUMMARY

A number of requests have been received from residents of Dobroyd Lane for parking restrictions in the lane to improve access to driveways/garages accessed from the lane.

After consultation, it is recommended that “No Parking” restrictions recommended by the Ashfield Traffic Committee in April be amended with the existing No Parking restriction on the northern side of the lane increased in length to more clearly designate where vehicles may not park whilst retaining some parking spaces.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT the ‘No Parking’ zone approved at the (former Ashfield Council’s) April Traffic Committee for the northern side of Dobroyd Lane be adjusted to permit parking to take place:

a.       at the rear of No.25 Dobroyd Parade between the two property access points to that residence;

b.      between the prolongation of the driveway to No.27 Crescent Street and the side access gate for No.67 Boomerang Street; and

c.       for an additional parking space east of Boomerang Street.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

At the April Traffic Committee meeting it was recommended:

1.    That a ‘No Parking’ restriction be established on the full length of the southern side of Dobroyd Lane between Kingston Street and Boomerang Street.

2.    That the existing ‘No Parking’ restriction on the northern side of Dobroyd Lane across driveways serving No.25 & 24 Dobroyd Parade be extended in a westerly direction to terminate at a point opposite the western extremity of the driveway to No.29 Crescent Street.

 

This recommendation was subsequently adopted by Council however after notifying residents of the resolution two residents living on the northern side of Dobroyd Lane have raised concerns about the impact of the changes which will remove most parking opportunities from the western end of the lane. As outlined in the April Traffic Committee report residents on the northern side of Dobroyd Lane have no alternate form of vehicular access or street frontage apart from Dobroyd Lane and, although the option of parking on Crescent Street or Kingston Street remains available to them the magnitude of the loss of parking from Dobroyd Lane is considered excessive by both residents.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Nil.

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

As outlined in the April Traffic Committee report the lane is very narrow (approximately 4.9m in width) and if a vehicle is parked adjacent to or opposite a vehicular access point it makes turning in and out of that parking space very difficult or impossible. After re-inspecting the lane and consulting again with residents it is considered that it would be possible to retain three of the parking spaces lost as a result of the recommendation arising from the April Traffic Committee. The spaces are sited a) at the rear of No.25 Dobroyd Parade b) to the west of the gate serving No.67 Boomerang Street c) near the intersection with Boomerang Street.  Two parking spaces will be created near Boomerang Street (instead of the one originally proposed) while the other locations will each yield one additional parking space of approximately 6m in length. Spaces a and b do impact to some extent upon property access to No.21 Crescent Street and No.27 Crescent Street.

By reducing the length of the No Stopping zone near the Boomerang St intersection it is possible to create two, rather than the originally intended one, parking space in this locality. No impact on property access or access to/from the lane eventuates from this change

No.21 Crescent Street has a 3 car garage accessed from Dobroyd Lane. Ingress and egress to the westernmost of the 3 spaces will be compromised to/from the west if parking is permitted on the opposite side of the lane. Ingress and egress to/from that space should still however be possible if undertaken to/from the east.

No.27 Crescent Street has its primary driveway access to Crescent Street from which 2-3 vehicles can be parked off-street. A secondary vehicular access point also exists to Dobroyd Lane – access to the property via this layback will be compromised (to/from the east) if parking is permitted on the opposite side of the lane however given that access via this point is infrequent and will still be possible to/from the west via Boomerang Street the impact is considered reasonable.

The proposed changes are illustrated below.

 

 

Proposed Changes

 

b. 1 parking space – impacts on property access for No.27 to/from the east

 

         Proposed No Parking

         No Stopping

 

a. 1 parking space – impacts on property access for No.21 to/from the west

 

c. 2 parking spaces – no property access impact

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Two rounds of consultation with residents have taken place. The first prior to the April Traffic Committee and the 2nd prior to the July Traffic Committee. Feedback is mixed. Residents on the southern side of Dobroyd Lane who also have property frontages to Crescent Street want parking minimized in the lane. Residents on the northern side of the lane, who have no alternate street frontage want parking opportunities retained in the lane.

It should be noted that the residents at both No.27 Crescent Street and No.21 Crescent Street are opposed to the retention of parking on the northern side of the lane near their homes given the impact upon their property access.

Item No:         T0716 Item 12

Subject:         Rawson Street, Haberfield - Relocation of “No Parking (Australia Post Vehicles Excepted)”
(Leichhardt Ward/Summer Hill)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/72963.16         

Prepared By: James Brocklebank - Traffic Officer, Ashfield  

Authorised By: Davide Torresan - A/Senior Engineer, Ashfield

 

SUMMARY

A request from Australia Post for relocation of the No Parking (Australia Post Vehicles Excepted) zone from outside their existing premises at 71 Dalhousie Street, Haberfield to a new location on the side boundary of their new premises at 175 Ramsay Street, Haberfield. The new zone will be sited on the east side of Rawson Street to the north of Ramsay Street.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT:

1.       the existing “No Parking (Australia Post Vehicles Excepted)” zone outside No. 71 Dalhousie Street be relocated to the east side of Rawson Street on the side frontage of No. 175 Ramsay Street and the zone be 8m in length; and

2.       that 1P parking be reinstated in place of the redundant “No Parking” zone in Dalhousie Street.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

Australia Post has a Post Box sited in front of No.71 Dalhousie Street at the site of the existing Australia Post premises. They are relocating their premises to 175 Ramsay Street and in conjunction with the move will be re-installing the Post Box on the side frontage of the new premises, within Rawson Street. They have requested a “No Parking (Australia Post Vehicles Excepted)” zone in Rawson Street to facilitate servicing of the Post Box by their delivery vans.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Nil.

 

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

Relocation of the “No Parking (Australia Post Vehicles Excepted)” zone from Dalhousie Street to Rawson Street is supported. The new zone will remove a short length of 1P parking from Rawson Street however a similar length of 1P parking will be reinstated in place of the redundant zone in Dalhousie Street so there will be no net loss of short term parking for shoppers. 

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

No consultation is required as there is no net loss of parking and given the necessity for the Post Box to be accessed by delivery vans.

Item No:         T0716 Item 13

Subject:         Croydon Road, Croydon - Request for Mobility Parking Space at No. 54 Croydon Road
(Leichhardt Ward/Strathfield)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/73009.16         

Prepared By: James Brocklebank - Traffic Officer, Ashfield  

Authorised By: Davide Torresan - A/Senior Engineer, Ashfield

 

SUMMARY

Council has received an application from 54 Croydon Road for the creation of a dedicated mobility parking space in front of the home. It is recommended that space be created as the disabled resident has no off-street parking and on-street parking in the vicinity of the home is difficult to find.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT a signposted mobility parking space be approved in front of No. 54 Croydon Road.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

The resident has supplied Council with copies of their mobility parking permit and a letter from their doctor supporting the need for a mobility parking space. There is no off-street parking at No.54 Croydon Road and parking observations indicate that parking is difficult to obtain within reasonable proximity of the home. The above suggests that a disabled parking space may be needed.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Nil.

 

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

The applicant’s doctor has indicated that she has significant mobility problems and has indicated that the applicant needs to be able to park close to her home. The applicant has been informed that a disabled parking space, if provided will not be for her sole use and that any person holding a valid mobility parking permit may park in it. 

It will not be possible, owing to the narrow width of the street for the parking space to be installed at the 3.2m width proposed in the Australian Standard AS2890.5. Kerb ramps are not proposed at this space however may be installed at the applicant’s cost if required.

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Council has written to residents of Croydon Road within the vicinity of the proposed mobility parking space inviting comment. No objections to the creation of the space have been received.

Item No:         T0716 Item 14

Subject:         Chapman Lane, Annandale - No Parking Restrictions
(Leichhardt Ward/Balmain)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/73281.16         

Prepared By: Khanh Nguyen - Traffic and Parking Engineer, Leichhardt  

Authorised By: Peter Gainsford - Director, Major Projects and Engineering

 

SUMMARY

Council has received a request to install parking restrictions in Chapman Lane, Annandale at the rear of No. 98 & Nos. 100-104 Johnston Street. The purpose is to address issues with vehicles parking in the space between the two driveways and obstructing access to nearby properties’ off-street (on-site) parking and disrupting the waste collection of Nos. 100-104 Johnston Street.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT a ‘No Parking’ zone (approximately 26 metres) be installed in Chapman Lane across the two rear driveways of No. 98 & Nos. 100-104 Johnston Street, Annandale.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

Council received a request from residents to install parking restrictions in Chapman Lane, Annandale at the rear of No. 98 & Nos. 100-104 Johnston Street. Initially the parking restrictions were requested by residents of Nos. 100-104 Johnston Street who had problems with waste collection due to cars parking across the entrance and area where the waste bins are placed for collection, thus restricting the waste collection services. However, there have been several requests in the past for parking restrictions in Chapman Lane, as parked cars would often block access to other properties with rear garage access in the lane. The proposal will address both these issues.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The cost of the supply and installation of the proposed ‘No Parking’ zone is approximately $500 and can be met from Council’s existing signs and line marking budget.

 

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

Locality Plan – Chapman Lane, Annandale

 

 

 

Proposal – No Parking zone - Chapman Lane, Annandale

 

Proposed ‘No Parking’ zone of approximately 26m in Chapman Lane across the rear driveways of No. 98 and No. 100-104 Johnston Street, Annandale.

 

                                                     

 

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

A letter outlining the above proposal was mailed out to the affected properties (42 properties) in Annandale Street and Johnston Street as indicated on the attached plan, requesting residents’ views regarding the proposal. Please refer to the map below.

 

 

Three responses were received, all supporting the proposal.

Item No:         T0716 Item 15

Subject:         Proposed Statutory 'No Stopping' Restrictions at Victoria Road, Marrickville
(Marrickville Ward/Newtown)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/72455.16         

Prepared By: Snezana Bakovic - Project Engineer Traffic, Marrickville  

Authorised By: Wal Petschler - Manager Design and Investigation, Marrickville

 

SUMMARY

A safety concerns has been received from a resident regarding illegally parked vehicles on Victoria Road at the intersection with Black Road, Marrickville. Vehicles are regularly park too close to the intersection, which restrict sight lines for motorists.

