Local Traffic Committee Meeting

 

THURSDAY 2 NOVEMBER 2017

 

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 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 Inner West 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 Inner West 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 and Marrickville LAC’s;

·         one representative from the RMS; and

 

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.

The street party is proposed to be held on Saturday, 16th December 2017 between 6.00pm and 11.30pm. The applicant is seeking permission for a temporary full road closure of Short Street, Balmain, between Spring Street and Curtis Road.

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The Street Party Co-ordinator will bear all costs associated with the road closure.

 

OTHER STAFF COMMENTS

The Traffic Control Plan for the closure is as follows:

 

 

This is an annual event and no significant issues have occurred in previous years.

 

According to the RMS ‘Guide to Traffic and Transport Management for Special Events’ (Version 3.4) a small street party is considered as a ‘Class 3’ event.

 

The RMS advises that features common to all Class 3 special events are that the event:

·    does not impact local or major traffic and transport systems or classified roads

·    disrupts the non-event community in the immediate area only

·    requires Local Council and Police consent

·    is conducted on-street in a very low traffic area such as a dead-end or cul-de-sac

·    is never used for racing events.

Other features of a Class 3 special event are that it:

·    may, depending on Local Council policy, require a simplified Transport Management Plan

·    may depend on each Council's Special Events Policy and is not available in all Council areas

·    may not require advertising the event's traffic aspects to the community.

 

Council encourages properly conducted neighbourhood street parties as a means of building community spirit and improving neighbourhood security.  Fees for road occupancy are waived by Council for small community street parties.

 

Where the following conditions apply, organisers are only required to obtain approval for a street party involving a temporary road closure:

 

·    The party is to be held outdoors for fewer than 100 people

·    No temporary structures or jumping castles are to be erected,

·    Participants are to bring their own food and drinks, and food and drink are not for sale

·    There will be no performers or amplified music involved

 

For approved street parties, Council will provide barricades and ‘Road Closed’ signs free or at minimum cost.  Any non-standard signs may be provided at cost.  The Street Party Co-ordinator will need to arrange delivery by Council at cost, or arrange pickup from and return to Council’s Depot at no cost. 

 

Subject to the approval of the street party by the Traffic Committee, if required, Council’s Employee Services will undertake a risk assessment with the applicant to ensure that the event is conducted in a safe manner.

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

The proposed temporary full-road closure is currently advertised in the local newspaper for a period of 28 days.

 

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that the temporary closure of Short Street between Spring Street and Curtis Road, Balmain on Saturday 16th December 2017 be supported subject to the conditions listed in the recommendation.

All current vehicular access to adjoining properties will be retained.

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

A notification letter as well as a copy of the detailed design plan was sent on 26 September 2017 to the owners and occupiers of the affected properties in Victoria Road and Edgeware Road, Marrickville, regarding the proposed design plan to upgrade the existing at-grade pedestrian crossing to a raised pedestrian crossing at this location with a new median island and new kerb extensions including associated signs and line markings. A total of 20 letters were distributed. The closing date for submissions ended on 17 October 2017.

 

There were a total of two (2) responses supporting the proposal and there were a total of two (2) responses opposing the proposal. These responses are detailed below.

 

Residents’ Comments (supporting the proposal)

Officer’s Response

A member of the community is in support of the proposed kerb extensions and additional landscaping on the footpath in Victoria Road at its intersection with Edgeware Road. However, the proposed raised pedestrian crossing shifted to its new location was not in support and the proposed pedestrian fencing at the corners of Victoria Road and Edgeware Road are not in support.

Received and noted.

 

The location of the proposed raised pedestrian crossing and median island has been designed to accommodate turning movements of an 8.8m service vehicle (garbage truck) using swept path analysis while improving safety for pedestrians at this location. The proposed location of the devices cannot be shifted without turning movements of larger vehicles being restricted at this intersection.

A resident of Victoria Road is in support of the proposal however, they raise concerns to the loss in on-street parking as a result. Resident requested that a resident parking scheme be introduced given the mixed use of the local community with a shopping centre nearby.

