SUMMARY

Detailed design plans have been finalised for the proposed pedestrian and traffic improvements in Manning Street, Rozelle as part of the Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan (PAMP) adopted by the former Leichhardt Council in February 2014.

The proposed works includes kerb extension with garden beds, pedestrian ramps with associated signposting and line marking on Manning Street at Darling Street, Rozelle.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT the detailed design plan for the kerb extension with associated garden beds, pedestrian ramps, associated signposting and line marking in Manning Street, Rozelle (as per the attached plan No. 10029) be approved.

DISCUSSION

The Member for Balmain requested for the one-way Shared Zone be made two-way for cyclists to allow cyclists access to Manning Street properties from Darling Street. Council Officers advised that ‘Bicycles Excepted’ signage .. be added underneath the One-Way signage.

Councillor da Cruz asked whether the existing Shared Zone could be extended to the intersection of Darling Street. The RMS representative advised that there may have been a reason for the Shared Zone terminating early; however, the representative did not anticipate issues with relocating the ‘End Shared Zone’ signage to the intersection.

The representative for the Inner West Bicycle Coalition requested for bicycle symbols to be marked on Manning Street. Council Officers advised that bicycle symbols are not typically installed in Shared Zones as speeds are already limited through the zone.

Councillor da Cruz asked whether there is a ‘No Right Turn’ at Darling Street into Manning Street. Council Officers stated that a ‘No Right Turn’ can be investigated at this location.

The Committee members agreed to amend the recommendation to relocate the Shared Zone signage to Darling Street, add ‘Bicycles Excepted’ signage on the one-way signage and investigate the need for a ‘No Right Turn’ sign in Darling Street.

LTC1018 Item 7 Pidcock Street, CAMPERDOWN - Proposed footpath reconstruction and formalisation of existing angled parking – Design Plan 6203 (STANMORE WARD /NEWTOWN ELECTORATE/ INNER WEST LAC)

SUMMARY

A detailed design plan has now been finalised for the proposed footpath reconstruction and formalisation of the existing angled parking improvements in Pidcock Street, Camperdown along its entire length as part of Council’s identified asset improvements program.

Consultation was undertaken with owners and occupiers of properties in Pidcock Street regarding the proposal. A summary of the consultation results are presented in this report for consideration. It is recommended that the proposed detailed design plan be approved.

Officer’s Recommendation

That the detailed design plan (Design Plan No.6203) for the proposed footpath reconstruction and formalisation of the existing angled parking improvements in Pidcock Street, Camperdown along its entire length be APPROVED.

DISCUSSION

Councillor da Cruz requested that during construction, the sandstone gutter be reconstructed rather than replaced with concrete as proposed. Council Officers advised that while the sandstone kerbing will be reinstated the street is very flat and concrete gutters have been proposed to allow water to flow freely and prevent ponding. Council Officers also advised that the sandstone will be salvaged and reused as appropriate.

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

LTC1018 Item 8 Local Bicycle Route 3 (LR3) - Detailed Design Plans (Marrickville Ward/Summer Hill Electorate/Inner West LAC)

SUMMARY

In November 2016, Council approved final concept plan for proposed improvement to Local Route 3 (LR3) bicycle route, identified in Council’s Bicycle Plan. LR3 is located along Livingstone Road, from Randall Street to Marrickville Park. The aim of the proposal is to make LR3 bicycle route safer, convenient and more enjoyable for people of all ages and ability to ride.

The draft design plans are based on the approved concept plan and are presented in this report for the Local Traffic Committee’s consideration. The proposed improvements will complete missing links in Council’s bicycle network and enhance bicycle access to public transport, local shops and other destinations.

It is recommended that the detail design for LR03 to enhance bicycle connectivity to public transport, local shops and other destination be APPROVED, and subsequently, Council submits Traffic Signal Design plans for Marrickville Road intersection to RMS for consideration and approval.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT:

1.   The  detailed design plan  (Design  Plan  No  6176)  for  Local  Bicycle Route 3 be APPROVED; and

2.   Council submits design plans to the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) for bicycle upgrades to the signalised intersection of Marrickville Road and Livingstone Road for their consideration and approval.

DISCUSSION

The representative for Transit Systems requested that Council ensure changes to bus shelters are compliant under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). The representative stated that the Adshel bus shelter close to Marrickville Road may limit the space for a person with a disability or pram to access the bus stop.