It is recommended that the statutory ‘No Stopping’ restrictions be installed at Victoria Road for a distance of 10 metres on the both sides of its intersection with Black Street, MarrickvilleStart writing the summary here.

 

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT the installation of the statutory ‘No Stopping’ restriction on the both sides of Victoria Road for a distance of 10 metres of its intersection with Black Street, Marrickville be APPROVED, in order to deter illegal parking, improve sight lines for turning motorists and increase safety for all road users.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

A resident has raised concerns regarding the restricted sight lines for motorists turning from Black Street into Victoria Road, Marrickville. The resident advised that illegally parked vehicles in Victoria Road regular obstruct sight lines for motorists turning from Black Road into Victoria Road. Parking demand in this area is high due to vicinity of the Enmore Park, Annette Kellerman Aquatic Centre and Marrickville Metro Shopping Centre.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The costs of the supply and relocation of the subject signage is approximately $500 and can be met form Council’s existing signs and line markings budget.

 

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

Victoria Road is a two-way Regional Road with a carriageway width of approximately 11.5 metres running northeast-southwest between Enmore and Marrickville. Parking is generally permitted on both sides of the road.

The subject junction of Victoria Road with Black Street can generate significant pedestrian activity and increase parking demand in this area especially during the school holidays and weekends, and due to the high demand for parking drivers regularly park too close to the intersection and compromise visibility.

At the time of site inspection a vehicle was observed to be illegally parked on Victoria Road within 10 metres west of its intersection with Black Road.

Technical Issues

In accordance with the Australian Road Rules, a ‘No Stopping’ zone is mandatory for a distance of 10 metres from an intersecting road.  Pursuant to the RMS’ Technical Directions, it is stated that signposting at an unsignalised intersection (without pedestrian crossing) “should only be required where there is a compliance problem or there is adjoining signposting”. 

 

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

A notification letter was sent to owner and occupier of Victoria Road regarding the proposal. The closing date for submissions ended on 6 June 2016. No feedback on this proposal has been received to date.

 

 

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that the existing 'No Stopping' zone located on the both side of Victoria Road, at its intersection with Black Road to improve sight lines for turning motorists and increase safety for all road users.

Item No:         T0716 Item 16

Subject:         Frampton Lane, Marrickville - Request for ‘No Parking’ Restrictions
(Marrickville Ward/Newtown)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/72287.16         

Prepared By: Emilio Andari - Civil Engineer, Marrickville  

Authorised By: Wal Petschler - Manager Design and Investigation, Marrickville

 

SUMMARY

Representations have been received from local residents for the installation of full time ‘No Parking’ restrictions in Frampton Lane, Marrickville adjacent to the off-street car parking spaces along the laneway, as vehicular access is often blocked by parked vehicles in the laneway.

 

Residents have been notified of the proposal to install a section of ‘No Parking’ signs on the southern side of Frampton Lane and two statutory ‘No Stopping’ signs on the southern side of Frampton Lane at its intersection with Frampton Avenue and Frampton Lane. It is recommended that the proposal be approved.

 

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT:

1.       the installation of full-time ‘No Parking’ restrictions on the southern side of Frampton Lane, Marrickville adjacent to property no. 2 Frampton Avenue, Marrickville (between Frampton Avenue and Frampton Lane) be APPROVED, in order to provide unobstructed vehicular access to the off-street car parking spaces and deter illegal parking across vehicular crossings; and

2.       the installation of two statutory ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on the southern side of Frampton Lane, Marrickville for a distance of 10 metres from its intersection with Frampton Avenue, Marrickville and its intersection with Frampton Lane, Marrickville be APPROVED, in order to deter illegal parking, improve access for turning motorists and increase safety.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

Following the implementation of the Marrickville Town Centre Parking Strategy, a number of local residents of Frampton Avenue and Sydenham Road, Marrickville had raised concerns about the ‘knock-on’ effects of on-street parking and that an increased demand for parking takes place in Frampton Lane, Marrickville as it is unrestricted parking.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The costs of the supply and installation of the signposting associated with the recommended ‘No Parking’ & ‘No Stopping’ restrictions are approximately $800 and can be met from Council’s operating budget.

Parking in laneways

 

A site inspection undertaken by a Council Officer revealed there are six (6) vehicular crossings along the northern side of the subject location of Frampton Lane to provide rear access to properties fronting Sydenham Road and there is one (1) off-street parking facility located on the southern side of the lane for the adjacent property fronting Frampton Avenue. The subject location currently consists of six on-street parking spaces along the southern side of the lane which will be affected by the proposal however, a total of seven off-street parking facilities will be given clear access.

This proposal will provide unobstructed vehicular access to adjoining properties. It was observed during the site inspection the off-street parking facilities were utilised. It was also noted that there is a high demand for parking in the area and vehicles were parked along the southern side of the lane.

It should be noted that laneways were generally built to provide service access for properties and access into off-street parking facilities. Prohibiting parking in this laneway will help achieve this goal.

Council has recently adopted the Laneway Parking Guidelines which outline the measures to consider when the use of the laneway prohibits access to off-street parking and access through the laneway. The effective use of narrow streets and laneways alleviates parking pressure. Effectively managed laneways allow for adequate access while providing the maximum amount of on-street parking. The Laneway Parking Guidelines outline the priorities for using narrow laneways and the actions and processes that Council will use to manage access and parking. These guidelines have been developed to provide consistency for evaluating the need for parking controls and manage the use of narrow streets and laneways to maintain access and maximise parking. The need for parking controls is based on the width of the laneway shown below in Table 1.

Laneway Width

Laneway Width
(between property boundaries or kerbs/driveways)

Parking and Access Arrangements

5.1 metres or more wide

·   Parking allowed on at least one side of the laneway

·   Allows access for emergency, delivery and waste collection trucks at all times

·   Complies with Australian Standards and Road Rule 208(7)

Less than 5.1 metres

·   Parking NOT permitted in the laneway

·   Allows vehicle access at all times and complies with Australian Standards and Road Rule 208(7)

Table 1: Laneway Parking Guideline

 

For parking to be allowed in a narrow laneway, the Australian Standards require that parallel parking spaces be at least 2.1 metres wide and NSW Road Rules requires that at least 3 metres must be available between a parked car and the kerb or edge of the laneway to allow moving vehicles to pass safely. Therefore, laneway widths that are less than 5.1 metres wide are too narrow to allow parking as any parked vehicle would prevent traffic from using the laneway (see Table 1 above and Figure 1 below).

 

 

 

Figure 1: Recommended minimum width of laneway for parking – 5.1 metres

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

A notification letter was sent to owners and occupiers of the affected properties that are adjacent to the subject location of Frampton Lane regarding the proposal to install full-time ‘No Parking’ restrictions along the southern side of Frampton Lane with statutory ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on the southern side of the lane at its intersections with Frampton Avenue and Frampton Lane. The closing date for submissions ended on 24 June 2016.

 

A total of seven (7) letters were sent out to the effected residential properties. At the end of the survey period provided for comments, no responses were received.

 

 

CONCLUSION

In order to provide unobstructed vehicular access to the residents’ off-street car parking spaces and deter illegal parking across vehicular crossings, it is recommended that full-time ‘No Parking’ restrictions be installed on the southern side of Frampton Lane, Marrickville adjacent to property no. 2 Frampton Avenue, Marrickville (between Frampton Avenue and Frampton Lane. It is also recommended to install two statutory ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on the southern side of Frampton Lane, Marrickville for a distance of 10 metres from its intersection with Frampton Avenue, Marrickville and its intersection with Frampton Lane, Marrickville, in order to deter illegal parking, improve access for turning motorists and increase safety.

SUMMARY

Concerns were raised by a business owner in the southern section of Renwick Street, Marrickville that there was no short stay parking in the locality that allows motorists to park and visit businesses in the area. Allocating two presently unrestricted on-street parking spaces on the north side of Renwick Street immediately west of the statutory ‘No Stopping’ restrictions which extend from Carrington Road intersection as short term restricted parking would allow visitors to the area the opportunity to park for a short period of time.

Surrounding local business owners have been notified of the proposal to install a 12 metre length (two parking spaces) of “P30 7.30AM – 3.00PM Monday – Friday’ in the location described above and it is recommended that the proposal be approved.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT the installation of a 12 metre length (two parking spaces) of “P30 7.30AM – 3.00PM Monday – Friday’ on the northern side of Renwick Street, commencing from the existing 10 metre ‘No Stopping’ restriction west of Carrington Road, Marrickville be APPROVED, in order to provide short term parking opportunities at that location.

 

 

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The costs of the supply and installation of the signposting associated with the recommended ‘No Parking’ restrictions are approximately $650 and can be met from Council’s operating budget.

At Renwick Street and Carrington Road intersection showing location of proposed short stay parking


 

At present, unrestricted parking is permitted along both sides of Renwick Street. It has been observed that during a site inspection, the available on-street parking is highly utilised, especially towards the south eastern end of the street near Carrington Road and adjacent to the industrial properties. It is noted that there is a large industrial property at 49 Carrington Road, which has frontages on Renwick Street as well as Carrington Road and Warren Road, Marrickville. A cycleway runs along the Carrington Road frontage of this industrial complex.

The multi-unit industrial complex at 49 Carrington Road contains 29 units with off-street parking for 62 vehicles (DA 200700549) and development application consent conditions for the multi-unit industrial complex included that no retailing be carried out from any unit with the exception of the approved café (Clause 5) and the 62 off-street car parking spaces (2 mobility spaces) are required to ensure practical off street car parking is available for the uses in the complex (Clause 9). All loading operations are expected to be contained within the site.

Providing the short stay on-street parking facilities would complement existing parking arrangements in the locality.

