LTC0219 Item 7 Council Street, St Peters - Proposed Parking Restrictions (Marrickville Ward/ Heffron Electorate/Inner West PAC)

SUMMARY

A request has been received from a resident to improve access due to the current parking

situation on Council Street, St Peters. It has been reported that on numerous occasions,

vehicles parked on both sides of Council Street, St Peters between Goodsell Street and the

cul-de-sac have obstructed access for Transport for NSW utility vehicles along Council Street.

The northern end of Council Street at the cul-de-sac serves as a corridor for Transport for

NSW utility vehicles to access the railway land. On several occasions, a resident had

witnessed utility vehicles unable to successfully manoeuvre along Council Street, resulting in

damage to parked vehicles.

Additionally, parking is presently unrestricted on the western side of Council Street, between

May Street and Goodsell Street. It is recommended that the ‘No Parking’ restrictions be

extended along the western side of Council Street to prevent vehicles from parking along this

kerb given the width constraints and permissible parking on the eastern side of Council Street between May Street and Goodsell Street.

It is recommended that the installation of ‘No Parking’ restrictions be approved, in order to

ensure safe thoroughfare of all vehicles along Council Street as the road width does not

support parking on both sides of the street.

Officer’s Recommendation

That the installation of ‘No Parking’ restrictions in Council Street, St Peters along the

western side between May Street and the cul-de-sac (excluding the 90 degree angled

parking spaces at the rear to the amenities building for Camdenville Oval) be

APPROVED, in order to ensure safe thoroughfare of all vehicles along Council Street as the road width does not support parking on both sides of the street.

DISCUSSION

The representative for the Member for Heffron commented that some residents were originally concerned that there would be a loss of parking, however; they noted that the width of the street does not support parking on both sides of the street. The representative stated that the Member for Heffron supports the proposal.

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

That the installation of ‘No Parking’ restrictions in Council Street, St Peters along the western side between May Street and the cul-de-sac (excluding the 90 degree angled parking spaces at the rear to the amenities building for Camdenville Oval) be APPROVED, in order to ensure safe thoroughfare of all vehicles along Council Street as the road width does not support parking on both sides of the street.

For motion: Unanimous

parking access for residents and occupiers due to visitor vehicles parking over driveway

crossings along Gannon Lane, Tempe.

DISCUSSION

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

That a proposal for ‘No Parking’ restrictions on the eastern side of Gannon Lane, Tempe NOT be supported at the present time due to insufficient support at present.

LTC0219 Item 12 Longport Street, Lewisham - Proposed extension of Peak Hour Parking Restrictions (Ashfield Ward/Summer Hill Electorate/Inner West PAC)

SUMMARY

Following representation for the community, Council is proposing to extend the existing “No

parking” restriction in Longport Street, Lewisham; in order to facilitate the flow of traffic through the intersection at Longport Street and Old Canterbury Road.

Officer’s Recommendation

That the existing ‘No Parking Mon-Fri 6:30am-9:30am; 3:30pm-6:30pm restrictions in Longport Street (opposite its intersection with Brown Street) be extended by a further 25m west.

This would remove up to three unrestricted parking spaces but would improve safety for cyclists and motorists by allowing cyclists to stay in the cycle lane as they approach Old Canterbury Road.

Council Officers to notify residents of the proposed prior to implementation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

That the existing ‘No Parking Mon-Fri 6:30am-9:30am; 3:30pm-6:30pm restrictions in Longport Street (northern side) be extended so that they cover the length of road between the existing ‘No Stopping’ zone on Longport Street west of Old Canterbury Road and the ‘No Stopping’ zone associated with the pedestrian refuge on Longport Street immediately to the east of Grosvenor Crescent.

manoeuvring for vehicles within the cul-de-sac without having to utilise private driveways or

motorists having to reverse along Cavey Street in an attempt to exit the street.

The Committee members agreed with the revised proposal for the ‘No Parking’ restrictions.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

That 'No Parking’ restrictions be installed in Cavey Street, Marrickville as follows;

· From a position 5.5m south of Property No.20A, to a position of 6.5 metres from the cul-de-sac, (western side) and inclusive of all the area between the two signs.

LTC0219 Item 19 Chapman Lane (rear of Nos.129 - 133 Annandale Street), Annandale - Proposed Extension of 'No Parking' zone (Leichhardt Ward/Balmain Electorate/Leichhardt PAC)

SUMMARY

Council has received concerns regarding parked vehicles obstructing access to off-street

parking in Chapman Lane (rear of Nos.129 - 133 Annandale Street), Annandale. This matter

was previously considered by the Committee last year and deferred for further consideration.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT a 10.8m ‘No Parking’ zone be installed on the eastern side of Chapman Lane (opposite the rear of Nos.129 - 133 Annandale Street), Annandale.

DISCUSSION

Public speakers: Ms Beverley Prunster and Mr Greg Prunster attended at 10.08am.

Ms Prunster objected to the proposed ‘No Parking’ zone and made the following comments:

· It is difficult to find parking in Johnston Street.

· Laneway parking is needed for work and service vehicles.

· Vehicles do not enter and exit from No.131 Annandale Street. The garage of No.133 Annandale Street is not used and no vehicles enter or exit the garage.

· Parking is permitted at the entrance of Chapman Lane even though it is opposite driveways and more obstructive to access than the parking space adjacent to her property.

· Photos were tabled showing use of the laneway and obstruction.

· Her mother who has a mobility parking sticker often cannot find parking on Johnston Street.

· The parking space adjacent to her garage should be retained for use by all residents and visitors.

Mr Prunster commented that:

· Their garage is currently full with seven vehicles so they have to use street parking.

· Johnstone Street parking is often used by commuters.

Public speaker: Mr Jason Gooden attended at 10.18am.

Mr Gooden commented that:

· He and his neighbour applied to Council for the extension of the ‘No Parking’ zone in Chapman Lane due to parked vehicles frequently obstructing access to their off-street parking.

· He and his neighbour have a right to access their off-street parking.

· It has become increasingly difficult to park in Annandale Street due to nearby development and commuters.

· The lane is too narrow for a car to park without obstructing the turning path into his property.

Mr Gooden left at 10.23am.

Council Officers advised that resident parking was considered in Johnston Street at the former Leichhardt Council; however, Johnston Street is a State Road and RMS did not support a resident parking scheme at that time. The RMS representative advised that resident parking is generally not implemented on State Roads.

Clr Da Cruz asked whether a mobility parking space can be provided in Chapman Lane for Ms Prunster’s mother. Council Officers advised that Ms and Mr Prunster’s property would not be eligible for a mobility parking space as their property has sufficient off-street parking. It was also advised that there is insufficient space for a disabled parking space at this location.

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT a 10.8m ‘No Parking’ zone be installed on the eastern side of Chapman Lane (opposite the rear of Nos.129 - 133 Annandale Street), Annandale.