The representative for the Member for Balmain outlined his objections to the proposed carriageway configuration for a 2m bidirectional cycle lane due to safety concerns.

The RMS representative requested that the 2.7m eastbound lane on Livingstone Road, be widened by setting back the proposed new kerb lines at the mixed traffic zones.

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation with an additional recommendation to investigate widening the eastbound travel lane on Livingstone Road.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

1.    The  detailed design plan  (Design  Plan  No  6176)  for  Local  Bicycle Route 3 be APPROVED;

2.    Council investigate increasing the 2.7m eastbound travel lane on Livingstone Road adjacent to the threshold treatments at Marrickville Avenue and Hollands Avenue; and

3.    Council submits design plans to the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) for bicycle upgrades to the signalised intersection of Marrickville Road and Livingstone Road for their consideration and approval.

LTC1018 Item 19  Church Street, St Peters - Proposed 'No Parking' restrictions       (Marrickville Ward/Heffron Electorate/Inner west LAC)

SUMMARY

Council received representations from residents in Church Street, St Peters indicating that parking on both sides of the street in some sections is obstructing the safe passage of vehicles including service vehicles and potentially emergency vehicles.

The proposal will result in the loss of one permit parking space on the southern side of Church Street.

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

6 November 2018

SUMMARY

Detailed design plans have now been finalised for the proposed improvements to the streetscape in Keith Street, Dulwich Hill. The proposal will enhance the street with new footpath and road surfaces, as well as drainage improvements and increased landscaped areas.

Consultation was undertaken with 127 owners and occupiers of properties in the locality regarding the proposal. A summary of the consultation results are presented in this report for consideration.

It is noted that after consultation and following community objection to the loss of parking (2 on-street spaces), the original consultation plans have now been amended (6190_update 11-10-18) by shortening the northern kerb extension to within the statutory 10 metres from the intersection. This has now resulted in the gain of one of the proposed ‘lost’ parking spaces. The southern kerb extension must remain as originally proposed due to design constraints. Essentially, there is now a net loss of 1 parking space as a result of the proposal, not the original proposed two on-street spaces.  

 It is recommended that the proposed amended detailed design plans be approved.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the detailed amended design plans (Design Plan No.6190_update 11-10-18 – 1,2,3) for the proposed improvements to the streetscape be APPROVED.

A resident of the street was generally in support to the proposal of the streetscape enhancements in their street, however the resident objects to any loss of on-street parking. The resident stated that off street parking is in high demand, especially in light of the older apartment blocks /residences having no off-street parking facilities.

The resident had concerns about rubbish dumping and litter in the area generally and noted that having large kerb blisters would add to further dumping in the area. The resident suggested that more regular street cleaning would be advantageous along with removal of leaves from the storm water drain on the corner of Keith and Canonbury streets.

The resident also noted that the current road surface on the corner of Keith and Canonbury is directly linked and level with the walking paths, currently providing perfect accessibility for wheelchairs, bikes and prams.

Following resident concerns about loss of 2 on-street parking spaces, the consultation plans have now been amended by shortening the northern kerb extension to within the statutory 10m from the intersection. This has resulted in the gain of one of the parking spaces. The southern kerb extension must remain as proposed due to design constraints.

Noted. Dumping of rubbish needs to be reported to Council’s Monitoring Section and blocked drains need to be reported to Council’s Maintenance Section.

Improvement of the streetscape and pedestrian safety and accessibility were major considerations during the development of the design plans. The proposed works aim to provide a kerb barrier from traffic, which currently does not exist, whilst also providing improved accessibility and safety for pedestrians.

A resident of the street is pleased that Council is considering improving their street however strongly objects to the loss of the car space outside their property. The resident noted that 7 houses on the northern side of the street do not have off-street parking facilities and parking demand is high despite the residential parking permit scheme operating in their street. Being in close proximity to the light rail puts extra strain on available parking in the area.

Noted. Following resident concerns about loss of 2 on-street parking spaces, the consultation plans have now been amended by shortening the northern kerb extension to within the statutory 10m from the intersection. This has resulted in the gain of one of the parking spaces. The southern kerb extension must remain as proposed due to design constraints.

A resident from Keith Street generally approved of the proposed streetscape improvements suggesting also that smaller kerb blisters would reduce loss of any on-street parking spaces.