Received and noted.

 

Council has recently undertaken a parking study of the area known as the Stanmore Parking Strategy. Parking utilisation surveys were undertaken in Victoria Road. It should be noted that the survey shows that the parking in the street on a weekday varied between 50-85% utilisation and parking during weekends predominantly were between 75-85% utilisation. It was also identified that parking availability in nearby streets, such as, Empire Lane and the southern end of Victoria Road (near Metro Shopping Centre) had generally lower parking occupancy rates compared to the subject location.

 

Residents’ Comments (opposing the proposal)

Officer’s Response

A member of the community is not in support of the proposed raised pedestrian crossing with median island and kerb extensions in Victoria Road at its intersection with Edgeware Road. The resident stated that the proposed location of the raised pedestrian crossing is not at the desire line of path for pedestrians walking along Edgeware Road. The resident suggested that this intersection be reviewed to propose an ‘entry only’ into Victoria Road from Edgeware Road.

The location of the proposed raised pedestrian crossing and median island has been designed to accommodate turning movements of an 8.8m service vehicle (garbage truck) using swept path analysis while maintaining safety for pedestrians at this location. The proposed location of the devices cannot be shifted without turning movements of larger vehicles being restricted at this intersection. Fencing will be installed to direct pedestrians to the new pedestrian crossing location which is only a short distance away from the existing pedestrian crossing.

A resident of Victoria Road is not in support of the proposal and would like to request that a ‘No Right Turn’ restriction from Victoria Road into Edgeware Road be introduced.

The location of the proposed raised pedestrian crossing and median island has been designed to accommodate turning movements of an 8.8m service vehicle (garbage truck) using swept path analysis while improving safety for pedestrians at this location. The proposed location of the devices cannot be shifted without turning movements of larger vehicles being restricted at this intersection.

 

It is not feasible for the introduction of a ‘No Right Turn’ restriction from Victoria Road into Edgeware Road. Currently, there are two options for vehicles to head eastbound from the Metro Shopping Centre precinct. The first option is the right turn movement from Victoria Road onto Edgeware Road which continues onto Bedwin Road and Campbell Street. The second option is the left turn movement from Murray Street onto Edinburgh Road and then onto Railway Parade and Edgeware Road via the underpass of the railway bridge. The second option consists of restrictions at the underpass and the left turn movement of Edgeware Road onto Bedwin Road at the start of the railway bridge for heavy vehicles.

 

 

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that the detailed design plan of the proposed treatment and associated signs and line markings be approved, to improve pedestrian safety and traffic conditions at this location.

Design Plan – No. 6146

 

A detailed design plan for the provision of a pedestrian refuge island in Windsor Road, Dulwich Hill, near its intersection with Weston Street and Rosedale Street, including the associated signs and line markings (ATTACHMENT - design plan No. 6146) are submitted for consideration.

 

The proposed scope of work includes the following:

 

·    Construct a pedestrian refuge island with associated signs and line markings in Windsor Road, Dulwich Hill near its intersection with Weston Street and Rosedale Street as per design plan.

·    Construct two new kerb ramps with new landscape gardens along sections of footpath in Windsor Road.

·    Install edge line ‘E1’ line markings along both sides of Windsor Road as per design plan.

·    Reinstate the statutory ‘No Stopping’ line markings at the intersection of Rosedale Street and Windsor Street as per design plan.

 

The proposed treatment will result in the loss of two (2) legal on-street car parking spaces in Windsor Road (refer to the attached design plan No. 6146). All current vehicular access to adjoining properties will be retained.

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

A notification letter as well as a copy of the detailed design plan was sent on 13 October 2017 to the owners and occupiers of the affected properties in Windsor Road, Dulwich Hill, regarding the proposed design plan to implement a pedestrian refuge island including associated signs and line markings. A total of 24 letters were distributed. The closing date for submissions ended on 27 October 2017.

