LTC0519 Item 29 Fatality at intersection of Milton Street and Georges River Road, Ashfield

A recent pedestrian fatality at the signalised intersection of Milton Street and Georges River Road, Ashfield is currently being investigated by the Centre for Road Safety.

LTC0519 Item 30 Pedestrian crossing on City-West Link Road at Waratah Street, Haberfield

The representative for the Member for Balmain stated that groups of students cross at the new signalised pedestrian crossing on City-West Link Road at Waratah Street. The pedestrian refuge in the middle of the crossing appears to be too small to fit groups of students and could be dangerous.

LTC0519 Item 31 Accident Statistics in the Inner West

The representative for the Member for Newtown requested statistics on the number of cyclist injuries and fatalities in the Inner West area. The representative also stated that 40km/h speed zones are being implemented in many residential streets in the City of Sydney area. It was advised that Council has recently moved to investigate installing 40km/h speed zone in residential streets of Inner West.

LTC0519 Item 32 Bus Stop on Marion Street at Flood Street, Leichhardt

It was stated that when two buses are parked in the bus stop in front of Market Place at the corner of Marion Street and Flood Street, the pedestrian crossing is blocked and this pushes pedestrians into traffic.

Transit Systems stated that an extension of the bus stop could be investigated and a memo can be sent to bus drivers to be aware of the problem and not proceed into the bus zone until there is sufficient space to accommodate a bus.

LTC0519 Item 33 Proposed parking restrictions in Longport Street, Lewisham

Council Officers advised that the proposal was adopted by Council and letters notifying residents of the implementation of new parking restrictions will be distributed soon.

Meeting closed at 10.42am.

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

3 June 2019

Item No: LTC0619 Item 1

Subject: Wharf Road, Birchgrove - 10km/h Shared Zone and Footpath Parking proposal (Baludarri-Balmain Ward/Balmain Electorate/Leichhardt PAC)

Prepared By: Manod Wickramasinghe - Coordinator – Traffic and Parking Services

RECOMMENDATION

THAT a ‘10km/h Shared Zone’ and footpath parking scheme be installed in Wharf Road, Birchgrove between Grove Street and Lemm Street as per Attachment 1, subject to RMS approval.

BACKGROUND

In response to concerns raised by residents regarding parking conditions in Wharf Road, Council is proposing to provide a 10km/h Shared Zone and Footpath Parking Scheme in Wharf Road between Lemm Street and Grove Street, Birchgrove. Wharf Road was previously listed in the former Leichhardt Council’s ‘narrow streets program’ and was identified as having a high demand for on-street parking. Site inspections and parking occupancy surveys undertaken by Council officers have indicated that a number of vehicles are parked on the footpath, particularly on the western section of the street.

This scheme would legalise parking on the footpath within marked parking bays, whilst maintaining a clear travel lane and provide improved pedestrian amenity.

Site Location & Road Network

Street Name(s)	Wharf Road, Birchgrove
Section	Grove Street to Lemm Street
Traffic Volume	210 (2019 Traffic Count)
Recorded Accident History (5 year)	Nil.
Recorded 85% speed	31.5km/h (2019 Traffic Count)
Speed Limit	40km/h
Carriageway width	Approx. 6.2m
Carriageway Type	Two way street with kerb side parking
Road Classification (State, Regional, Local)	Local

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Funding of $30,000 has been allocated to this project for construction in the 2019/20 capital works program.

OTHER STAFF COMMENTS

The initial concept plan has been revised as a result of the community consultation.

The revised concept plan is shown in Attachment 1 outlines the proposed works on Wharf Road between Grove Street and Lemm Street and includes the following treatments:

· ‘10km/h Shared Zone’ in Wharf Road between Grove Street and Lemm Street

· At-grade thresholds as an entry treatment

· Pavement surface colouring to modify the street environment to make drivers and pedestrians aware of the difference in the street environment from the surrounding road network.

· On-road marked parking bays

· Footpath parking bays

· Associated signposting and linemarking

This proposal will ensure pedestrian safety, access and amenity is maintained. It also ensures that a clear travel lane is maintained for emergency service vehicle access.

