CONFIRMATION OF MINUTES

The minutes of the Local Traffic Committee meeting held on Monday, 6 May 2019 were confirmed.

MATTERS ARISING FROM COUNCIL’S RESOLUTION OF MINUTES

The Local Traffic Committee recommendations of its meeting held on 6 May 2019 were adopted at Council’s meeting held on 28 May 2019.

LTC0619 Item 1 Wharf Road, Birchgrove - 10km/h Shared Zone and Footpath Parking proposal (Baludarri-Balmain Ward/Balmain Electorate/Leichhardt PAC)

SUMMARY

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.

Officer’s 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.

DISCUSSION

Public speakers: Jantje Korringa and Peter Miller attended at 10.04am.

Ms Korringa supported the proposal as it improves safety in the street and noted that Council is reviewing the parking space in between No.20 and 22 Wharf Road which is obstructed by a powerpole.

Mr Miller supported the proposal as it addresses his concerns with safety in Wharf Road; however, requested the reintroduction of midblock speed calming treatments into the concept plan. Mr Miller stated that there should be no footpath parking around the bend of Wharf Road, in front of his property as suggested in the resident comments.

(Ms Korringa and Mr Miller left at 10.09am)

Public speakers: Janette Sullivan, D. Garder and M. Garder attended at 10.11 am

Ms Sullivan, Ms Garder and Mr Garder did not support the proposal as they believe the speed humps and signage will diminish the heritage characteristics of the street. They stated that Wharf Road is already self-enforcing and that there have not been accidents or issues with vehicle access in the street and so this proposal is unnecessary.

(Ms Sullivan, Ms Garder and Mr Garder left at 10.27am)

The RMS representative confirmed that the ‘10km/h Shared Zone’ and associated regulatory signage requires RMS approval and signage would be installed by RMS.

Council Officers clarified that there was an error on the concept plan and there are no speed humps proposed in Wharf Road.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

the treatments associated with the proposed ‘10km/h Shared Zone’ and footpath parking scheme in Wharf Road, Birchgrove between Grove Street and Lemm Street be endorsed;

the proposal be submitted to RMS for approval of the ‘Shared Zone’ and regulatory signage.

For motion: Unanimous

LTC0619 Item 2 Mullens, Beattie and Montague Streets, Balmain - Proposed Intersection Treatments (Baludarri-Balmain Ward/Balmain Electorate/Leichhardt PAC)

SUMMARY

The roundabout at the intersection of Mullens Street, Beattie Street and Montague Street,

Balmain has been identified as a location that requires traffic calming measures to improve

safety at the intersection.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT the detailed design plan for the speed cushions and associated signs and line marking on approach to the roundabout at Mullens Street, Beattie Street and Montague Street, Balmain (as per Design Plan No.10075) be APPROVED.

DISCUSSION

Potential noise issues associated with the proposed speed cushions was noted. The RMS representative stated that because the roundabout is not effective at slowing down traffic due to its size and lack of deflection, the speed humps are an appropriate traffic calming treatment at the proposed location.

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

For motion: Unanimous

LTC0619 Item 3 Crescent Street and Boomerang Street, Haberfield - Proposed Refuge Island and Speed Cushion (Gulgadya-Leichhardt Ward/ Summer Hill Electorate/ Burwood PAC)

SUMMARY

As part of the 2019/20 Traffic Facilities (LATM) Capital Works Program, Council is proposing

to construct a pedestrian refuge island in Crescent Street at Boomerang Street and install

speed cushions in Boomerang Street, north of Crescent Street, Haberfield to improve safety

and calm traffic in the street.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT the detailed design plan for the kerb blister islands, speed cushions and associated signposting and linemarking in Crescent Street and Boomerang Street, Haberfield (as per the attached plan No. 10074) be approved.

DISCUSSION

Public speakers: Yvonne Frost and Tim Frost attended at 10.36am.

Ms and Mr Frost did not support the proposal due to the loss of two parking spaces and they believe pedestrian traffic is too low to justify the proposed refuge treatment in Crescent Street. Ms and Mr Frost also commented that:

A pedestrian refuge on Boomerang Street would be more suitable due to pedestrian activity between Robson Park and surrounding streets. They stated that this would also assist to reduce the speed of traffic in Boomerang Street.
The blister island on the south side of Crescent Street would be more appropriate in Boomerang Street to narrow the road.
The proposed street light on Crescent Street is not preferable as bedrooms are typically situated at the front of properties.
The Boomerang Street frontage does not allow parking due to an existing Bus Stop.