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

A notification letter was hand delivered on Friday 10 June 2016 to owners and occupiers of the multi-unit industrial property at 49 Carrington Road and to other industrial users on the southern side of Renwick Street near Carrington Road, Marrickville. No closing date for submissions was given however it was stated that the proposal would be considered at Council’s Pedestrian, Cyclist and Traffic Calming Advisory Committee meeting held on 7 July 2016.

A total of thirty-five (35) letters were hand delivered to the affected business properties and to one adjacent residential property.  At the end of the two week survey period no responses were received.

 

 

CONCLUSION

In order to provide some short stay parking opportunities in the industrial section of Renwick Street, Marrickville it is recommended that a 12 metre length (two parking spaces) of “P30 7.30AM – 3.00PM Monday – Friday’ on the northern side of Renwick Street, commencing from the existing 10 metre ‘No Stopping’ restriction west of Carrington Road, Marrickville be installed.

Item No:         T0716 Item 18

Subject:         Marrickville Road, Marrickville - Request for Changes to Parking Restrictions
(Marrickville Ward/Summer Hill)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/72401.16         

Prepared By: Jennifer Adams - Traffic and Road Safety Officer, Marrickville  

Authorised By: Wal Petschler - Manager Design and Investigation, Marrickville

 

SUMMARY

Concerns have been raised regarding traffic congestion on Marrickville Road around St Brigid's Primary School located near the intersection of Marrickville and Livingstone Roads, Marrickville.

It is recommended that a 'No Stopping 2.30PM-3.30PM School Days' zone be APPROVED in an existing 13 metre length of unrestricted parking located on the southern side of Marrickville Road, adjacent to St Brigid's School driveway. It is envisaged that this will improve traffic flow during the afternoon school pick-up period.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT:

1.       the existing 13 metre length of unrestricted parking on the southern side of Marrickville Road, adjacent to St Brigid's Schools’ driveway and between the ‘Bus Zone’ be REPLACED with 'No Stopping 2.30pm-3.30pm School Days' restrictions, in order to improve traffic flow during the afternoon school pick-up period; and

2.       the applicant and Council Rangers be advised in terms of this report.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

The Principal of St Brigid’s Primary School has requested a change, from unrestricted parking on Marrickville Road (adjacent to the church carpark) between the school driveway and the existing ‘Bus Zone’ to ‘No Stopping’ restrictions in the school afternoon peak period (ie. 13 metre length of presently unrestricted parking on the southern side of Marrickville Road west of the church/school driveway and east of the Bus Zone) in order to alleviate traffic congestion at the driveway and on Marrickville Road, Marrickville. 

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The costs of the supply and installation of the signposting associated with the recommended parking restrictions is approximately $600 and can be met from Council’s existing budget for signs and line marking.

 

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

The entry/exit driveway to St Brigid's Primary School is located on the southern side of Marrickville Road, approximately 70 metres east of its intersection with Livingstone Road. This driveway leads to an off-street parking area that provides parking for both the primary school and visitors to the Church. The exit movements from this driveway are restricted to left out only.

 

Marrickville Road is a Regional Road with a carriageway width of 12.8m. It provides for major east-west movements through the Marrickville local government area and serves as the major access route to the Marrickville shopping strip.

Site investigations determined that traffic congestion at this location is caused by both east and westbound traffic queuing to turn into the school's driveway during afternoon school pick-up peak periods which  is further compounded by vehicles exiting the driveway and unable to enter the traffic stream, especially in the school pick-up period due to westbound traffic queuing on Marrickville Road as vehicles are waiting to turn right into Livingstone Road at the signalised intersection. This would be alleviated somewhat if there were no parked vehicles in the existing 13 metre length of unrestricted parking, between the school driveway and the Bus Zone.  (Refer to the locality map and photographs below).

It is noted that the installation of the proposed ‘No Stopping’ restricted parking in the afternoons on school days only would mean that there would be that loss of two spaces for the one hour. Presently the Church allows the public to use its private carpark and this to a degree compensates the installation of the proposed ‘No Stopping’ restrictions.

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Nil.

 

 

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that a 'No Stopping 2.30PM-3.30PM School Days Only' zone be approved in the existing 13 metre length of unrestricted parking located on the southern side of Marrickville Road, adjacent to St Brigid's School driveway, in order to improve traffic flow during the afternoon school pick-up period.

Item No:         T0716 Item 19

Subject:         Cooks River Tempe Car Parking 4P Restrictions
(Marrickville Ward/Summer Hill)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/74009.16         

Prepared By: Mary Bailey - Parking Planner, Marrickville  

Authorised By: Wal Petschler - Manager Design and Investigation, Marrickville

 

SUMMARY

The Cooks River Tempe Car parking area adjacent to Mackey Park, Concordia Club and NSW Croquet Club has become an informal commuter car parking area.

Council was approached by local users of the area to implement 4P restrictions during the day to ensure more equitable use of the car parking area.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT Council implement 4P restrictions in the Cooks River Tempe Car Park.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

Council is seeking to create 4P restrictions in the Cooks River Tempe car park. (Lots 70,71 and 72) as illustrated in Figure 1 below.

 

Figure 1. Cooks River Tempe Car parking area and surrounds

 

Community members seeking to use the car park to access the surrounding social and recreational venues are being displaced by commuters parking for the long day. The proposed restrictions will ensure a more equitable use of the car park and provide for users of the Concordia Club, Croquet Club and Mackey Park along with short term commuter car parking for Tempe rail station.

 

Implementing a 4P restriction will enable the Concordia Club to meet the conditions of its lease with the Crown which stipulates that the car parking area must be available for public access including users of Mackey Park.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Costing for the 14 parking signs (@ $300 each) $4,200 and 2 mobility parking spots $800 (Est Total $5,000) is effectively covered by monies which are available in the car parks budget.

 

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

 

Road related area

Legal advice obtained has suggested that the best course of action would be to treat the paved area currently used as a car park as a “road related area”. The Road Transport Act 2013 defines a "road related area" as follows:

 

(a)     an area that divides a road, or

(b)     a footpath or nature strip adjacent to a road, or

(c)     an area that is open to the public and is designated for use by cyclists or animals, or

(d)     an area that is not a road and that is open to or used by the public for driving, riding or parking vehicles, or

(e)     a shoulder of a road, or

(f)      any other area that is open to or used by the public and that has been declared under section 18 to be an area to which specified provisions of this Act or the statutory rules apply.

 

 

Ownership and Lease Conditions

Lot 71 (the north-south orientated arm of the carpark) is effectively Council’s carpark (area 1300sqm), while lot 72 (the east-west orientated arm of the carpark) is effectively Concordia carpark (area 1550sqm). Concordia Club has a lease for over half the carpark, which requires them to allow public car parking.

 

The relevant clauses of the lease between the Crown and Concordia Club relates to Lot 72/ 1066013 which only incorporates a small section of the carpark .Clauses 78 & 85 deal with the carpark, the public has access to the carpark (clause 78) and the car park is for users of Mackey Park during daylight hours ( clause 85).  (See excerpts below)

Item No:         T0716 Item 20

Subject:         Macaulay Road, Stanmore - Proposed Statutory ‘No Stopping’ Restrictions at Macaulay Road and Percival Road Intersection
(Stanmore Ward/Newtown)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/72169.16         

Prepared By: Jennifer Adams - Traffic and Road Safety Officer, Marrickville  

Authorised By: Wal Petschler - Manager Design and Investigation, Marrickville

 

SUMMARY

A request has been received from a resident of Macaulay Road, Stanmore for the provision of “No Stopping” road markings to deter illegal parking in Percival Road at its intersection with Macaulay Road, Stanmore to improve traffic safety at the intersection. The resident advised that vehicles are regularly parked too close to the intersection, which restricts available sightlines for turning motorists, particularly for motorists which need to turn into Percival Road.

 

It is recommended that the statutory 'No Stopping' restrictions, in the form of unbroken yellow lines, be installed on both sides of Macaulay Road and Percival Road, Stanmore for a distance of 10 metres from their intersection in order to deter illegal parking, increase safety and improve visibility and access.

 

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT:

 

1.       unbroken yellow lines (statutory 10 metre ‘No Stopping’ lines) be approved for installation on both sides of the intersection of Macaulay Road and Percival Road, Stanmore in order to deter illegal parking, improve access for turning motorists and increase safety;

 

2.       Council Rangers be advised of the decision and requested to include this location in their patrols, once the ‘No Stopping’ lines have been installed; and

 

3.       the resident is advised of the decision.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

Macaulay Road is a two-way local road in a residential area running east-west between Crystal Street and Northumberland Avenue and Percival Road is a two-way local road in a residential area running north-south between Parramatta Road and Salisbury Road, Stanmore.

 

Parking is currently unrestricted in both streets and there are no intersection controls in place. (Refer to the below locality map).

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The cost of the installation of the painted road markings associated with the proposed ‘No Stopping’ zones is approximately $300 and can be met from Council’s operating budget.

 

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

In accordance with the Australian Road Rules (ARR 170-3), a ‘No Stopping’ zone is mandatory for a distance of 10 metres from an intersecting road.  Pursuant to the RMS’ Technical Directions, it is stated that signposting and/or marking with a solid yellow line at an unsignalised intersection (without pedestrian crossing) “should only be required where there is a compliance problem or there is adjoining signposting”.  In this case it is shown to be a compliance problem which is causing problems for motorists wanting to turn.

 

 

It is noted that in November 2012 the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) advised Councils that a continuous yellow line painted on the edge of a road can be used either with or instead of ‘No Stopping’ signs to reinforce the 10 metre ‘No Stopping’ rule at an intersection.

 

A continuous (unbroken) yellow kerb line is a National Road Rule allowing yellow lines to replace ‘No Stopping’ signs and the present fine is $248, or $319 and two demerit points in a school zone (as at 1 March 2016). 

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

No consultation is required, as the proposed markings would enforce the current Australian Road Rules. However, adjacent residents will be notified of the proposed changes prior to the installation of markings.

 

 

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that the statutory 'No Stopping' restrictions, in the form of unbroken yellow lines, be installed on both sides of Macaulay Road and Percival Road, Stanmore for a distance of 10 metres from their intersection in order to deter illegal parking, increase safety and improve visibility and access.