A gap between marked parking bays will be incorporated into the design to allow clear passage for pedestrians to access the primary access of their property where sufficient residual footpath is not provided.

A detailed design will be prepared based on the revised concept plan and residents comments.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

A letter outlining the above proposal was mailed to the affected 129 properties in Wharf Road, Grove Street and Ballast Point Road, requesting residents’ views regarding the proposal (as indicated on the following plan).

30 responses were received with 6 in support, 14 in general support with request for changes and 10 in objection.

Resident comments related to the proposal have been outlined below.

Residents’ Comment

Officer Comments

Traffic and Parking Comments

The bay on the south side of Wharf Road immediately west of Lemm Street may restrict sight lines for vehicles turning into the street.

(2 similar comments)

The concept plan has been modified to address these concerns and individual comments will be further considered in the detailed design.

Parking bay obstructs potential for future driveways of Nos.37, 39, 41 Ballast Point Road.

(1 similar comments)

Current plan shows a parking bay across my front gate.

(3 similar comments)

Footpath parking is not required in the section between No.25 Wharf Road and Lemm Street where the parking demand is less due to limited residential frontages and provision of off-street parking to residents.

(5 similar comments)

Could be difficult for large vehicles to pass through the street with footpath parking.

(2 similar comments)

A 3m unobstructed travel lane will be provided.

Footpath parking should be provided on both sides of the street in narrower sections.

(1 similar comments)

Heavy vehicles (garbage trucks) have difficulty passing through Wharf Road and footpath parking will assist.

(1 similar comments)

Speed calming is not required as it is already a low-speed environment and humps create noise issues.

(7 similar comments)

The speed cushions have been removed in the revised concept plan and replaced with at-grade thresholds as an entry treatment.

I support the traffic calming devices.

(2 similar comments)

Is currently a viable space outside No.20 Wharf Road and between Nos.20 and 22 Wharf Road.

(1 similar comments)

These spaces have been added to the revised concept plan and individual comments will be further considered in the detailed design.

A further parking space can be provided between Nos.31 and 33 Wharf Road.

(3 similar comments)

There is currently a parking space in front of No.16-18 Wharf Road

(1 similar comments)

This request will be considered as part of the detailed design.

A convex mirror should be provided around No.25/27 Wharf Road to improve sightlines.

(2 similar comments)

Convex mirrors are not supported as they distort speed, distance and the size of pedestrians and motorists.

Investigate one-way restrictions in Wharf Road.

(4 similar comments)

One-way restrictions reduce accessibility and encourage an increase in vehicle speeds which is not appropriate for a ‘10km Shared Zone’ environment.

Wharf Road experiences low traffic volumes and passing opportunities are adequate to accommodate two way movement.

Driveway and Pedestrian Access Comments

Footpaths should be for the exclusive use of pedestrians for safety.

This proposal provides a ‘10km/h Shared Zone’ to allow pedestrians to walk along the road as they do now.

Can there be consistency in having on-street parking on the entire northern side of Wharf Road and footpath parking on the south side (where the footpath is obstructed anyway).

(2 similar comments)

Footpath parking has been provided in a manner to maximise parking and avoid sections of high-kerb.

Speed calming devices should be moved closer to Grove Street and should not interfere with driveway access.

(1 similar comments)

The speed cushions have been removed in the revised concept plan and replaced with at-grade thresholds as an entry treatment.

Parking adjacent to driveways may obstruct garage access.

(2 similar comments)

The Concept Plan has been modified to address some of these concerns and individual comments will be further considered in the detailed design through a swept path analysis.

Parking opposite to driveway may obstruct garage access.

(3 similar comments)

General Comments

Bus drivers turning into the bus turning area cause damage when they fail to raise their bus. They should also be advised how far they can enter Wharf Road.

(2 similar comments)

Council will liaise with Transit Systems to ensure bus drivers are aware of the requirement to raise the bus and will investigate whether improved signage and road pavement marking is required.

Does Council propose to introduce roll-top kerb as part of the proposal.