 

There was a total of one (1) response supporting the proposal and there were a total of three (3) responses opposing the proposal. These responses are detailed below.

 

 

Residents’ Comments (supporting the proposal)

Officer’s Response

A resident of Windsor Road is in support of the proposal however they had raised concerns of the proposed ‘No Stopping’ zone on the southern side of Windsor Road adjacent to property no. 53 Windsor Road and whether the zone will impact the existing adjacent ‘mobility parking’ space.

Received and noted.

 

The design plans have been amended to illustrate that the existing ‘mobility parking’ space adjacent to property no. 53 Windsor Road will not be affected and remain in its current location.

 

Residents’ Comments (opposing the proposal)

Officer’s Response

A resident of Windsor Road strongly opposes to the proposal. The resident raised concerns in the loss in parking to the frontage of their property on Windsor Road as a result of the proposal.

The ‘No Stopping’ zones located on the approach and departure of the proposed pedestrian refuge island are a design requirement of the RMS technical directions.

 

It should be noted that the resident’s property has access to off-street parking and has adjacent on-street parking in Weston Street and Davis Street.

A resident of Windsor Road opposes to the proposal and requests that amendments be made to the current proposed design:

· Shift the pedestrian refuge island at least 2 metres south, towards the intersection of Windsor Road and Rosedale Street. Shift the kerb ramp 4 metres towards the corner of Rosedale Street. Making these changes will not inconvenience pedestrians or compromise safety;

· Install new edge lines on Rosedale Street (cars always park too close to the corner of Windsor Rd and block pedestrian visibility when crossing the often busy intersection); and

· Since the implementation of the Waratah Mills light rail station, there has been a significant increase in cars parking in the area, making it difficult for residents to find parking spots near their homes and more importantly a significant increase in foot traffic directly beside our property. This foot traffic occurs throughout all hours of the day and night. Many pedestrians, especially at night, are noisy and disruptive to our family life and often disturb us during sleep, meal and children's rest times.

The location of the proposed pedestrian refuge island has been designed to accommodate turning movements of an 8.8m service vehicle (garbage truck) using swept path analysis. The proposed location of the device cannot be shifted without turning movements being restricted with the adjacent streets.

 

Received and noted. The design plans have been amended to include the reinstate the existing statutory ‘No Stopping’ line markings at the intersection of Rosedale Street and Windsor Street.

 

The proposed treatment provides rationale and recommended actions to address local traffic issues and support sustainable transport. This involves encouraging the use of public transport, walking and cycling.

The proposed design will improve pedestrian safety and traffic conditions at this location. Improvements to the amenities of the streetscape should not impact on the evaluation of the property value.

 

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that the detailed design plan of the proposed treatment and associated signs and line markings be approved, to improve pedestrian safety and traffic conditions at this location.

Council has received a request to change the existing 1/4P parking restriction in front of 294-298 Norton Street, Leichhardt to a ‘Loading Zone’ to facilitate deliveries for local businesses in the area.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT a 6m ‘Loading Zone 8am-5pm Mon-Sat’ be installed on the western side of Norton Street, Leichhardt (adjacent to No. 294-298 Norton Street) replacing the existing ‘1/4P’ zone in order to better facilitate deliveries for local businesses.

Item No:              T1117 Item 12

Subject:              Smith Street, Summer Hill – Proposal for 15 min parking zone (ASHFIELD WARD/SUMMER HILL ELECTRORATE/ASHFIELD LAC)

File Ref:              17/6022

Prepared By:     Anca Eriksson - Traffic Officer  

Authorised By:  George Tsaprounis - Coordinator Traffic Engineering Services

 

SUMMARY

Council has received representations from a resident to consider establishing a 15 min parking zone adjacent to the new Post Office in Smith Street, Summer Hill.

 

The proposed 15 min parking restrictions are considered adequate for the short term parking needs of both the Post Office and the surrounding businesses.