On-street parking

 

The existing childcare centre located at 12-14 Brighton Street, Petersham currently operates between 7.30am and 5.30pm Mondays to Fridays with an existing on-street drop-off/pick-up zone of ‘1/4P 7am-9am, 3pm-6pm Mon-Fri’ adjacent to the property. The existing drop-off/pick-up zone is currently measured to be approximately 20 metres in length. The request made by the applicant is to extend the afternoon pick-up period from 3pm-6pm to 3pm-6:30pm on Mondays to Fridays.

 

It has been observed by Council Officers during a site inspection that on-street parking spaces along the subject section of Brighton Street were moderately utilised. By extending the time restrictions to the afternoon pick-up period, this will alleviate congestion between motorists and improve safety for passing traffic and access for children and parents into their vehicles.

CONCLUSION

In an effort to alleviate congestion during the afternoon pick-up period adjacent to Petersham Early Childhood Centre at 12-14 Brighton Street, Petersham, it is recommended that the proposal to change the existing drop-off/pick-up on-street parking zone time restrictions to ‘1/4P 7am-9am, 3pm-6:30pm Mon-Fri’ be approved, to improve safety for passing traffic and access for children and parents into their vehicles.

Prepared By: Emilio Andari - Civil Engineer, Marrickville  

Authorised By: Wal Petschler - Manager Design and Investigation, Marrickville

 

SUMMARY

A request has been received from a local resident of Alice Street for the installation of permit parking restrictions within a section of their street.

 

Residents have been notified of the proposal to install a section of ‘2P 8am – 10pm, Permit Holders Excepted – Area M14’ restrictions out front of their properties as part of the extension to the Area M14 permit parking precinct. It is recommended that the proposal be approved.

 

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT the installation of ‘2P 8am – 10pm, Permit Holders Excepted – Area M14’ restrictions at the front of residential properties (between property no. 132 Alice Street and property no. 142 Alice Street) along the southern side of Alice Street, Newtown be APPROVED, in order to provide parking opportunities for local residents and to help reduce the on-street parking pressures following Area M14 permit parking precinct extension.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

In March 2016, Council approved permit parking ‘2P 8am – 10pm, Permit Holders Excepted – Area M14’ restrictions in the following streets;

1)   Pearl Street, Newtown;

2)   Little Commodore Street, Newtown;

3)   Commodore Street, Newtown;

4)   Hawken Street, Newtown;

5)   John Street, Newtown;

6)   Laura Street, Newtown; and

Permit Parking

The proposal is to restrict parking to 2-hours between 8am-10pm, Permit Holders Excepted Area M14, at the front of residential properties at the subject section of Alice Street, Newtown.

In March 2016, a number of surrounding streets including sections along Alice Street had been adopted by Council as part of the Area M14 precinct with Permit Parking zones. The streets included; Pearl Street, Little Commodore Street, Commodore Street, Hawken Street, John Street and Laura Street (please refer to the locality map and photographs).

Residents in the section of Alice Street were consulted although this section of Alice Street was not proposed for changes at the time due to its distance away from the Newtown commercial precinct. However, residents in the subject section since the introduction of the Area M14 scheme have found it increasingly difficult to find a parking space.

Item No:         T0716 Item 23

Subject:         Australia Street, Camperdown - Installation of Statutory ‘No Stopping’ Restrictions at Eton Street
(Stanmore Ward/Newtown)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/72424.16         

Prepared By: Jennifer Adams - Traffic and Road Safety Officer, Marrickville  

Authorised By: Wal Petschler - Manager Design and Investigation, Marrickville

 

SUMMARY

Representations have been received from two citizens of Eton Street, Camperdown regarding parking on the southern corner of Eton Street at its junction with Australia Street. The citizens have supported the installation of statutory 'No Stopping' signage on Australia Street immediately south of Eton Street.

It is recommended that a ‘No Stopping’ restrictions sign be installed on the west side of Australia Street for a distance of 10 metres south from its intersection with Eton Street to improve sight lines and define the boundaries for on-street legal parking in this high demand parking area.

 

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT:

1.       installation of a ‘No Stopping’ restriction sign on the west side of Australia Street for a distance of 10 metres south from its intersection with Eton Street, Camperdown be APPROVED to improve sight lines and define the boundaries for on-street legal parking in this high demand parking area; and

2.       the citizens and Council Parking Officers be advised in terms of this report.  

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

Concerns have been raised by two citizens of Eton Street, Camperdown regarding vehicles often parked in Australia Street within the statutory 10 metre No Stopping zone restricting sightlines for motorists exiting Eton Street. There is a factory driveway 6 metres from the corner and often vehicles park illegally, between the corner and the driveway, blocking sightlines for motorists exiting Eton Street, Camperdown.  (Refer to the attached locality map and photographs).

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The cost of installing a ‘No Stopping’ sign 10 metres on the western side of Australia Street south of Eton Street is approximately $300 and can be met form Council’s signs and line markings budget.

 

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

Australia Street is a local residential street which runs north-south between Parramatta Road, Camperdown and Alton Lane, Newtown. Eton Street is a local residential street which runs east-west between Australia Street and Denison Street, Camperdown.

Statutory 10 metre ‘No Stopping’ restrictions are signposted on three of the legs of the intersection of Australia Street and Eton Street, Camperdown. The west side of Australia Street south of Eton Street is presently not signposted with the statutory ‘No Stopping’ restrictions. It is noted that the factory driveway located on Australia Street 6 metres south from the corner of Eton Street, Newtown lies within the statutory 10 metre No Stopping zone. The width of the driveway is 3.5 metres.

A site inspection revealed that vehicles park in Australia Street right on the southern junction with Eton Street which reduces sight distance at this junction. It was also observed that there is a reasonably high demand for parking in Australia Street and the surrounding area.

A search through Council’s crash database revealed no reported injury crashes over a five-year period between July 2010 and June 2015 at the subject intersection.

Council Rangers were tasked to monitor the subject location over several months and 5 Penalty Infringement Notices (PINS) have been issued at this locality in the last five months (January 2016 to May 2016).

 

Technical Issues

In accordance with the Australian Road Rules, a ‘No Stopping’ zone is mandatory for a distance of 10 metres from an intersecting road without traffic signals.  Pursuant to the RMS’ Technical Directions, it is stated that signposting at an unsignalised intersection (without pedestrian crossing) “should only be required where there is a compliance problem or there is adjoining signposting”.  In this case there is a compliance problem.

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

No consultation is required, as the proposed signage would enforce the current Australian Road Rules. However, adjacent residents will be notified of the proposed changes prior to the installation of signage.

SUMMARY

A resident of Station Street, Newtown raised concerns with vehicles being parked in Camden Lane opposite their garage and therefore restricting vehicular access into and out of their garage.

 

It is recommended that the existing statutory 'No Stopping' restrictions on the eastern side of Camden Lane be extended 2 metres northward to a distance of 12 metres from its intersection with Camden Street, Newtown to improve vehicular access to residents’ off-street parking.

 

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT a proposal to extend the existing statutory ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on the east side of Camden Lane by 2 metres northward to a distance of 12 metres from its intersection with Camden Street, Newtown be APPROVED to improve vehicular access into and out of residents’ off-street parking.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

Concerns have been raised by a resident of Station Street, Newtown that vehicles are often parked in Camden Lane opposite their garage restricting vehicular access into and out of their garage. The resident advised that the problem is due to vehicles parking on the opposite side of the laneway, this is compounded by the narrow width of the laneway and that the laneway is busy.

 

The applicant’s property is located on the eastern side of Station Street and has one off-street car parking facility, accessed from Camden lane. (Refer to the attached locality map and photographs).

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The cost of the relocation of the existing ‘No Stopping’ sign 2 metres northward on the eastern side of Camden Lane is approximately $300 and can be met form Council’s signs and line markings budget.

 

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

Camden Lane runs north-south between Camden Street and a dead-end and has a narrow carriageway which is 4.5 metres in width.

Extend existing ‘No Stopping’ restrictions northward by 2 metres on the eastern side of Camden Lane

 

 

 

At present, ‘No Parking’ restrictions are in place along the entire western side of Camden Lane. These restrictions were installed in 2002 to improve vehicular access to the laneway and to off-street parking facilities. In 2012 ‘No Stopping’ signs were installed on both sides of Camden Lane at its intersection with Camden Street, Newtown to deter illegal parking and improve access for turning motorists.

 

It should be noted that laneways were generally built to provide service access for properties and access into off-street parking facilities.

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

On 2 May 2016 eighteen (18) letters were sent out to surrounding owners/occupiers notifying them that Council was proposing to extend the existing statutory ‘No Stopping’ restrictions in Camden Lane on the eastern side by 2 metres northward from its intersection with Camden Street, Newtown to improve resident’ access to off-street parking.

 

The closing date for submissions ended on 20 May 2016. No responses were received, however on 9 June 2016 a citizen rang Council objecting to the sign relocation as it would take out parking in the laneway and may encroach upon his proposed driveway widening. The citizen was requested to put his objection into writing; to date nothing has yet been received into Council regarding his objection or application to widen his driveway. It was clarified with the resident that laneways were generally built to provide service access for properties and access into off-street parking facilities and not for parking.

 

 

CONCLUSION

In order to provide clear vehicular access to the applicant's off-street parking facility, it is recommended that the the existing statutory 'No Stopping' restrictions on the eastern side of Camden Lane be extended 2 metres northward to a distance of 12 metres from its intersection with Camden Street, Newtown.

Item No:         T0716 Item 27

Subject:         Local Route 16 (Addison Road) - Draft Concept Plan for Public Exhibition
(Stanmore Ward/Summer Hill & Newtown)
  

File Ref:         16/6022/72537.16        

Prepared By: Benny Horn - Cycling Planner, Marrickville 

Authorised By: Wal Petschler - Manager Design and Investigation, Marrickville

 

SUMMARY

Council has developed a draft concept plan for public exhibition proposing improvements to Local Route 16, a bicycle route connecting Addison Road, Petersham (at Livingstone Road) and Juliett Street, Marrickville via Enmore Park.