Noted. Following resident concerns about loss of 2 on-street parking spaces, the consultation plans have now been amended by shortening the northern kerb extension to within the statutory 10m from the intersection. This has resulted in the gain of one of the parking spaces. The southern kerb extension must remain as proposed due to design constraints.

In regards to the kerb islands /extensions the resident queried whether it is possible to include substantial feature trees or shrubs within them rather than the typical low level vegetation and whether the brick paving would remain.

The resident noted concerns about whether the new gardens would be maintained by Council as there is a serious problem with junk mail and litter of the street already. ‘They may become accumulation traps for litter’.

Low level planting is carried out on all corner abutting kerb blisters to maintain adequate sightlines for both motorists and pedestrians. Turf will be grown as indicated on the design plan and bricked paved footpaths will remain.

Noted.

Dumping of rubbish needs to be reported to Council’s Monitoring Section.

A resident of Keith Street supported and appreciated the proposed streetscape improvement works  generally and commented on extending the path and verge gardens into Rowe Playground.

In relation to the proposed loss of 2 parking spaces and general lack of parking in the locality the resident commented that ‘actually four spaces will be lost as three cars currently park each side of the section where the garden will be constructed.’ and suggested that the south side of Keith Street could be converted to angle parking along with one side of Macarthur Street. Adding that if safety is a concern then the speed limit could also be reduced to 40km/h.

Noted. Rowe Playground is programed for future works and suggested comment will be forwarded to the Parks Section of Council.

Following resident concerns about loss of 2 on-street parking spaces, the consultation plans have now been amended by shortening the northern kerb extension to within the statutory 10m from the intersection. This has resulted in the gain of one of the parking spaces. The southern kerb extension must remain as proposed due to design constraints.

Converting the south side of Keith Street into angle parking requires a number of considerations to be met under Australian Standards (as specified  in AS 2890) such as the camber of the road, the number of driveways, the placement of trees and the width of the road, kerb height and clearances.  Investigation of existing parking occupancy rates would also be required and this suggestion has been listed for review in any future parking study of the Dulwich Hill area to check whether viable.

Any speed reduction request has to meet criteria as set by RMS and at present Keith Street does not satisfy the requirements especially when there is no recorded history of injury crashes in the street in the last five years of RMS recorded crash data.

Council has previously approved planned improvements at the intersection of Armstrong Street, Queen Street and Hardy Street, Ashbury to improve the safety for pedestrians and vehicles, following extensive engagement with the community in December 2015 and March 2016. Some amendments have been completed to the approved design plan.

A revised design plan has now been finalised for the proposed intersection improvements at Armstrong Street / Queen Street / Hardy Street intersection, Ashbury. The revised proposal with road reconstruction, construction of new pedestrian refuges, kerb blisters and extensions, upgraded street-lighting, footpath and storm water upgrades, line marking and signs will improve the safety for pedestrians and vehicles using this intersection.

Consultation was undertaken with owners and occupiers of properties in the locality regarding the revised proposal. It is recommended that the revised detailed design plan be approved.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT;

(1)  the design plan for the revised improvement works, including road reconstruction, construction of two new pedestrian refuges with kerb blisters and extensions, upgraded street-lighting, footpath and storm water upgrades, line marking and signs at the intersection of Armstrong Street, Queen Street and Hardy Street, Ashbury (as per the attached design plan No. RC552 D – C17 ) be APPROVED; and

(2)  Reduce the ‘No Stopping’ distance on the western side of Queen Street (southern approach) from 23m to 20m for the refuge located in Queen Street South of Hardy Street to provide adequate space for one car parking space adjacent to the driveway.

Residents’ Comments

Officer’s Response

A resident of Queen Street asked whether a roundabout would be a safer option for the intersection due to the increased number of turning movements now provided for in the approved design.

The resident also had concerns about turning movements out of their driveway on Queen Street.

As stated in the report, a roundabout was initially considered but was not approved by Council due to the significant resident objection received to the loss of parking around the intersection, and a roundabout is not recommended at an intersection which would give priority to a low traffic volume local road over a high traffic volume local road due to the negative traffic flow impacts at the intersection.

At this stage there are no proposals to introduce turning bans at the intersection. The introduction of pedestrian refuges, speed cushions, and realigning the intersection will help to control vehicle speeds which will in turn help the turning maneuvers at the intersection.