(1 similar comments)

Roll top kerb is not proposed. Footpath parking has generally been provided at locations with a standard or low kerb which has proved successful in other Footpath Parking schemes.

The proposal will harm the heritage aspect of the street.

(5 similar comments)

Supplementary mid-block signage has been removed from the revised concept plan.

Signage should be reduced due to the heritage nature of the area.

(1 similar comments)

The eastern section Wharf Road from Lemm Street to Ronald Street should be included in the Shared Zone scheme (near Ballast Point Park) to reduce vehicle speeds.

(3 similar comments)

Footpath parking does not occur in this section of Wharf Road and so a 10km/h Shared Zone’ and Footpath Parking scheme has not been proposed. Vehicle speeds in this section can be reviewed as a separate matter.

Residents should be able to park in front of their garages.

(2 similar comments)

It is illegal to park in front of a garage even if it is your own. Council is unable to mark a parking bay in front of a garage as part of this proposal and so it will effectively be a ‘No Parking’ zone and only allow drop-off and pick-up.

Is a 10km/h shared zone only applicable in the coloured area indicated.

(1 similar comments)

The entire section of Wharf Road between Grove Street and Lemm Street is proposed to be a ‘10km/h Shared Zone’. The coloured areas are a coloured treatment to show a change in road environment and there is a midblock treatment to reinforce this change in environment.

There was a significant amount of construction previously in Wharf Road which has ceased. It could be wrong to change the parking conditions as this congestion has ceased.

(1 similar comments)

This proposal has been provided in response to resident concerns regarding the existing Footpath Parking.

The area has been working well in an informal way and no change should be made.

(2 similar comments)

CONCLUSION

The initially consulted concept plan has been refined based on resident feedback and is presented in this report for approval. A detailed design will be prepared for further consultation with residents prior to being forwarded to RMS for its approval.

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

3 June 2019

Item No: LTC0619 Item 5

Subject: Burrows Avenue and Hogan Avenue, Sydenham – Sydney Metro Sydenham Station and Junction (SSJ) Works – Temporary traffic control arrangements (Midjuburi Ward / Heffron Electorate / Inner West PAC)

Prepared By: Jennifer Adams - Engineer – Traffic and Parking Services

Authorised By: John Stephens - Traffic and Transport Services Manager

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the design of the temporary traffic control arrangements in Burrows Avenue and temporary pedestrian refuge and associated signs and line markings in Hogan Avenue, Sydenham (as per attached design plans prepared by Bitzios and dated 10 May 2019) be approved, subject to additional controls at the intersection of Hogan Avenue and Burrows Road being further investigated by JHLORJV and necessary treatments provided to satisfy the issues raised in the Road Safety Audit.

BACKGROUND

Sydney Metro have engaged John Holland Pty Ltd and Laing O’Rourke Australia Construction Pty Ltd (JHLORJV) to undertake the Sydenham Station and Junction works to facilitate the new Sydney Metro line and part of these works involve the construction of a new concourse and plaza. These works necessitate that pedestrians are (temporarily) crossed over from the Station side of Burrows Ave to take them away from construction activities for the new Southern Plaza. Design plans have been submitted to Council for the temporary traffic control arrangements in Burrows Avenue and Hogan Avenue, Sydenham as part of the Sydney Metro Sydenham Station and Junction (SSJ) works. The design plans and subsequent Road Safety Audit is attached for the Committee’s consideration.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

All costs of recommended temporary works will be borne by Sydney Metro Sydenham Station and Junction (SSJ).

DISCUSSION

The site location is adjacent Sydenham Railway Station. Burrows Avenue and Hogan Avenue form a minor collector route connecting between Unwins Bridge Road and Gleeson Avenue, Sydenham.

Street Name	Burrows Avenue
Section	Between Gleeson Avenue and George Street
Carriageway Width (m)	12.8

Heavy Vehicle Volume (%)	N/A
Parking Arrangements	Eastern side of the road consists of unrestricted parking with sections of ‘No Parking’ restrictions. Western side of the road consists of ‘2P 8:30am-10pm Permit Holders Excepted – Area M4’ restrictions.