The draft concept plan proposes route improvements to make bike riding safer, more comfortable and more convenient.  A secondary route option is shown in some sections to address preliminary feedback from Roads and Maritime Services.  The proposed improvements seek to address bicycle safety risks on Addison Road associated with the existing bicycle shoulder/shared parking (car door) lanes, pinch points, and close overtaking of bicycles on narrow sections of road.

Localised changes associated with the proposed bike route improvements will result in the net gain of 11 on-street parking spaces and require the minor relocation of one bus stop.

This report recommends the draft concept plan be placed on public exhibition for 28 days, with a further report to be prepared detailing outcomes of consultation and the final concept plan.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT:

1.       the draft concept plan for Local Route 16 be placed on public exhibition for 28 days; and

2.       following public exhibition, a final report be prepared detailing outcomes of consultation and the final concept plan.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

In 2007, Marrickville Council adopted its Bicycle Plan following consultation with relevant stakeholders, including the local community.  A key objective of the Bicycle Plan is to make cycling easier, safer and more attractive and reduce community car use.  The Bicycle Plan identifies a network of ‘regional routes’ (RR) and ‘local routes’ (LR) to cater for a range of trip purposes.  Local routes link residents and visitors with public transport, local destinations such as schools and shops, with regional routes for destinations further afield.

In 2015/16, Council received a grant from Transport for NSW (TfNSW) to develop a concept plan for Local Route 16 (LR16), and Council subsequently engaged a consultant to undertake this work.  The draft concept design has now been completed and is presented in this report.  TfNSW has since provided a further grant to develop detailed designs for LR16 in 2016/17.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Nil.

 

 

OFFICER COMMENTS

Council has developed a draft concept plan for improvements to Local Route 16 (LR16), a bicycle route running from Addison Road (at Livingstone Road) to Juliett Street via Enmore Park (Figure 1).  The plan incorporates feedback from preliminary engagement with the community and other stakeholders.

 

Figure 1 LR16 between Livingstone Road and Juliett Street

 

 

Community Strategic Plan and Marrickville Bicycle Plan

Marrickville Council’s Community Strategic Plan identifies strategies to promote bike riding:

 

Outcome

 

Strategies

3.3  The community walks, rides bikes and uses public transport

 

3.3.1  Plan and provide accessible and well-connected footpaths, cycleways and associated facilities

 

 

3.3.2  Promote accessibility of railway stations and bus stops

 

 

3.3.3  Support and promote cycling, walking and use of public transport and other alternative modes to reduce car use

3.4  Marrickville’s roads are safer and less congested

 

3.4.2  Reduce the impact of traffic and improve pedestrian and cyclist safety, particularly around schools and urban centres

 

 

Consistent with the Community Strategic Plan, the draft concept plan proposes improvements that promote bike riding by making it safer, more comfortable and more convenient for people of all riding abilities.

The LR16 improvements will improve bicycle connections to/from:

·   public transport (including the high frequency bus corridor at Enmore Road);

·   local destinations, including Marrickville Metro, Addison Road Community Centre, Annette Kellerman Aquatic Centre, Enmore Park, local shops and schools; and

·   intersecting bike routes, such as RR5 to Newtown, Marrickville shops and the Cooks River.

Current bike riding conditions on Addison Road

Addison Road is a Regional Road used by 12-13,000 vehicles per day.  It is also a key east-west link for bike riders, linking residents and visitors to RR5 (to Newtown, inner Sydney and the Cooks River) at Juliett Street.  Several important local destinations are located on or near Addison Road, including the Addison Road Community Centre and markets, Enmore Park, Annette Kellerman Aquatic Centre and Marrickville Metro shopping centre.

Bicycle facilities on Addison Road between Livingstone Road and Illawarra Road presently comprise shared parking lanes in both directions, in which bike symbols direct bicycles to travel in the parking lane rather than the traffic lane.  This treatment is unsafe as it directs bicycles into the ‘car door zone’ (Fig 2), where risk of collision with opening car doors is high.

 

Figure 2 Shared parking (‘car door zone’) lane on Addison Road

 

On Addison Road between Illawarra Road and Enmore Road, there are presently no roadmarkings, and bicycles travel either in the car door zone or in the traffic lane.

Safety risks to bike riders in the shared parking lanes are exacerbated by several pinch points along Addison Road (e.g. at pedestrian median refuges), in which bicycles are ‘squeezed out’ and must abruptly merge into and out of the traffic lane.  The varying and narrow conditions also make overtaking of bicycles by motorists dangerous on some sections of Addison Road.

There have been five reported collisions involving bicycles on Addison Road since 2010, including two ‘car door’ crashes.  Reflecting perceived and actual bike safety risks on Addison Road, complaints about bicycles travelling on the footpaths (to avoid using the road) have resulted in signs being erected to direct bicycles away from the footpaths.

 

Proposed LR16 improvements

The draft concept plan proposes improvements to LR16 to eliminate safety risks associated with the existing shared parking lane facility.  The proposed changes also reflect preliminary stakeholder input that indicated a strong preference for a bike route on Addison Road rather than alternative streets, given the important local destinations located along Addison Road.

The proposed changes include:

Addison Road, between Livingstone Road and Illawarra Road (970 metres)

·    Eastbound – replace the existing shared parking lane treatment with a 3.3m mixed traffic lane treatment (i.e. bike roadmarkings and bicycles in the traffic lane) that limits overtaking of bicycles along Addison Road.  While mixed traffic treatments are not considered ideal on roads with high traffic volumes such as Addison Road, they may be suitable for eastbound travel on Addison Road as the downhill grade increases bike speeds and thus minimises delay to motor vehicles.

·    Westbound – replace the existing shared parking lane with the following:

bike shoulder lane from Illawarra Road to England Avenue (length 100m);

one-way separated bike path from England Avenue to Coronation Avenue (650m);

bike shoulder lane from Coronation Avenue to Audley Street (140m); and

shared path between Audley Street and Livingstone Road (80m).

 

The hybrid uphill (westbound) bike path and downhill (eastbound) mixed traffic arrangement provides a high degree of protection for westbound bike riders, where the speed differential between bicycles and motor vehicles is likely to be higher and thus passing of bicycles will occur more frequently.  Bike riders travelling in the mixed traffic lane downhill more easily reach higher speeds, thus integrating better into the traffic lane and causing minimal delay to motorists behind them.  This type of paired treatment has been implemented on Campbell Street, Surry Hills (520 metres in length), with the mixed traffic component of the treatment considered appropriate for more confident bike riders.  Recognising that less confident riders will be reluctant to use this treatment, a secondary eastbound route option via Newington Road is also proposed.  The secondary route option is described in the next section.

 

Addison Road, between Illawarra Road and Enmore Road (500 metres)

·    New linemarking and bike roadmarkings to provide mixed traffic lanes in both directions.

 

Enmore Park to Juliett Street (310 metres)

·    Utilise existing 3.5m east-west path through Enmore Park as a shared path; and

·    Add bike roadmarkings to the traffic lanes on Wilcox Lane.

 

Associated changes to accommodate the route improvements

·    Bike lanterns at Livingstone Road to enhance access to/from Addison Road;

·    Advanced bicycle stop line (eastbound), bike lanterns and kerb ramps at the intersection of Addison Road and Enmore Road to enhance access to/from Enmore Park;

·    Localised removal of on-street parking on Addison Road and provision of 90 degree angled parking on Coronation Avenue, Bright Street and England Avenue, resulting in the net gain of 11 parking spaces along the route;

·    Relocation of the bus stop located east of Neville Street to the west of Neville Street;

·    Minor adjustments to linemarking and pedestrian median refuges on Addison Road;

·    Installation of pedestrian crossings to improve pedestrian safety and access across Addison Road (subject to Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) warrants).  Proposed locations are near John Street, East Street, England Avenue and Denby Street;

·    Kerb build-outs at intersections of Wemyss Street, Shepherd Street, Philpott Street and Cook Road to improve pedestrian safety and access;

·    Shared environment intersection treatment at the intersection of Audley Street (south).

 

Secondary route option (via Newington Road)

A secondary eastbound option via Albert Street and Newington Road is proposed, to provide:

·    a more comfortable route using quieter local streets for less confident bike riders, and/or

·    an alternative route option addressing preliminary RMS and Sydney Buses feedback.

 

Newington Road is not considered suitable for westbound (uphill) bike riders due to the steep grade. The secondary route would also lengthen eastward bike trips to Addison Road Community Centre (via England Avenue) by about 500m and to Enmore Park by 400m. 

The secondary route comprises the following changes:

Addison Road, between Livingstone Road and Coronation Avenue (220 metres)

·    Proposed shared path extended 140m east from Audley Street to Coronation Avenue.

 

Eastbound route, from Coronation Avenue to Enmore Park (1,620 metres)

·    Mixed traffic lanes on Albert Street, Newington Road, Philpott Street and Cowper Street;

·    Bike lanterns at Enmore Road and Llewellyn Street to provide access to Enmore Park; and

·    Mixed traffic lanes on England Avenue to provide a mid-route link to Addison Road.

 

The secondary route option addresses RMS and Sydney Buses concerns about potential delays to eastbound bus operations on Addison Road, by diverting eastbound bike riders to Newington Road.  Addison Road is served by five 428 bus services (eastbound) per hour in the AM peak period.  Preliminary analysis indicates that the potential delay to buses travelling with bicycles from Livingstone Road to Illawarra Road would be up to 50 seconds.  However, as buses would pull out of the traffic lane at up to four bus stops on this section of Addison Road, it is more likely that potential delays to bus travel time could range from 0-40 seconds.

 

 

Other route and treatment options

Other options have also been evaluated but discounted, with the reasons set out below:

Other LR3 option

Rationale for not supporting this option

Retain existing shared parking lane conditions on Addison Road

The present shared parking lanes on Addison Road are unsafe for bicycle riders, due to safety risks associated travelling in the car door zone and through pinch points.