(Ms and Mr Frost left at 10.48am)

Officers advised that the speed cushions address the speed of vehicles along Boomerang Street and the pedestrian refuge both assists pedestrian movements across Crescent Street and reduces the speed of vehicles entering Crescent Street from Boomerang Street.

In light of the issues raised, the Committee members agreed to defer the item for further investigation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT improvements to the intersection be deferred for further investigation of potential treatments in the Boomerang Street approach.

For motion: Unanimous

Item No: LTC0719 Item 5

Subject: Fred Street, from Summer Hill Street to Eltham Street, Lewisham- Proposed road and footpath renewal civil works and garden beds/verge plantings – Design Plan 10065 (Damun- Stanmore Ward / Summer Hill Electorate / Inner West PAC)

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

Authorised By: Manod Wickramasinghe - A/Traffic and Transport Services Manager

SUMMARY

As part of the Road and Footpath Renewals under Capital Works Program this combined Infrastructure Planning (Transport and Stormwater) project proposes to improve the streetscape in Fred Street, Lewisham. The works include reconstruction of footpaths, kerb and gutter, and road re-sheeting. Along with the civil works, Council is also proposing to build three (3) mass planted garden beds, verge plantings, and a rain-garden. Fred Street is one of many Greenway streets that have been identified as ‘biodiversity and wildlife habitat corridors’. The works will be constructed in this financial year, 2019/20 subject to final funding allocations.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the detailed design plan for the three (3) kerb extensions, reduction of road width in two sections of the road and associated signs and line markings in Fred Street, Lewisham (as per Design Plan No.10065) be APPROVED.

BACKGROUND

This project was identified during asset inspections in 2013/14 by Council’s Infrastructure Planning section and was included in the Capital Works program under the Footpath Renewal program combined with the Local Road Maintenance program.

Fred Street is one of many Greenway streets that were identified as a biodiversity and wildlife habitat corridor and Council’s Infrastructure and Planning section advocated the opportunity to build a rain garden in the existing road carriageway which necessitates reducing the width of the roadway in either two locations, next to property No.20 Fred Street or opposite side of the property No.25 Fred Street and kerb extensions at the intersection of Summer Hill Street and Fred Street.

Financial Implications

Funding for the combined asset projects of $316,000 has been allocated in Council’s 2019/20 Local Road and Footpath Maintenance programs:

- budget allocation of $200,000.00 under project number 301303 - Local Road, and

- budget allocation of $105,000.00 under project number 301444 - Footpath Renewals

- budget allocation of $11,000.00 under project number 301523 – Stormwater Renewal

Item No: LTC0719 Item 7

Subject: Illawarra Road at Cary Street, Marrickville – Proposed upgrading and relocation of existing pedestrian zebra crossing on Illawarra Road – Design Plan 10079 (Midjuburi - Marrickville Ward / Summer Hill Electorate / Inner West PAC)

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

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

SUMMARY

A detailed design plan has been finalised for the proposal to upgrade the existing pedestrian (zebra) crossing on Illawarra Road, Marrickville near its intersection with Cary Street. The proposal to upgrade and relocate the existing raised pedestrian crossing with kerb extensions and associated signs and line markings will improve pedestrian safety and traffic conditions at this location. It is noted that the works require relocation to the south of the existing bus stop on the western side of Illawarra Road.

Consultation was undertaken with owners and occupiers of properties adjacent to Illawarra Road and Cary 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.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the design of the raised and relocated pedestrian (zebra) crossing with new kerb extensions and associated signs and line markings on Illawarra Road, Marrickville, at the intersection with Cary Street (as per the attached design plan No. 10079) be APPROVED.

BACKGROUND

Residents have raised concerns about the safety of the subject at grade pedestrian (zebra) crossing, citing excessive speed of vehicles approaching the crossing endangers pedestrians using the facility, especially school children and elderly. The rear end incidents on the crossing approaches highlights that there is an issue with the crossing, including its close proximity to the intersection of Cary Street and the existing bus stop.

To improve road safety at the subject location an application for funding under the 2019/20 Federal Black Spot Program was submitted in July 2018 to upgrade the existing at-grade pedestrian zebra crossing. The project was successful for funding under the 2019/20 Federal Black Spot Program.

The detailed design plan has now been finalised for the proposed upgrading and relocation of the crossing together with the consultation and are presented in this report for consideration.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Residents’ Comments

Officer Comments

The resident is supportive of the proposed improvement works at Illawarra Road and Cary Street intersection. They had concerns about the safety of the crossing noting that cars often do not stop for pedestrians. “The proposed changes will make an impact to get cars to slow down while approaching the crossing and noticing pedestrians better.”