Proposed temporary works

During construction of the Sydney Metro Sydenham Station and Junction (SSJ) works temporary changes to the existing pedestrian routes in the locality are required. Pedestrians using Burrows Avenue on the southern side of Sydenham Railway Station often utilise the northern side of Burrows Avenue to access the commuter car parking in Bolton Street and/or local destinations in the area such as Hogan Avenue. This route is directly adjacent the construction area alternative arrangements were deemed necessary by the contractors.

The diagram below summaries the changes in pedestrian routes that are required. Essentially, the proposal for the Burrows Avenue / Hogan Avenue pedestrian crossing routes improves the configuration currently in operation by introducing a new temporary refuge on Hogan Avenue. A number of temporary additional road and footpath upgrades are proposed. These include:

Burrows Avenue

· The current pedestrian refuge island will be widened to align with the proposed improved ramps on either side.

· The current pedestrian ramp on the rail side will be widened.

· The temporary yellow ramp on the southern side (adjacent to George Street) will be removed and replaced with a wider concrete ramp.

Hogan Avenue:

· The temporary yellow ramps on either side of the road will be removed and replaced with wider concrete ramps.

· A new refuge island will be installed to connect pedestrians and align with the new concrete ramps.

· Loss of two (2) parking spaces along Hogan Avenue intersection with Burrows Avenue.

The road and footpath changes will remain in place for at least two years.

Sign and line markings diagrams are included along with swept path diagrams. It is noted that JHLORJV also propose to replace all plastic ramps with concrete pram ramps as well as realign the pram ramp crossings on Burrows Avenue to suit the existing the refuge alignment.

The design of the temporary traffic control arrangements in Burrows Avenue and temporary pedestrian refuge and associated signs and line markings in Hogan Avenue, Sydenham (as per attached design plans prepared by Bitzios and dated 10 May 2019)

Road Safety Audit

Council Officers requested that all road safety aspects of the proposed pedestrian refuge designs be identified and that a road safety audit be prepared. In response JHLORJV commissioned Bitzios Consulting to undertake a Road Safety Audit of the two proposed temporary pedestrian refuges located adjacent to the Sydenham Station and Junction (SSJ) project site. Specifically, their report addressed the pedestrian refuge concept designs and local site conditions.

The Road Safety Audit identified the two proposed refuges as follows:

Hogan Avenue

 Located immediately south of the Hogan Avenue, Bolton Avenue, Burrows Ave Intersection

 Primarily consists of Saferoads Separation (recycled rubber) kerb with posts

 temporary concrete kerb ramps built into existing kerb and footpath on each side of the road

 Relocation of parking and signage to allow for mandatory 'No Stopping' zones on both sides of the road

Burrows Avenue

 Immediately west of the Burrows Avenue and George Street intersection (near existing refuge)

 Primarily concrete refuge island construction

 temporary concrete kerb ramps built into existing kerb and footpath on each side of the road

 Introduction of new linemarking and chevron marking leading up to and around refuge island

 Relocation of kerbside parking and signage to allow for mandatory no stopping zones on both sides of the road.

It was stated that the road safety audit was undertaken in accordance with the procedure set out in the Austroads – Road Safety Audit (2009) Manual and the RMS Guide to Road Safety Practices. The audit involved a review of the proposed plans and a day time and night time site visit of the two locations outlined in the above diagram.

A summary of the Road Safety Audit (RSA) findings and JHLORJV’s responses are reproduced below:

Hogan Avenue

Burrows Avenue

The Road Safety Audit examined the concept plans and site conditions relating to the proposed pedestrian refuges and identified any features of the project which could be altered or removed to improve safety for road users and others. The issues identified were prioritised based on Austroads’ standard risk assessment. JHLORJV responded to each of the identified issues as outlined above.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Sydney Metro Sydenham Station and Junction (SSJ) are responsible for any consultation requirements. At regular Sydney Metro SSJ update meetings, attended by Council’s Traffic Section, a report is given detailing what consultation has been carried out and itemise any concerns residents / businesses have raised. To date one concern by a George Street resident has been received where the resident was enquiring about whether the present works would be formalised.