Provide bike shoulder lanes

Bike shoulder lanes are considered unsuitable for Addison Road, as they provide no separation between bicycles and parked cars.

The draft concept plan proposes bike shoulder lanes for two 100m transition sections of the westbound route only, in order to minimise the removal of on-street parking.

Provide a shared path on the existing footpath along Addison Road

Shared paths would require widening of the existing footpath to 2.5m to accommodate two-way bike and pedestrian movements.  This would require removal a significant number of street trees and substantial loss of amenity for pedestrians and residents.

The draft concept plan proposes a 200m shared path on Addison Road between Livingstone Road and Coronation Avenue only, as part of the secondary route option via Newington Road.  This avoids removal of on-street parking on this section.  There is sufficient space to accommodate path widening with no removal of trees and localised narrowing.

Provide a bike path without removing a parking lane

Addison Road varies in width from 10.6m-12.8m.  It is not wide enough to accommodate a protected bike path, two traffic lanes suitable for buses and two parking lanes.

Provide a bike path by removing a parking lane

The removal of a parking lane on Addison Road is unsuitable given high demand for residential on-street parking in this area.

Use an alternative route

There are no alternative east-west routes that provide a reasonably direct option for bike riders.  Newington Road is proposed as a secondary, less direct route for eastbound bike riders but is not suitable as a westbound option.

 

On-street parking

The proposed LR16 route improvements provide a net gain of 11 parking spaces, comprising:

·    localised removal of 24 on-street parking spaces on Addison Road; and

·    Provision of 35 new (90 degree angled) parking spaces on Coronation Avenue, Bright Street and England Avenue.

Proposed changes to on-street parking provision are presented in the concept plan and consultant’s report (attached) and summarised in the following table:

Improved pedestrian amenity

The LR16 draft concept plan proposes new pedestrian crossings on Addison Road to enhance pedestrian safety, amenity and access across Addison Road.  The proposed locations are near the intersections of John Street, East Street, England Avenue and Denby Street.

The installation of pedestrian crossings is subject to RMS warrants.  Counts undertaken in early June 2016 indicate that the proposed crossings near England Avenue and Denby Street are most likely to be eligible for consideration for pedestrian crossings.

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Preliminary consultation with internal and external stakeholders, including the local community, to identify LR16 route options was undertaken in February and March 2016.  This included:

·    An online discussion forum on Council’s ‘Your Say Marrickville’ website

·    Liaison with Bike Marrickville as a key external stakeholder

·    Workshopping of ideas with internal stakeholders at Council.

 

Feedback and suggestions received were considered and have been incorporated into the concept plans where feasible.  A summary of the issues raised is set out below.

 

Community engagement

A ‘Your Say Marrickville’ online discussion forum was established to seek preliminary input into route options for three local routes including LR16.  The online forum was advertised to the community and other stakeholders using social media and signposting along the proposed routes, and was active from 17 February to 16 March 2016.  Sixteen comments pertaining to the three local routes were received from nine contributors, with 12 (75%) comments about the Addison Road route.

Internal stakeholders

In March preliminary options were presented to internal stakeholders at Council - including Council officers from Infrastructure Planning & Property; Design and Investigation; Planning Services; Environmental Services; Culture & Recreation Services; and Corporate Strategy & Communications teams.  Comments received raised the following issues:

Issue

Comments

Preferred route

Addison Road is preferred to Newington Road due to directness and the presence of many local destinations along Addison Road;

Pedestrian refuges are pinch points for bike riders – consider consolidating and upgrading into pedestrian crossings.

Route treatments

Consider an uphill bike lane with downhill mixed traffic on Addison Road between Livingstone Road and Illawarra Road

Parking

Consider opportunities to offset any parking spaces removed on Addison Road with angled parking on wide side streets

 

 

Bike Marrickville

Council’s Cycling Planner met with Bike Marrickville on 15 March to present the consultant’s initial analysis of options and seek feedback.  Comments received raised the following issues:

Issue

Comments

Preferred route

Addison Road is a valuable route due to the number of local destinations;

Newington Road is indirect and very narrow at the eastern end

Route treatments

A westbound (uphill) bike path on Addison Road is supported

 

 

RMS

Consultation with RMS representatives commenced during the development of the draft concept plan in mid-May 2016.  RMS have verbally indicated concerns with the proposed treatment on Addison Road due to the potential delays to eastbound buses, with written feedback confirming RMS comments not yet provided.

Preliminary consultation with STA representatives commenced during the development of the draft concept plan in mid-May 2016.  STA raised concerns about potential safety risks and delays to eastbound buses of the proposed eastbound mixed traffic lane on Addison Road, and stated a preference for on-street parking to be removed on one side of Addison Road to accommodate a separated bike path.  STA also provided minor comments regarding bus stop modifications, and indicated that the bus stop on Addison Road near East Street is under consideration for removal.

Addressing RMS and STA concerns about potential delays to eastbound buses on Addison Road, Council’s draft concept plan includes a secondary route which diverts eastbound bike riders to Newington Road.  Further consultation with RMS and STA will take place during the public exhibition period as part of the determination of the preferred route option.

CONCLUSION

The draft concept plan for LR16 proposes changes that will contribute to Council’s vision of increasing sustainable modes of transport and reducing car use in the community by encouraging bike riding and improving rider safety, comfort and convenience.  Addressing initial feedback from RMS, additional route options are provided on sections of the route.

The proposed changes will result in a net increase of 11 on-street parking spaces on Addison Road and adjacent side streets, comprising localised removal of parking spaces on Addison Road to accommodate route improvements and new angled parking on three side streets.

This report recommends that the draft concept plan for LR16 be placed on public exhibition for 28 days.  Affected residents, businesses and other stakeholders including RMS will be consulted on the draft concept plans during the public exhibition period.  A further report detailing outcomes of consultation and a revised concept plan will be presented to the Committee for endorsement.

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

7 July 2016

 

Item No:         T0716 Item 28

Subject:         73 Mary Street, St Peters - Proposed Weekend Markets at ‘Precinct 75’
(Marrickville Ward/Heffron)
 

File Ref:         16/6022/73280.16        

Prepared By: Jennifer Adams - Traffic and Road Safety Officer, Marrickville 

Authorised By: Wal Petschler - Manager Design and Investigation, Marrickville

 

SUMMARY

An application has been received to hold temporary weekend markets at 73 Mary Street, St Peters (‘Precinct 75’) monthly on Saturdays with consecutive Saturday and Sunday markets to be held quarterly during the calendar year with a capacity of 60 stalls operating between the hours of 8.00am and 5.00pm

The application is required to be referred to the Traffic Committee for consideration under State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) 2007.

Comments of the Traffic Committee will be referred to Council’s Development Assessment Section for consideration in determining the Development Application.

 

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT the report be received and noted.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

On 23 December 2015 Council received a development application (DA201500743) to hold temporary weekend markets at 73 Mary Street, St Peters (‘Precinct 75’) up to 4 times a month on any given Saturday or Sunday. The markets were held without Council’s permission once in November 2015 and again in December 2015, as well as several times in early 2016. The application was withdrawn on 30 March 2016.

In May 2016 another development application was received (DA201600217) to hold similar weekend markets at 73 Mary Street, St Peters (‘Precinct 75’) monthly on Saturdays with consecutive Saturday and Sunday markets to be held quarterly during the calendar year with a capacity of 60 stalls operating between the hours of 8.00am and 5.00pm.

Essentially, the latest DA seeks approval for temporary weekend markets with 20 less stalls and less market days (down from 4 times a month on any given Saturday or Sunday to one a month with consecutive Saturday and Sunday markets quarterly). However, regardless of the number of stalls and/or market days previous traffic related concerns remain. Namely, there is insufficient parking on-site to contain the proposed activity and consequently, on any market day, there will be significant utilization of the available on-street parking, thereby impacting directly on adjoining local residents.

The premise that less stalls will generate less traffic is short-sighted and if the popularity of the markets grow (like the Sunday Markets at Addison Road) vehicular traffic attracted to the site will increase and so will parking demand. The present car park is generally full on a typical working day with existing patrons and businesses. On a weekend usually, the applicant states, not all premises are open and demand respectively drops. The applicant provided two photos of parking on Saturday 28 May 2016 which indicated around 30 vehicles parked.

 

 

A site visit by a Council Officer on Wednesday 25 May 2016 indicated that 98 vehicles were parked in the Edith Street car park area and three (3) vehicles were circulating to find parking. It is noted that the configuration of the carpark had changed and temporary line markings and markers are now present. It is also noted that the present configuration does not fully conform to Australian Standards for off-street parking.

Previous traffic reports from the applicant failed to address accurately the traffic and parking concerns and it is considered this remains the case with the revised Traffic and Parking Study report (dated 4 May 2016) and the new Traffic Management Report. It is noted that parking demand cannot be established definitively from the surveys undertaken or the underlying assumptions given. It is undeniable that using the site for weekend markets will generate an additional parking demand.

The site plan supplied now shows:

·   96 on-site car parking spaces, however the present ‘marked’  spaces in the existing car park do not meet Council’s current layout requirements (ie. minimum car parking layout is 5.4m by 2.5m “clearly marked”) with some spaces being unworkable on the ground (ie spaces marked. No. 9 and 69).

·   There is no additional widening for end bays, that is where the fence forms the side of the end space (eg. 27, 41, 55 and 69).

·   Aisle widths are substandard (minimum required aisle width is 6.2m).

·   Council controls generally discourage angle parking (spaces 89 to 96).

 

Making the car parking spaces ‘smaller’ to squeeze more vehicles into the car park does not adequately address the overall lack of parking provision required for any market operations on the site. The off-street car park already operates at capacity on normal week days.

Stall size has not been detailed. The supplied plan shows stall locations and some stalls are located in places that have the potential to block access for emergency vehicles should any emergency (eg. fire) occur on the site (A9-12). A clear unobstructed path of travel of not less than 4 metres wide for emergency vehicle access must be maintained throughout the site at all times to provide safe egress in case of fire or other emergency during ordinary operation of the Precinct as well as during any markets.