The resident had witnessed a pedestrian on the crossing being hit by a car “a couple of years ago.”

Support and comments noted.

A local couple is supportive of the proposed works for the raising and relocation of the pedestrian crossing and bus stop. Citing that they support all/any efforts that improve the safety and visibility of “this problematic intersection” and noted that speeding vehicles often do not stop at the crossing.

They cited other mitigation measures that could also be taken into account to improve safety in the area including the following:

· trees and shrubs on the western side of Illawarra Road need significant pruning to improve visibility

· the speed on Illawarra Road be lowered to 40km/h

· additional traffic calming/entry treatments be introduced on Cary Street to slow and calm cars entering and leaving the street.

Support and comments noted.

Instructions will be issued to check visibility and sightlines during construction of the proposed works and any obstructing tree / shrub foliage will be trimmed accordingly.

The proposed works at the intersection and introduction of the Stop control in Cary Street should calm traffic entering and leaving Cary Street.

CONCLUSION

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

RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

1. The proposed temporary full road closure of Marrickville Road (between New Canterbury Road and Durham Street), part of Seaview Street between Marrickville Road and property No. 26 Seaview Street, Caves Lane, and the Seaview Street car park (car park adjacent to Caves Lane), Dulwich Hill for the ‘Dulwich Hill Village Fair’ Event on Sunday 15 September 2019 between 3:00am and 8:00pm be approved as per the submitted TMP and TCP;

2. A Road Occupancy License application be obtained from the Transport Management Centre;

3. Notice of the proposed event be forwarded to the NSW Police Local Area Commander, Transit Systems, the NSW Fire Brigades and the NSW Ambulance Services;

4. All residents and businesses in and around the affected area are to be notified of the temporary road closure in writing by the applicant in advance (at least 7 days prior to the event) with the applicant making reasonable provision for stakeholders;

4. A minimum four (4) metre unencumbered passage be available for emergency vehicles through the closed section; and

5. The occupation of the road carriageway must not occur until the road has been physically closed.

BACKGROUND

Council's Events Coordinator has advised that this year's annual 'Dulwich Hill Village Fair' will be held on Sunday 15 September 2019. In this regard, the Coordinator has submitted a request for some temporary road closures between the hours of 3:00am and 8:00pm on the day of the event.

The ‘Dulwich Hill Village Fair’ is an annual event and this year will be held on Sunday 15 September 2019. As in previous years, it will be necessary to close Marrickville Road between New Canterbury Road and Durham Street, Seaview Street between Marrickville Road and property no. 24 Seaview Street, Caves Lane, the Seaview Street car park (car park adjacent to Caves Lane), Dulwich Hill.

This year’s Dulwich Hill Village Fair will run between 10:00am and 4:00pm on Sunday 15 September 2019, however, the temporary full road closures are required from 3:00am and 8:00pm on Sunday 15 September 2019 for bump in and bump out activities.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Funding of $39,495 has been allocated by Council for organising the ‘Dulwich Hill Village Fair’ event under the 2019/2020 Major Community Events Program.

OFFICER COMMENTS

Temporary road closures are planned for the following locations (refer to the locality map below):

· Marrickville Road (between New Canterbury Road and Durham Street),

· Seaview Street (between Marrickville Road and property no. 24 Seaview Street),

· Caves Lane, and

· The Seaview Street car park (car park adjacent to Caves Lane).

This event is classified as a Class 2 event under the RMS’ Special Events Guide where it impacts local traffic and transport systems but does not impact major traffic and transport systems and it disrupts the non-event community in the area around the event but not over a wide area. The event requires the involvement of Police and Local Council and a detailed Transport Management Plan (TMP).

The temporary road closures are required to be advertised in the local newspaper providing 28 days’ notice for submissions.

Council barricades will be used to affect the closures and a 4-metre wide emergency vehicle access will need to be maintained through the area during the course of the street fair.

Appropriate advance notice signs will be strategically installed at least two weeks prior to the event to alert motorists of the proposed closures. In addition, 'No Parking - Special Event' signs will be affixed over all existing parking restriction signs within the closed roads on the afternoon of the day prior to the event - Saturday 14 September 2019.

Adequate vehicular traffic control shall be provided for the protection and convenience of pedestrians and motorists including appropriate signage and flagging. Workers shall be specially designated for this role (and carry appropriate certificates), as necessary to comply with this condition. This is to be carried out in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 1742.3 - Traffic Control Devices for works on roads.

Locality Map - Temporary road closures

Site Map

Impacts on traffic

Traffic will have to be directed to Beach Road and Durham Street during the closure. The traffic diverted from Marrickville Road and Seaview Street as a result of the proposed road closures, does not coincide with the peak traffic, as the Fair will be held on a Sunday when much lower than weekday traffic volumes are expected.