In response to Traffic Section’s request for local residents / businesses to be consulted specifically on the formalisation of the works SSJ have supplied a copy of a flyer ( reproduced below) which has been distributed locally to all residents / businesses. Any responses and concerns will be tabled at the Traffic Committee meeting.

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that the report be received and noted and that approval of the design plans for the temporary traffic control be determined by the Traffic Committee at its meeting.

Generally, the mitigation measures as responded by JHLORJV to the issues raised in the Road Safety Audit are acceptable. However, additional controls at the intersection of Hogan Avenue and Burrows Road requires further investigation and treatment to satisfy the issues raised in the Road Safety Audit.

It is noted that the issue with the tree in Hogan Avenue (Issue 5) may not be able to be resolved satisfactorily without the tree being removed completely and replaced nearby with another tree. Adequate sight lines for pedestrians are paramount for satisfactory road safety outcomes. Should approval be forthcoming it is recommended that the tree be removed and replaced nearby.

In regards to illegal drop-off / pick-up movements by motorists in Burrows Avenue (Issue 9) it is suggested that a recommendation, should approval be forthcoming, that Council’s Parking Officers regularly monitor the location.

Subject: Toothill Street at Victoria Street, Lewisham – Concept plan for Raised Pedestrian crossing with kerb extensions on all approaches of intersection (Damum - Stanmore Ward/ Summer Hill Electorate/ Inner West PAC)

Prepared By: Jennifer Adams - Engineer – Traffic and Parking Services

Authorised By: John Stephens - Traffic and Transport Services Manager

RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

1. The concept proposal to raise the existing pedestrian zebra crossing on Toothill Street at its intersection with Victoria Street, Lewisham and construct kerb blister extensions on all approaches of the intersection in order to improve pedestrian safety, especially school children, at the location be supported in principle and listed within Council’s Forward Capital Works Program; and

2. Responding residents be advised in terms of this report.

BACKGROUND

Residents have raised concerns about the safety of pedestrians using the pedestrian zebra crossing on Toothill Street adjacent to its intersection with Victoria Street, Lewisham. A concept plan showing potential improvements at the intersection was distributed locally to get feedback on a proposal to raise the existing pedestrian zebra crossing and construct kerb blister extensions on all approaches of the intersection in order to improve pedestrian safety, especially for school children at the location.

Subsequent to consultation and support for the proposed treatment, it is recommended that the proposal be supported in principle and the project be listed within Council’s Forward Capital Works Program.

Council regularly monitors the subject crossing and has initiated various measures over time at the crossing to improve sightlines for both pedestrians and motorists approaching this crossing - removal of hedges; large chevron signage has been replaced with more compact chevron signage; pedestrian signs have been upgraded to fluorescent type to improve visibility of the crossing facility; along with regular remarking of the pedestrian crossing panels. Warning zig-zag lines are installed at the crossing. Incidents of motorists not stopping at the crossing have been reported to NSW Police.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The construction of the proposed raised pedestrian crossing and kerb blister extensions will be listed for consideration in the future capital works program.

Improving pedestrian safety, especially for school children, in Toothill Street at Victoria Street, Lewisham

The map below shows the survey area and the list below outlines resident comments and concerns with Officer’s responses.

Resident Comments (supporting the concept proposal and any concerns raised)

Officer’s Response

The resident thanked council for its “thoughtful and proactive approach to road safety” noting that it would make it safer for their children to walk to Lewisham Station.

Another resident “fully supports” the proposal to raise the pedestrian crossing on Toothill Street. They state that they have had “countless close calls on that crossing both day and night where people come down Toothill Street too fast and don’t see people on the crossing or waiting to cross.”

Another resident supports the proposal. They say that “the proposed upgrading work is necessary and very useful for the pedestrians; also very useful to minimize the traffic safety concerns. There are lots of school children using Toothill Street every day. The current condition of the crossing is too simple, not noticeable enough for such a position with busy traffic every day.” They noted they are looking forward to seeing the upgrading work done.