It remains, with the amended application even with less stalls, that the markets will have a detrimental impact, especially in regards to parking. On-street parking in the locality generally on week days and weekends is at capacity now with residential and local business parking, according to a local resident that address the previous PCTCAC meeting in March 2016.

It is noted that the previous application was withdrawn and that there were 37 objections and 2 supporting submissions.

OFFICER COMMENTS

Site Location

The site is located at 74 Mary Street, St Peters and has street frontages on both Mary Street and Edith Street. Vehicles may access the site from a single entrance on Mary Street and two entry points on Edith Street. There is an on-site parking area accessed by Edith Street. There are currently 11 existing buildings on the site of various heights ranging from one to three storeys as well as a cottage and three residential dwellings. The surrounding land use is predominately residential, characterised by one and two storey development.

Edith Street is a two-way local residential street running northwest-southeast between Unwins Bridge Road and Princes Highway and carries around 650 vehicles per day. At present, unrestricted parking is permitted on both sides of Edith Street. The carriageway in Edith Street at its western end is 7.9 metres wide and narrows down to 6.4 metres in width at its midpoint.

Mary Street is a narrow (6.4 metres) local street, operating “one-way” in a north-westerly direction from Princes Highway to Unwins Bridge Road.  The street has mixed industrial and residential development and presently carries around 7,000 vehicles a day, the majority of which is through traffic from Canal Road.  Some traffic calming measures in the form of light traffic (3 tonne) restrictions and three speed humps were installed in 1992 as part of the Sydenham LATM Scheme.

Parking Provision

General - Inadequate Parking Provision

In the previous application concerns were raised about the number of on-site (off-street) car parking spaces which were provided and these concerns have not changed with this application. The new configuration of parking spaces proposes 96 on-site car parking spaces. An investigation by a Council Officer estimated that is around 85 workable spaces.

 

It is noted that some of the present ‘marked’ spaces (with pink paint and yellow markers on a dirt surface) in the actual car park do not meet Council’s current parking space size requirements of 5.4m by 2.5m. Also there is no additional widening of spaces (1 metre required) where the fence forms the side of the end spaces (eg. 27, 41, 55 and 69) as per Australian Standard AS 2890.1 ‘Off-street car parking’. 

 

P5270014

P5270016

 

Parking bay width and length, and aisle widths are inter-related dimensions. Parking bay widths can vary with different types of user, and aisle width can vary depending on whether the aisle is primarily serving an access or circulation function on the width of the bay. Minimum required aisle width is 6.2m and angle parking is generally discouraged (spaces 89 to 96).

Concerns remain about the number of car parking spaces provided on-site in that residents in the surrounding streets will continue to be impacted by any overspill of parking demand generated by the markets regardless of whether there are 80 or 60 stalls. If the markets become increasingly popular this will only exacerbate the situation. Patrons, business operators, stall holders and market visitors will all be competing for parking.

The car park is full during the week and on market days as the dated aerial photographs below show.  On a non-market Saturday it is accepted that the car park may not be full.

The car park layout therefore needs to be in accordance with Australian Standards for off-street car parking (AS/NZS 2890.1:2004 and AS 2890.6:2009). Aisle and circulation road widths, size of car parking spaces, including accessible spaces which need to be correctly detailed.

 

Parking Provision Requirements - vehicles

Precinct 75 is in Council’s Parking Area 3 and parking rates specifically are not detailed in Council’s development controls. RMS’s Guide to Traffic Generating Developments state a minimum parking provision of 2 spaces per stall or a desirable rate of 2.5 spaces per stall, excluding stall holders. 60 stalls would therefore require a minimum of 120 spaces for visitors and desirable rate of 150 spaces. These rates are based on a mode split for cars of 0.80 and a reasonable availability and convenience of alternative markets in the area.

It is estimated, with 60 stalls, that conservatively at least 190 on-site car spaces need to be available for businesses (30), market stall owners (40) and visitors (120). The plan with this application shows 96 on-site spaces.

The proposed parking layout plan shows 2 (two) mobility spaces, however, one of these spaces is located in an access way area and is not considered acceptable.

 

Parking Provision Requirements – bicycles

Provision for bicycles is shown in the new layout map to be located between two buildings towards the south west corner. This space measures 3.5 metres and it is questionable whether there is enough room physically for cyclists to park and access their bicycles.

It is noted that there is another bike rack located within Precinct 75, adjacent to Building 5, it however is located on a Loading Zone. Refer to photograph below.

Council requirements note that the location and design of bicycle parking can be more important than level of provision, as poorly located and designed facilities, even if adequate in terms of capacity, may ultimately attract little use. Council’s DCP states:

“Bicycle parking should be located to have priority over car parking with regard to building entrances and lifts, and be clearly marked and easily accessible, have good surveillance, provide a means of securely locking bicycle frames and wheels and should not create a hazard for pedestrians, motorists or cyclists.”

 

The DCP also notes that the parking area must be weather protected and that it must be easily accessible from a bicycle route, footway or roadway.

 

Parking Provision Requirements - motorcycles

The new plan shows no provision for motorcycle parking. On site it was discussed with the applicant that this may be placed near the car park gates. It is noted that if this is the case some indicated vehicle parking spaces may be dislodged.

Council requires that motorcycle parking shall be provided at a rate of 5% of the development required car parking and that the minimum space for motorcycle parking spaces must be 2.5m by 1.2m and clearly marked, on flat and even surfaces.

 

Traffic Generation

RMS’s Guide to Traffic Generating Developments gives the following rates for markets - 18 trips per stall between 8.00am – 3.00pm (open for 7 hours) and peak hour vehicle trips of 4 trips per stall. 60 stalls thus would generate approximately 1,080 vehicle trips daily and 240 peak hour vehicle trips. Daily trip generation rates depend on hours of operation and the Guide states a market open for 12 hours a day would be expected to have a higher daily generation rate than that suggested.

Whether, it is 320 (80 stalls) or 240 (60 stalls)_vehicle trips in the peak hour it will most likely result in congestion on both Mary Street and Edith Street, St Peters and possibly extend beyond onto Unwins Bridge Road.

With 3 market staff on site on market day and up to 80 stall holders /workers (60 stalls staffed by 1-2 people) in addition to say 50 business users /patrons (70 businesses on-site) it is estimated conservatively that a minimum of 133 personnel will be generated on-site on market days, and large proportions of these are expected to drive vehicles to the site and will require parking. In addition, market visitors will increase numbers generated and parking demand.

 

Loading and Unloading

The applicant has now detailed a ’10 minute Loading Zone’ (approximately 18mx5m) on the left hand side (from the gate entrance near the fenced bin area) where stall holders will unload and load their goods on market days. It is unclear whether vehicles will park parallel or perpendicular in this area or what size vehicles are anticipated to use the facility.

As previously noted, stall holders are likely to require parking for the duration of the markets from set-up to pack-down, that is up to a possible 12 hour period (markets 8.00am-5.00pm and  unloading 6.30-8.00am and loading 5.00-6.30pm) and it is noted that there is very limited long term on-street parking in the area.

 

Emergency Access

A clear unobstructed path of travel throughout the site is recommended to be maintained at all times for emergency vehicle access, in order to provide safe egress in case of fire or other emergency.

At present, the new layout plan shows that the location of some stalls may be sited in the access way which would not allow for a clear emergency access path of 4m throughout the whole site.

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Nil.

 

 

CONCLUSION

Traffic matters are considered particularly important in addressing resident concerns relating to parking, traffic, pedestrian and cyclist safety. Although parking is available on-site it is considered inadequate and the markets will result in additional pressure on the immediate street parking which will impact on local residents.

Explicitly, there is insufficient parking on-site to contain the proposed activity and consequently, on any market day, neighbouring streets will be parked out at the detriment of local residents (it also includes the provision of motorcycle parking). Furthermore, the proposed layout of the carparking area results in some spaces not being compliant with relevant Australian Standards. This also extends to aisle width and provision of bicycle parking spaces.

The generation of additional traffic movements as a result of this proposal will also reduce residential amenity along Edith Street which is narrow in sections. The additional traffic generated as a result of the proposal also raises safety concerns, particularly at the intersection of Unwins Bridge Road and Edith Street due to the narrowness of Edith Street at this location.

The proposed mixed use development site was previously occupied of a mixture of a single-dwelling residential property and various bulky goods retail buildings. The site is located on the western side of Princes Highway approximately 150 metres north from its intersection with Campbell Street. The site is bounded on the eastern side by Princes Highway and is bounded on the northern and western side by Short Street and Applebee Street, respectively (refer to the attached locality map).

Surrounding land uses comprise a mixture of residential single-dwelling properties, some industrial/business uses and new mixed use developments comprising multi-storey buildings that are located on the eastern side of Princes Highway (directly opposite the site location).

 

Proposed development

The proposed development application is for the construction of a mixed use development comprising a 3 part 6 storey mixed use development consisting of 4 ground floor commercial tenancies (retail units with a cumulative floor area of 595m2), 5 live/work dwellings, 63 dwellings and 2 basement car parking levels. Off-street car parking is proposed for a total of 84 car parking spaces with a service vehicle bay in the new basement car parking. Vehicular access to the car parking facilities is to be provided via a new entry/exit driveway located approximately midway along the Short Street frontage (refer to the attached development plans).

 

Locality map of the subject site

 

Public Transport

The subject site has access to public transport services with St Peters Station being located approximately 400 metres north from the site, and bus routes (Route 348 and 422) operating along Princes Highway located approximately 10 metres south from the site.