 

It is recommended that establishment of one parking space limited to 15 minutes parking adjacent to the new Summer Hill Post Office, at 93 Smith Street, Summer Hill be approved to assist the new post office and other surrounding businesses.

 

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT a parking zone of one space (6 m length) , signposted “P 15 min, 8.30am-6.00pm Mon-Fri, 8.30am-12.30pm Sat” be approved to replace the existing 1 P restriction, on the northern side of Smith Street, Summer Hill, adjacent to No. 95 Smith Street, Summer Hill.

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

Inner West Council has received representations from a resident, requesting that Council give consideration to a proposal to install 15 minutes parking space adjacent to the new Post Office located at 93 Smith Street, Summer Hill.

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The cost of installing the parking signs can be met from Council’s Signs and Line marking operating budget.

 

OTHER STAFF COMMENTS

The proposed parking space in question is to be allocated outside neighboring businesses. Currently, the subject location is signposted as 1 hour period parking, 8:30am – 6 pm, Mon-Fri, 8:30 am – 12:30 pm Sat. The proposed 15min parking zone will provide improved turn around in parking for the space which will assist the local businesses.

CONCLUSION

Introduction of 15 min parking is considered, to be adequately, to provide for short term parking and turn over for customers to businesses in the area.  

 

It is recommended that a parking space (6 meters in length) on the northern side of Smith Street, Summer Hill., outside premises No. 95, Smith Street, be amended from one hour period parking to 15 min parking to assist torn over in parking for the new post office and other surrounding businesses

Item No:              T1117 Item 13

Subject:              EDITH STREET, LEICHHARDT – RESIDENT PARKING SCHEME (LEICHHARDT WARD/BALMAIN ELECTORATE/LEICHHARDT LAC)

File Ref:              17/6022

Prepared By:     Manod Wickramasinghe - Traffic and Parking Engineer  

Authorised By:  John Stephens - Traffic and Transport Services Manager

 

SUMMARY

Council has received correspondence from a number of residents of Edith Street (south of Marion Street), raising concerns regarding increased parking demands generated by residents, commuters, and employees/patrons of businesses in Marion Street.

 

This report provides the result of a resident parking scheme investigation in Edith Street, Leichhardt.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT the proposed Resident Parking Scheme in Edith Street (South of Marion Street) not be supported at the present time due to less than 50% support received from the consulted residents.

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

A number of residents from Edith Street, Leichhardt have requested the implementation of a Resident Parking Scheme (RPS) in their street. Consequently, an investigation proceeded and parking occupancy surveys were undertaken in Edith Street, Leichhardt in accordance with Council’s Resident Parking Scheme Policy. These surveys indicated high parking occupancy levels (equal to or over 85%) in the street.

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Nil.

 

OTHER STAFF COMMENTS

Residents were consulted with the following two resident parking scheme options in June 2017 to gauge their support for the preferred scheme:

·    Installation of ‘2P 8am-10pm, Mon-Fri, Permit Holders Excepted, Area L1’ in west side of Edith Street, Leichhardt (south of Marion Street).

·    Installation of ‘2P 8am-6pm Mon-Fri, Permit Holders Excepted, Area L1’ in east side of Edith Street, Leichhardt (south of Marion Street).

 

This proposal excludes four parking spaces on east side of Edith Street closest to the intersection with Marion Street as shown on the following plan.

 

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

 

A letter outlining the above parking proposal was mailed out to the affected properties (52 properties) in Edith Street, Myrtle Street and Marion Street Leichhardt as indicated on the attached plan, requesting residents’ views regarding the proposal. 

 

Residents’ Comments

Officer Comments

Please also consider introducing angle parking on the west side of Edith St given the street has sufficient width to support angle parking.

Council has received 3 submissions requesting angle parking be investigated in Edith Street. Therefore, this will be considered as a separate investigation.

Parking restriction will not make it easier for residents to park

 

2P parking restrictions will deter long-stay non-resident parking in Edith Street and may provide additional parking capacity for residents and short-stay visitors.