Another resident says “In principle they welcome the proposal given the significant use of the crossing by school children.” They add that cars often speed in the area and that the suggested works will help slow traffic at the intersection

Pedestrian safety is a major consideration in proposing the concept plan for potential improvements at the intersection. Residents have previously commented about speeding vehicles in the locality and the proposed raised crossing would slow traffic in Toothill Street and improve safety of pedestrians when crossing the road.

A resident says that the proposal is urgently needed however noted that additional treatment works are required to mitigate other site conditions and risks:

- increased traffic congestion in the area due to recent development growth

- poor sight lines due to cars parked either side of the crossing on the north side of the intersection

- overgrown trees that obstruct signage and

- there should be road markings advising drivers of upcoming crossing.

In accordance to the Australian Standards (AS1742.10-2009), the design requirements for an on-street line marked pedestrian crossing must consist of ‘No Stopping’ prohibition within the vicinity of the crossing. This is to increase visibility for pedestrians and improve safety. The proposed new kerb extensions would be incorporated into the design to minimise the loss in car parking spaces.

It is noted that ‘zig zag’ lines are already present as an advance warning of the existing pedestrian crossing.

The resident raised concerns regarding safety of cyclists and asked that consideration be given to how cyclists can be allowed to navigate any kerb extensions built as they can force cyclists to swerve into the main car flow of traffic.

The resident’s concerns regarding cyclists’ safety would be taken into consideration in the design stage.

A resident of Victoria Street said that the proposed upgrade to the pedestrian crossing is warranted with the amount of foot traffic using the crossing during morning and afternoon peak / school hours as Toothill Street has a lot of vehicular traffic (school buses, trucks and cars) from Old Canterbury Road to New Canterbury Road.

The resident reiterated that when looking at the kerb extensions please consider that Victoria Street is used by school and Transit System buses turning from Victoria Street into Toothill Street towards Old Canterbury Road; and noted that kerb extensions on the western side of Victoria Street would block traffic flow if there was a vehicle turning right into Victoria Street.

The resident’s concerns regarding buses and trucks using the intersection and possible traffic congestion due to not enough room on Toothill Street for vehicles turning right into Victoria Street, without impeding eastbound traffic on Toothill Street would be taken into consideration in the design stage should the concept plan be approved in principle.

One resident raised concerns about traffic noise being increased due to raising the crossing, especially in light of the significant recent increase in traffic volumes due to the increase in local development in the locality.

The concerns regarding increased noise are noted.

A local resident supported the raising of the crossing saying that “the current facility is inadequate and is an accident waiting to happen as cars regularly travel, at speed, through this crossing.” They asked specifically “how many car parking spaces will be lost on either side of Toothill Street”.

Residents’ Comments (opposing the concept proposal)

Officer’s Response

The resident opposes the proposal and stated that “gridlock is likely to be created by installing blister kerbs on all 4 corners of Toothill and Victoria Streets. Toothill a narrow street, is a major artery connecting Old Canterbury and Stanmore roads and the proposed blisters would likely slow down traffic considerably. They would also make entry to and from Victoria Street and Toothill more difficult than it presently is.” Adding that congestion is an issue and adding kerb blisters would not solve the ‘real traffic problem’ in the locality.

Received and noted. It is noted that the proposed kerb extensions in addition to the raising of the pedestrian crossing will improve safety of pedestrians when crossing the road.

Another resident opposes the proposed works noting that evidence has not been provided that “the proposal would benefit the neighbourhood compared to Council resources being utilised elsewhere” and that the proposal may result in the loss of on-street car parking spaces.

Received and noted. On-street parking is a major consideration during the development of any design plans. Generally, current design practices endeavour to minimise the loss of any legal on-street parking spaces by placing kerb extensions / blisters within the existing statutory 10 metre ‘No Stopping’ zones at intersections.

CONCLUSION

Subsequent to consultation and support for the proposed works, it is recommended that the proposal be supported in principle and the project be listed in Council’s forward Capital Works Program.