The resident has been advised that they can turn right from their driveway onto Queen Street North over the painted islands. A car can turn over unbroken separation lines and painted islands as long as they are entering or leaving their driveway only. The parking restrictions along this side of the street will also give them and other road users good sight distance approaching the location

A resident of Queen Street noted that the design plan showed a pedestrian refuge in front of the driveway to 222 and wanted to be assured the refuge would not obstruct access to their driveway.

The resident has been informed that there is adequate road width (4.8 metres) between the driveway and the pedestrian refuge to accommodate the swept turning path for a standard car reversing out of the driveway.

A resident from Armstrong Street supported the proposal with conditions. They requested a further amendment of the installation of 1(2) x speed cushion at Hardy Street entrance to the intersection and 1 x speed cushion at the Queen Street North entrance to the intersection to prevent vehicles driving through the existing and proposed stop signs at speed without stopping.

The proposed speed humps have been strategically placed to achieve the best outcome for controlling speed in the approaches to the intersection. Speed cushions are only placed when a speed issue is evident. It is noted that a ‘Stop’ control is in place for Hardy Street which aids in reducing approaching speeds of vehicles on that approach to the intersection. Motorists not stopping at the ‘Stop’ control are driving contrary to Australian Road Rules.

A resident of Queen Street is not in support of the full design. In their experience ‘the main cause of the accidents is cars coming out of Hardy street into Queen street and cars turning from Armstrong into Hardy street and cars not stopping at the Queen street ‘stop sign’. The resident states that additional measures should be considered such as:

-     Remove the driveway turnaround bay in front of 218 Queen Street

-     Introduce “No right turn” bans from Queen Street (north) into Armstrong Street.

-     Close off Hardy Street at Queen Street and Armstrong Street.

The request to close off Hardy Street is outside the scope of the amendments to the approved plans and can be investigated by the traffic team should additional requests be received from residents in the area.

The driveway turnaround bay is required as the resident’s driveway access is changing from the minor road (Queen Street north) to the main road (Queen Street South & Armstrong Street). In addition there will be ‘No Parking’ signs installed in this section to prevent any cars from parking there and restricting viewing of approaching cars.

At this stage there are no proposals to introduce turning bans at the intersection. The introduction of pedestrian refuges, speed cushions, and realigning the intersection will help to control vehicle speeds which will in turn help the turning maneuvers at the intersection.

A resident of Queen Street was not in support of the full design. Their concerns included the following:

-     the significant loss of parking outside their residence as a result of the pedestrian refuge and kerb extension, and requested one parking space be made available at their front gate on Queen Street;

-     the lack of consultation with residents since 2016 on the design;

-     the proposed location of trees obscuring their view at the front of their property;

They also recommended that a speed hump and pedestrian crossing be installed on Queen Street south from Harland Street, in lieu of the full design proposal.

The ‘No Stopping’ distance and geometry of the kerb extension and intersection realignment are the same as endorsed by Council at the April 2016 Council meeting. The only change to the proposal is removing the raised threshold speed hump and providing one speed cushion, which will reduce the noise at this location.

The ‘No Stopping’ parking restrictions have been designed to the minimum requirements in accordance with RMS technical directions for pedestrian refuges, to maintain safe viewing of pedestrians at all times. It is recommended to reduce the ‘No Stopping’ distance on the approach to the refuge in Queen Street to 20m to provide adequate space for one car parking space adjacent to the driveway.

The Traffic Committee and Council considered all submissions received from residents as a result of the December 2015 and March 2016 community engagement. Full copies of the submissions were provided to the Traffic Committee at the time, and residents were also present at the Traffic Committee and Council. The Traffic Committee and Council recommended to proceed with the proposed design as stated in the Agenda report above.

Council staff will resolve the matter of the tree location directly with the resident.

It has been confirmed that a pedestrian crossing on Queen Street would not meet the warrants required by the Roads and Maritime Services, and would result in loss of parking on Queen Street.

A resident of Queen Street was in support of the proposal but also requested that additional speed cushions be installed on Hardy Street and Queen Street North on the approach to the main road. They also requested that flashing ‘STOP’ signs be installed in Queen Street North. 

The proposed speed humps have been strategically placed to achieve the best outcome for controlling speed in the approaches to the intersection. Speed cushions are only placed when a speed issue is evident. It is noted that a ‘Stop’ control is in place for Hardy Street which aids in reducing approaching speeds of vehicles on that approach to the intersection. Motorists not stopping at the ‘Stop’ control are driving contrary to Australian Road Rules.