Installation of permitted parking will require council commitment to enforcing the new restrictions

Council’s Enforcement Section organises regular patrols for all existing RPS schemes. Residents can also request a patrol by contacting Council directly.

I have never understood whilst this was not in place due to the close proximity to restaurants , cafes, market place and now even a swim school. Not to mention a new block of units is near completion at the cross with Marion. Parking is almost impossible for residents post 5pm each day which is very frustrating.

Council has investigated RPS restrictions in Edith Street in the past but was unable to obtain 50% support from properties in Edith Street.

Marked parking bays would assist in maximising the use of available parking space. Many cars are badly parked because there are no markers to indicate the parking spaces.

Councils limited line marking budget has been prioritised to upgrade safety-related line marking around schools and to maintain existing assets such as pedestrian crossing and stop-control linemarking. Due to this, Council is currently not looking to line-mark bays in residential streets.

 

Please note that bay markings do not always provide an increase in parking capacity. If the parking bays are to be line marked, the standard parking bay length needs to be used. However, it is often feasible to accommodate a greater number of small and medium size vehicles.

 

Consultation survey results are summarised as follows:

 

Edith Street, Leichhardt

Number of properties                                  -           43

Number of properties responded                -          21

Number of properties supported                 -          14

Number of properties supported                 -           14       

Option Two Support Rate                                    -           33%

 

According to Council’s Resident Parking Policy, a minimum of 50% support based on all properties in the subject section of the street is required to consider the proposal favourably.

Based on the above results and the comments provided as part of the consultation process, less than 50% of the residents of Edith Street, Leichhardt support a resident parking scheme in their street at the present time.

File Ref:              17/6022

Prepared By:     David Yu - Traffic Engineer  

Authorised By:  John Stephens - Traffic and Transport Services Manager

 

SUMMARY

Council has received correspondence from a number of residents of Elswick Street, raising concerns regarding increased parking demands generated by long stay parking from non-residents and commuters.

 

This report provides the results of a residential parking scheme investigation in Elswick Street, Leichhardt.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT the proposed Resident Parking Scheme in Elswick Street not be supported at the present time due to less than 50% support received from the consulted residents.

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

A number of residents of Elswick Street, Leichhardt have requested the implementation of Residential Parking Scheme (RPS) in their street. Consequently, parking occupancy surveys were undertaken in Elswick Street, Leichhardt in accordance with Council’s Resident Parking Scheme Policy. The survey results indicated high parking occupancy levels (equal to or over 85%) in the street.

 

It should also be noted that currently in Marlborough Street, Carlisle Street, Macauley Street and Allen Street (between Cromwell and Elswick Street) there is a mixture of ‘2P’ and ‘4P’ ‘8am-10pm, Permit Holders Excepted, Area L1’ restrictions. There is also ‘P15’ restrictions on the eastern side of Elswick Street (between Currymine Lane and Marion Street).

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Nil.

 

OTHER STAFF COMMENTS

A residential parking proposal was prepared for the installation of a resident parking scheme in Elswick Street, Leichhardt. The proposal was for the following:

·    Installation of 2P 8am-10pm, Permit Holders Excepted, Area L1’, on both sides of Elswick Street between Marion Street and Allen Street.

 

The proposal is shown on the map below.

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

A letter outlining the above parking proposal options was mailed out to the affected properties (78 properties) in Elswick Street, Leichhardt as indicated on the attached plan below, requesting residents’ views regarding the proposal. 

 

Comments from residents objecting to the proposal

Residents’ Comments

Officer Comments

We really do need a dedicated parking space for the GoGet pod in Regent Street. We asked this question the last time this survey was conducted and have made the same case to GoGet.

The request for the GoGet pod will be listed for a separate investigation.

It is unfair and unreasonable to exclude some residence from being a permit holder regardless of the number of registered vehicles or off-street parking available. We pay our rates and should be entitled to park on the street as much as the next person. Every house holder should be entitled to at least 1 permit.