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

3 June 2019

Item No: LTC0619 Item 8

Subject: Bruce Street, Stanmore - Proposed Permit Parking Area M17 (Damun-Stanmore Ward/Newtown Electorate/Inner West PAC)

Prepared By: Mary Bailey - Parking Planner

Authorised By: John Stephens - Traffic and Transport Services Manager

RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

· Implementation of ‘2P Permit Holders Excepted 8am-10pm Mon-Fri Area M17' restrictions in Bruce Street between Douglas Street and Temple Street (western side);

· Implementation of 10m Statutory ‘No Stopping' restrictions in Bruce Street, north of Douglas Street (western side); and

· Implementation of 10m Statutory ‘No Stopping’ restrictions in Bruce Street, south of Temple Street (western side); be approved.

BACKGROUND

Following receipt of a petition from residents, Council carried out resident and parking surveys to determine whether permit parking should be considered for the section of Bruce Street, Stanmore, between Temple Street and Douglas Street in order to provide additional parking opportunities for residents.

Street Name and Suburb	Bruce Street, Stanmore
Section	Between Douglas Street and Temple Street
Carriageway Width (m)	12.8m
Carriageway Type	Two-way street
Classification	local
85^th Percentile Speed (km/h)	46.6
Vehicles Per Day (vpd)	1998 most recent count (794 vpd)
Reported Crash History (July 2013 - June 2017)	N/A
Heavy Vehicle Volume (%)	2%
Parking Arrangements	Unrestricted parking. Many households have access to off street parking via Bruce Lane East and Bruce lane West.

Residents were consulted on a proposal to implement ‘Permit Parking’ in Bruce Street, Stanmore. Feedback received as a result of the initial consultation phase resulted in a revised proposal being developed. The rationale for the revision of the proposal was that the consultation resulted in stronger support for the implementation of permit parking from residents on the western side of Bruce Street and not on the eastern side as originally proposed. An analysis of the feedback from residents is detailed in the Public Consultation section of this report below.

The revised proposal is as follows;

· Implement ‘2P Permit Holders Excepted 8am-10pm Mon-Fri Area M17' - Bruce Street between Douglas Street and Temple Street (western side)

· Implement 10m Statutory ‘No Stopping' - Bruce Street north of Douglas Street (western side)

· Implement 10m Statutory ‘No Stopping’ - Bruce Street south of Temple Street (western side)

The revised proposal is illustrated in Figure 1 below and the original proposal is illustrated in Figure 2 below.

Parking Occupancy

To determine parking demand officers carried out parking occupancy surveys at 8am; 12:00pm; 4:00pm and 6:00pm on Wednesday, 13 February 2019, in the section of Bruce Street between Myrtle Street and Douglas Street.

The parking survey results indicated that there was a high parking demand in Bruce Street between Temple Street and Douglas Street where the permit parking is being proposed with demand above 90% through the daytime hours. This demand exceeds the required 85% occupancy for consideration of permit parking. The results are mapped in Figure 3 below and detailed in Table 1 below.

It can also be observed in Table 1 below that parking surveys undertaken for the section of Bruce Street between Temple Street and Myrtle Street showed that the average occupancy for both sides of the subject section of the street during the daytime was very near 85% (77% and 100% (avg 88%) at 12 noon and 69% and 100% (avg 85%) at 4pm). There was insufficient support from residents of this section to consider permit parking. Further details are available in the Public Consultation section of the report.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Subsequent to receiving a petition from residents of eleven (11) households in Bruce Street between Douglas Street and Temple Street, Council sent by letter to affected residents a proposal to implement permit parking on the eastern side of Bruce Street in the section between Douglas Street and Temple Street. Following the initial letter being sent, Council extended the consultation area.

Council requires that there is a 30% response rate from the households in the subject section of road where surveys were sent. There are seventeen (17) households in the section of Bruce Street between Temple Street and Douglas Street and there were twelve (12) responses to the survey, a 64% response rate. Of the twelve (12) respondents, nine (9) were petitioners, two of the petitioners did not respond to the survey.