 

Parking Provision

Council's DCP 2011 (incorporating Amendment No.1) requires provision of off-street parking as follows for Parking Area 2:

 

· Residential flat building (54 non-adaptable units)

- 0.5 parking space per 1-bedroom apartment (14 one bedroom units)

- 1.0 parking space per 2-bedroom apartment (26 two bedroom units)

- 1.2 parking space per 3-bedroom apartment (14 two bedroom units)

- 0.1 visitor parking space per apartment (54 non-adaptable units)

 

· Residential flat building (14 adaptable units)

- 1.0 accessible parking space per 1-bedroom apartment

- 1.0 accessible parking space per 2-bedroom apartment

- 1.0 accessible parking space per 3-bedroom apartment

- 0.25 visitor mobility parking space per accessible space (14 adaptable units)

 

· Business premises; retail premises; shops (4 commercial tenancies with GFA of 595m2)

- 7 parking spaces + 1 parking space per 45m2 GFA over 500m2 GFA for customers and staff

 

To comply with Council’s current DCP the proposed development should provide a total of 84 car parking spaces as follows:

 

· 55 parking spaces for residents’ and visitor parking (for the 54 non-adaptable units);

· 18 accessible parking spaces (for the 14 adaptable units);

· 10 parking spaces (for the 4 commercial tenancies with GFA of 595m2); and

· 1 accessible parking space (for the 4 commercial tenancies with GFA of 595m2).

 

The proposal provides for a total of only 84 off-street car parking spaces:

 

· 55 parking spaces for residents’ and visitor parking (54 non-adaptable units);

· 18 accessible parking spaces (14 adaptable units);

· 10 parking spaces (for the 4 commercial tenancies with GFA of 595m2); and

· 1 accessible parking space (for the 4 commercial tenancies with GFA of 595m2).

 

It should be further noted that residents of the proposed development, if approved, will not be eligible to participate in any existing or future Permit Parking Schemes in adjoining streets.

Council's DCP 2011 (incorporating Amendment No.1) requires provision of bicycle parking for a residential flat building of ‘1 per 2 units for residents + 1 per 10 units for visitors’. The development would thus require providing bicycle parking of 27 spaces for residents and 6 spaces for visitors, a total of 33 bicycle spaces for the residential units. The provision of bicycle parking for a business premises/retail premises/shops of ‘1 per 300m2 GFA for staff + 1 per 500m2 for customers if premises is over 1000m2 GFA’. The development would thus require providing bicycle parking of 2 spaces for staff. Therefore, a total requirement of 35 bicycle spaces for both residents and staff is to be provided. The development proposes 43 bicycle spaces (41 for residents and 2 for staff) on-site located on the first level of the basement car park.

 

Council's DCP 2011 (incorporating Amendment No.1) requires motorcycle (and motor scooter) parking to be provided at a rate of 5% of the car parking required for the development. The total car parking requirement for the proposed development is 84 spaces therefore 4 motorcycle spaces are required to be provided. The development proposes 4 motorcycle parking spaces on-site located on the first level of the basement car park.

 

Vehicular Access and Internal traffic circulation

Proposed vehicular access to the off-street parking spaces will be from a proposed driveway via Short Street, St Peters. The proposed driveway is to be 6.0m wide and is considered wide enough to allow for two vehicles to pass each other at the same time. The internal layout for manoeuvring allows for vehicles to enter and exit the site in a forward direction and is considered to be satisfactory.

Table 1.1 of AS2890.1:2004 assigns a user class 1a for facilities with residential, domestic and employee parking and therefore the car parking space size and parking aisle combination must be in accordance with Figure 2.2 of AS2890.1:2004. The proposed off-street parking layout meets the above requirements for user class 1a and Figure 2.2 of AS2890.1:2004.

 

Waste Management (Collection) & Vehicular Access

Access to the approved collection point must enable all collection vehicles to both enter and exit the premises in a forward direction. Collection of residential/retail waste will occur from the proposed loading dock located on the ground level (on-site) and accessed from Short Street.

The applicant’s traffic report indicated that the loading dock will be accessed by a variety of commercial vehicles up to and including 6.4m long small rigid vehicle. The report indicated that a small rigid truck will be able to enter and exit the site from Short Street in a forward direction, however did not provide any swept path diagrams to demonstrate that this can be achieved. It should be noted that Short Street has a narrow two-way carriageway with parking permitted on the southern side of the street.

The proposed development will remove all existing driveway crossings in Applebee Street and Princes Highway and provides all vehicular access via a two-way driveway crossing to be located near the middle of Short Street.

The provision of all vehicular access into and out of the proposed development, including truck access, through Short Street is considered problematic due to the narrow carriageway and existing parking on one side of the street. Therefore, the applicant would need to incorporate road widening into the proposal (approximately 3 metres in width) along the frontage of the subject site on the northern side of Short Street (between Princes Highway and Applebee Street).

The applicant is to also amend the proposed to include splay corners at the intersection of Princes Highway and Short Street, to ensure sight lines to both traffic and pedestrians are adequate.

 

Estimated Traffic Generation

The applicant's traffic consultant report stated that the estimated traffic generation from the proposed multi-storey residential and commercial components of the development proposal yields a traffic generation potential of approximately 32 vehicle trips per hour during commuter peak periods.

As per the Guide to Traffic Generating Development, Issue 2.2, October 2002, the RMS peak hour rate for high density residential flats is 0.29 trips per unit and the RMS peak hour rate for a commercial premises is 2 trips per 100m2 GFA. Therefore, with 68 proposed units, this calculates to be approximately 20 vehicle trips per peak hour and with a proposed total of 595m2 GFA for the commercial tenancies, this calculates to be approximately 12 vehicle trips per peak hour. The proposed multi-storey residential and commercial components of the development proposal yield a traffic generation potential of approximately 32 vehicle trips per peak hour.

 

These estimated traffic generation rates are considered to be acceptable and can be accommodated with the surrounding road network.

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Consultation/notification regarding the proposal would normally be undertaken by Council's Development and Planning Services as part of the development application process.

 

 

CONCLUSION

It is proposed that the following traffic related comments be forwarded to Council’s Development Assessment section:

 

1.       Currently Short Street has a narrow carriageway and has on-street parking provided for residents on the opposite side of the roadway to the proposed development. This creates problems in relation to both vehicle and truck access for the proposed development from Short Street. It is recommended that the applicant amend the proposal to widen the carriageway by 3 metres in width along the frontage of the subject site on the northern side of Short Street (between Princes Highway and Applebee Street);

 

2.       The applicant is to amend the proposal to include splay corners at the intersection of Princes Highway and Short Street, to ensure sight lines to both traffic and pedestrians are adequate; and

 

3.       The applicant is to provide a revised Traffic & Parking Impact Assessment report that includes swept path diagrams for the largest size vehicle (6.4m long small rigid vehicle) to access the site, to ensure that it can enter and exit the site in a forward direction.

·    Marrickville's streets, lanes and public spaces are sustainable, welcoming, accessible and clean

·    The community walks, ride bikes and use public transport

 

One element of delivering the above outcomes is the development of Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study and plan including recommendations.

 

The objective of local area traffic management planning is to investigate and review the performance of the existing Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) schemes and recommend proposed LATM works. The Henson LATM study was originally completed in 1998 and reviewed in 2004.

OFFICER COMMENTS

This report sets out an assessment of the traffic conditions within the Henson LATM area and includes the following:

 

·    Assessment of the traffic volumes, heavy vehicle percentages and vehicle speeds based on the traffic survey results;

·    Identification of the locations where not satisfying with Environmental Performance criteria;

·    Analysis of the accident statistics for the 5 year period from January 2006 to December 2010;

·    Review of the community’s complaints and concerns raised in the community questionnaire in relation to traffic and safety issues;

·    Review of intersection performance;

·    Assessment of the effectiveness of the existing LATM measures and ensure them compliant to the up-to-date standard;

·    Identification of further opportunities to reduce through traffic volumes and speed of traffic on local streets to address public amenity;

·    Identification of pedestrian and cyclist improvements; and

·    Development of conceptual LATM proposal options.

 

The recommendations provided in this LATM Plan align with the traffic management principles outlined in the Marrickville Integrated Transport Plan (ITS), 2007.

SUMMARY

For the Committee to consider the findings of the ‘Draft’ Lewisham Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study and plan recommendations. 

A copy of this report is provided separately (ATTACHMENT 2).

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT:

1.       the Committee endorse the draft Lewisham LATM study and plan recommendations for community consultation; and

2.       the draft report be placed on Public Exhibition, providing a minimum 28 days for submissions.

 

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

The Marrickville Community Strategic Plan (CSP) – Our Place Our Vision 2023 has key outcomes:

·    Marrickville's roads are safer and less congested

·    Marrickville's streets, lanes and public spaces are sustainable, welcoming, accessible and clean

·    The community walks, ride bikes and use public transport.

 

One element of delivering the above outcomes is the development of Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study and plan including recommendations.

The objective of local area traffic management planning is to investigate and review the performance of the existing Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) schemes and recommend proposed LATM works. The Lewisham LATM study was originally completed in 1995 and reviewed in 2004.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

OFFICER COMMENTS

This report sets out an assessment of the traffic conditions within the Lewisham LATM area and includes the following:

·    Assessment of the traffic volumes, heavy vehicle percentages and vehicle speeds based on the traffic survey results;

·    Identification of the locations where not satisfying with Environmental Performance criteria;

·    Analysis of the accident statistics for the 5 year period from January 2006 to December 2010;

The recommendations provided in this LATM Plan align with the traffic management principles outlined in the Marrickville Integrated Transport Plan (ITS), 2007.

Following the assessment of the Pedestrian, Cyclist and Traffic Calming Advisory Committee (PCTCAC), the draft report will be forwarded to Council for approval to undertake community consultation of the Draft Lewisham LATM Report.

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

The suggested LATM treatment options were informed by engagement with internal and external stakeholders. The community engagement involved a community questionnaire, stakeholder workshops and community meetings.

Marrickville Council commissioned an ‘Imagining Marrickville’ survey of residents and workers, to help identify how to improve roads and public spaces within the Marrickville LGA. Approximately 1,250 responses were received. The results of the survey were analysed with the focus on residents from within the Dulwich Hill, Lewisham and Riverside areas.

Community feedback was received on the ‘Your Say Marrickville’ website mid December 2015 and 97 responses were received.

 

 

CONCLUSION

A summary of recommendations and concept plans are detailed in ATTACHMENT 2. The Lewisham LATM review has embraced integration opportunities and multifunctional infrastructure.