The Council Resident Parking Policy and parking permit eligibility criteria has been developed with careful consideration of various factors. Council also applies the RMS Permit Parking Guidelines. This allows for the permits to be fairly distributed to the residents, while considering the limited supply of on-street car parking spaces available.

 

Resident Parking permits are issued to eligible households based on the type of RPS proposed and off-street parking space available on-site. The maximum number of permits issued to a household is two (when there are no off-street parking spaces and the residence has 2 or more vehicles).

What I do have difficulty with and would like resolved is cars parking across my driveway at night, the proposed RPS will disadvantage me because I will not be eligible for a parking permit because there is a car space available at my residence, and I would not be able to use that car space in those circumstances, and would not be able to park in the 2 hour space

It should be noted that it is illegal for a vehicle to park across a driveway. Council rangers can be notified for enforcement should this occur.

 

If requested, linemarking near the driveway could also be listed for investigation.

 

A restriction till 10pm is excessive, as most commuters are at home from work by 6pm leaving adequate street parking for residents of Allen St and Elswick St. A limit to 6pm would be adequate.

Comments noted. The proposal was for a 8am to 10pm scheme and results of survey returns indicate that this is not supported at present. Should this scheme be reinvestigated in the future consideration will be given to introducing an 8am to 6pm scheme.

The 'No Stopping' zone will be very important. Currently it is something impossible to check if road is clear by reason that cars are parked on corners preventing clear visibility of oncoming traffic.

Noted.

I presume the proposed scheme is 7 days a week.

Yes, when a parking restriction does not specify any days, it is in enforcement for all days.

4 hour parking would allow visitors to park in the street (those coming to meals or social club meetings such as book club) whereas 2 hours means they would have to move their cars during the event. The problem is mostly that people come and park in the same place for days if not weeks. A 4 hour restriction would stop that but not be too inconvenient for residents and their guests.

Comments noted. The proposal was for a 2P scheme and results of survey returns indicate that this is not supported at present. Should this scheme be reinvestigated in the future consideration will be given to introducing a 4P scheme.

I am against the proposal as the 10m 'No Stopping' zones will heavily reduce the available car spaces in the street. There is no problem with commuter parking, rather there is some congestion on Friday and Saturday evenings with patrons of the Norton St and Marion St restaurants. Permanently parked trailers are also an issue.

10m ‘No Stopping’ zones must be installed at all intersections (as per NSW Road Rules) with the installation of the proposed 2P restrictions. The ‘No Stopping’ zones provide improved safety for pedestrians and drivers.

 

Consultation survey results are summarised as follows:

 

Elswick Street, Leichhardt

Number of properties                                  -           78                   

Number of properties responded                -          35

Number of properties supported                 -          21        

 

Overall Response Rate                               -           45%

Overall Support Rate                                -           27%

 

According to Council’s Resident Parking Policy, a minimum of 50% support based on all properties in the subject section of the street is required to consider the proposal favourably.

Based on the above results and the comments provided as part of the consultation process, less than 50% of the residents of Elswick Street, Leichhardt support a resident parking scheme in their street at the present time.

 

CONCLUSION

Based on the above results, the RPS proposal in Elswick Street, Leichhardt not be supported at the present time due to less than 50% support received from the consulted residents.

Item No:              T1117 Item 16

Subject:              MORTON AVENUE (LANE) LEWISHAM PROPOSED INSTALLATION OF 'NO PARKING' AND 'NO STOPPING' RESTRICTIONS (STANMORE WARD/SUMMER HILL ELECTORATE/MARRICKVILLE LAC)

File Ref:              17/6022

Prepared By:     Mary Bailey - Parking Planner  

Authorised By:  John Stephens - Traffic and Transport Services Manager

 

SUMMARY

Following representations from residents, Council is proposing to implement ‘No Parking’ and ‘No Stopping’ restrictions in Morton Avenue, (laneway section) Lewisham. The proposed restrictions would optimise parking for residents in the laneway by allowing for access to off-street parking in the laneway whilst also maintaining as much on-street parking as possible.