There were five (5) petitioners from the eastern side and six (6) petitioners from the western side in the subject section of Bruce Street.

Initially, a proposal to implement permit parking on the eastern side was developed following site investigation to determine the number of driveways in the street as well as the number of off-street parking spaces available to Bruce Street residents via Bruce Street Lane East and Bruce Lane West.

Feedback received from community engagement indicated there was stronger support for permit parking from residents on the western side of Bruce Street between Temple Street and Douglas Street, than on the eastern side. Overall there were respondents from six (6) separate households in support of permit parking on the western side of the street and four (4) in support of permit parking on the eastern side of the street. (Note: five (5) of the seven (7) total responses from the western side indicated they supported the proposal only if it incorporated the western side of the street)

A notification was sent to all affected residents on 10 May 2019 advising of the revision and details that the matter was to be considered at this meeting.

It should be noted that the residents of Bruce Street between Temple Street and Myrtle Street were also consulted due to possible flow-on effects. Residents in this section of Bruce Street did not have the same issue with regards to parking and there was no support for an RPS in this section of Bruce Street.

CONCLUSION

Given the high parking occupancy in Bruce Street between Temple Street and Douglas Street and the support for permit parking, the proposal is supported.

Consultation was conducted between 16 April 2019 and 17 May 2019. A letter as well as a copy of the design plan was sent to the local residents in Montague Street, Beattie Street and Mullens Street, Balmain. A total of 170 letters were distributed (as indicated in the plan). Two (2) responses were received.
Residents’ Comments	Officer Comments
We support Council’s proposal as traffic volumes and speed on Beattie Street has increased as it is used as an unofficial shortcut. Council should investigate speed cushions in the section of Beattie Street between Mullens Street and Palmer Street (closer to Balmain village) to match the rest of Beattie Street.	The request for further traffic calming measures on Beattie Street will be listed for investigation as part of a future Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study in this area.
I believe proposed cushions should be located further away from the intersection as speeding occurs midblock of all three streets.	The speed cushions are in place to address speed levels through the intersection and are not intended to address midblock speeding issues.

Residents’ Comments	Officer Comments
The proposed new pedestrian refuge will remove two of the three car parking spaces immediately in front of our house.	The proposal has been modified to retain one of the three (3) car parking spaces that were originally proposed to be removed. Therefore, the amended proposal would result in a loss of two (2) car parking spaces.
There is much more pedestrian traffic across Boomerang Street than across Crescent Street. There is relatively little pedestrian traffic across Crescent St at this intersection. The more useful pedestrian refuge would be on Boomerang Street, south of the intersection with Crescent Street. It may also be possible to construct a kerb extension on the eastern gutter of Boomerang Street (immediately south of the intersection).	The proposed treatments were identified in the Ashfield Traffic Management Strategy (ATMS) to address speed related issues at the intersection of Boomerang Street and Crescent Street, Haberfield. The proposal is expected to provide a traffic calming impact at the intersection and will improve pedestrian amenity by reducing the crossing distance (currently 20m) in Crescent Street, which is wider than Boomerang Street. Improvements to the crossing points around Robson Park can be considered as part of a future Local Area Traffic Management scheme.
Large trucks sometimes struggle to negotiate this intersection because of the placement of the existing islands and associated signage.	Swept path analysis has been undertaken to consider trucks and buses turning at the intersection of Crescent Street and Boomerang Street.

Support	Officer Comment
Given that Lord and Darley street are set up this way does it not stand to reason residents like myself on Edgeware Road, that are closer to the Sydney Metro Dive site and other commercial businesses in the area which are likely to use unrestricted parking areas, have an equal or greater need for a resident parking permit.	Given the demand for parking in this area, the installation of permit parking as proposed will provide residents of this section of Edgeware Road with increased permit parking opportunities both along their street as well as nearby Streets.
Object
We love having unrestricted parking as it gives us and our guest’s flexibility to park where we want. We don’t support the introduction of more fees from Council.	The proposal only covers one side of the roadway and there is unrestricted parking available in nearby streets including Lord Street and Darley Street.