 

 

RECOMMENDATIONS

 

THAT:

 

1.   ’10m No Stopping’ (both sides) in Morton Avenue (laneway section) at Frazer Street be APPROVED

2.   ’10m No Stopping’ (both sides) in Morton Avenue  at the intersection with Morton Avenue be APPROVED

3.   ‘No Parking’ for a length of 25m on the eastern side of Morton Avenue (laneway section) from the end of the proposed 10m ‘No Stopping’ zone to the property boundary at the rear of 49 Morton Avenue be APPROVED

4.   ‘No Parking’ for a length of 30m on the western side of Morton Avenue (laneway section) from the end of the proposed ‘10m ‘No Stopping’ zone to the property boundary at the rear of 45 Frazer Street be APPROVED

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

The subject laneway section of Morton Avenue has a width of between 4.35 and 4.5 m. and runs north/south between Morton Avenue and Frazer Street, Lewisham. Council received correspondence from a number of residents regarding parking conditions in Morton Avenue (laneway section) and subsequently carried out an inspection and meeting with a key correspondent on site.

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The costs of the supply and installation of the signposting associated with the recommended signage and is approximately $500 and can be met from the signs and line marking operational budget.

 

 

 

OTHER STAFF COMMENTS

Correspondence to Council indicates there is strong support from residents to maintain as much parking as possible in the laneway due to a demand for on street parking in the area. In addition, a number of complaints have been received over time regarding residents having difficulty accessing off street parking in the laneway. In order to balance the need for on-street parking and the need for access to off-street parking, a number of recommendations have been made to address parking and access issues in the laneway. These recommendations are illustrated in Figure 1 below.

 

Figure 1: Existing and Proposed restrictions in Morton Avenue (laneway section)

 

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

In addition to correspondence received from residents, consultation was conducted by way of a letter to affected residents. Letters were sent to one hundred and seventeen (117) properties. Only one (1) household responded, commenting that there was sometimes difficulty navigating through the laneway due to cars being parked on both sides. The recommended restrictions allow for a staggered arrangement of parking and this will allow access for vehicles travelling through the laneway.

 

 

CONCLUSION

In order to optimize parking for residents in the area and ensure access to off street parking in the laneway it is recommended that ‘No Stopping’ and ‘No Parking’ restrictions be implemented in the laneway as detailed in the recommendations.

1.   Conversion of ‘unrestricted’ parking to 10m ‘No Stopping’ (both sides) in Frampton Lane at Frampton Avenue be APPROVED

2.   Conversion of ‘unrestricted’ parking to ‘No Parking’ on the northern side of Frampton Avenue at the rear of property nos. 116 to 120 Sydenham Road inclusive be APPROVED

3.   Conversion of ‘unrestricted’ parking to ‘No Parking’ on the southern side of Frampton Avenue opposite the rear of property nos 116-120 Sydenham Road be APPROVED

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

The subject laneway section of Frampton Lane has a width of between 4.5 m and runs east west behind property nos 114-122 Sydenham Road between Frampton Avenue and the dog leg in Frampton Lane, Marrickville.  Council received correspondence from a number of residents regarding parking conditions in Frampton Lane indicating that parked vehicles were obstructing access to off street parking for residents of Sydenham Road. Subsequently Council Officers carried out a site inspection and consultation with affected residents.

 

DISCUSSION

It should be noted that there is limited parking in Sydenham Road for the residents affected as there are clearway restrictions and ‘No Stopping’ restrictions associated with the traffic signal in Sydenham Road, immediately west of Frampton Avenue. Access to off street parking for the affected residents would improve parking opportunities for them and remove the potentially remove their vehicles from on-street parking.

 

To allow for safe safety while entering and exiting Frampton Lane at Frampton Avenue it is proposed to implement 10m Statutory ‘No Stopping’ on both sides of Frampton Lane at Frampton Avenue.

 

In addition it is recommended to implement ‘No Parking’ along both sides of the subject section of Frampton Lane in order to allow access for residents to off street parking located along the northern side of Frampton Lane. These recommendations are illustrated in Figure 1 below.

 

Figure 1: Existing and Proposed restrictions in Morton Avenue (laneway section)

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The costs of the supply and installation of the signposting associated with the recommended signage and is approximately $500 and can be met from the signs and line marking operational budget.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

In addition to correspondence received from residents, consultation was conducted by way of a letter to affected residents. Letters were sent to fourteen (14) properties. There were no objections received to the proposal. There were three (3) responses from two in favour of the proposed parking restrictions.

 

CONCLUSION

The proposal to implement ‘No Stopping’ at the intersection of Frampton Lane and Frampton Avenue will allow for safety entering and exiting the laneway. The proposal to implement ‘No Parking’  in the subject section of Frampton Lane will allow residents of Sydenham Road to access rear lane off street parking.

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 and that their application will be considered at this meeting.

 

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that ‘Mobility Parking' spaces be approved as the applicant’s properties do not have an off-street parking facility and/or 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.

SUMMARY

A detailed design plan has been finalised for the proposal to introduce a section of 90 degree angle parking in Shepherd Street, Marrickville, between property no. 6 Shepherd Street and property no. 34 Shepherd Street, as part of the Henson LATM study implementation. The proposal to introduce a section of 90 degree angle parking in Shepherd Street, Marrickville with associated signs and line markings will provide additional on-street parking opportunities and improve traffic conditions at this location.

 

Consultation was undertaken with owners and occupiers of properties adjacent to Addison Road, Albert Street and Coronation Avenue, regarding the proposal. A summary of the consultation results are presented in this report for consideration. It is recommended that the installation of 90 degree angle parking on the western side of Shepherd Street, Marrickville, between property no. 6 Shepherd Street and property no. 34 Shepherd Street, with associated signs and line markings not be approved, as there was a majority of responses opposing to the proposal from affected properties within the street. It is also recommended that an investigation for a permit parking scheme be undertaken in Shepherd Street, Marrickville.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT:

 

1.  The design of the 90 degree angle parking on the western side of Shepherd Street, Marrickville, between property no. 6 Shepherd Street and property no. 34 Shepherd Street, with associated signs and line markings (as per the attached design plan No. 6187) NOT be approved; and

BACKGROUND

Council is proposing to install a section of 90 degree angle parking restrictions with associated signs and line markings in Shepherd Street, Marrickville, between property no. 6 Shepherd Street and property no. 34 Shepherd Street.

 

This proposal is a design which was included in the recently approved Henson Local Area Traffic Management Plan (LATM) which was on public exhibition (for community comment) at the end of 2016. The LATM provides rationale and recommended actions to address local traffic issues and support sustainable transport. This involves encouraging the use of public transport, walking and cycling. The Henson LATM was endorsed and approved by Council at its meeting held on 26 April 2017.

 

The detail design plan has been finalised for the proposed devices together with the consultation and are presented in this report for consideration.

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Funding of $10,000 has been allocated by Council for the entire scope of works for Shepherd Street, Marrickville under the Henson LATM Implementation 2017/2018. These works include the installation of all the signs and line markings associated with the proposal.

 

It should be noted that there will be no cost to this project due to the outcome of the public consultation and recommendation in this report.

It was identified throughout the public consultation that a number of responses requested a resident (permit) parking scheme be introduced to Shepherd Street. Therefore, Council officers will undertake an investigation for a permit parking scheme in Shepherd Street, Marrickville.

 

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that the installation of 90 degree angle parking on the western side of Shepherd Street, Marrickville, between property no. 6 Shepherd Street and property no. 34 Shepherd Street, with associated signs and line markings not be approved, as there was Strong opposition to the proposal from affected property owners within the street. It is also recommended that an investigation for a permit parking scheme be undertaken in Shepherd Street, Marrickville.