It is envisaged that the traffic generated as a result of the proposed festival will not have a major impact on the surrounding traffic network during the event. Furthermore the arrival and departure of attendees of the Fair is expected to be staggered as it is every year when this event takes place.

Impacts on buses

At present, bus services use Marrickville Road and cross New Canterbury Road then turn around in Dulwich Street. The temporary closure of Marrickville Road at its intersection with New Canterbury Road will require buses to use a different route during the closure. Consultation with Transit Systems regarding the alternative routes will be undertaken as in previous years.

No scheduled bus services operate in Seaview Street and the closure should have minimal impact on traffic movements in this street.

Traffic Management Plan and Traffic Control Plans

A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) has been supplied by Who Dares Pty Ltd, the scope of which includes the provision for the safe movement of vehicular traffic in and out of the event areas at the Dulwich Hill Village Fair on Sunday 15 September 2019. The TMP and Traffic Control Plans (TCP) are reproduced at the end of this report.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

The proposed temporary full road closures for the event will be advertised in the local paper allowing for a period of 28 days for public submissions. The advertising period commenced on 4 June 2019 and will conclude 2 July 2019. The Traffic Management Plan is to be submitted to the RMS for consideration and approval and a Road Occupancy License application is to be submitted to the Transport Management Centre by Who Dares Pty Ltd.

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that Council agree to the temporary full road closures on Sunday 15 September 2019 subject to complying with the recommendations stated in this report along with all standard conditions for temporary full road closures as detailed in Condition 10 of the development consent for the event.

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

1 July 2019

Item No: LTC0719 Item 10

Subject: Croydon Road at Church Street, Croydon – Proposed traffic calming at the intersection including a new pedestrian refuge on Croydon Road – Design Plan 10090 (Gulgadya – Leichhardt Ward / Strathfield Electorate / Burwood PAC)

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

Authorised By: Manod Wickramasinghe - A/Traffic and Transport Services Manager

SUMMARY

A detailed design plan has been finalised for the proposed pedestrian refuge in Croydon Road adjacent Church Street, Croydon. The proposed works aim to improve pedestrian and motorist safety and address residents’ concerns about speeding and driver behavior in Croydon Road. It is noted that these works are in addition to the intersection improvement works in Church Street (at Croydon Road) which was approved by Council on 26 February 2019. The proposed pedestrian refuge is subsequent to Council’s decision at its 26 February 2019 meeting to construct pedestrian safety measures in Croydon Road at its intersection with Church Street making an existing crossing point safer.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the detailed design plan for the proposed pedestrian refuge islands, kerb blisters, line marking and signs at the intersection of Croydon Road and Church Street, Croydon (as per attached design plan No. 10090) be APPROVED.

BACKGROUND

The Traffic Committee at its meeting held on the 6 November 2018 deferred an item on the ‘Proposed pedestrian and traffic calming treatments’ along Croydon Road, Croydon (inclusive of proposed improvements to the intersection of Church Street and Croydon Road) for further investigation. A report went to December 2018 Local Traffic Committee meeting providing consultation feedback on two (2) alternate options to modify the existing 'STOP' control at the intersection of Church Street and Croydon Road. Option 1 was adopted by Council at its meeting 26 February 2019. However, the Traffic Committee’s recommendation: “The feasibility of providing a pedestrian facility in Croydon Road near/at its intersection with Church Street be investigated, separate to the proposed treatment in Item 1 above.” (LTC 4 December 2018 Item 8 recommendation point 2) was not adopted by Council.

Instead, at the Council meeting on 26 February 2019 the following motion was put forward and carried:

c) Amend item 8 point 2 of 4 December meeting as follows "the provision of a pedestrian facility in Croydon Road at its intersection with Church Street to support pedestrian desire line along the southern side of Church Street to Centenary Park be investigated as a matter of urgency for implementation before or with the right hand turning lane in point 1’;

This report details the design plan for a proposed pedestrian refuge in Croydon Road adjacent Church Street, Croydon as an outcome of the investigation into the feasibility of providing a pedestrian facility in Croydon Road near/at the intersection of Church Street separate to the proposed intersection treatment.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Funding is available to be allocated for the works under the 2019/2020 Capital Works Program for traffic facilities.

Outcome of Investigation

Council previously undertook both pedestrian and vehicle counts for the location in the vicinity of the proposed refuge. It was found that the vehicle volumes were very high (9,778 vehicles per day) and that pedestrian movements at this location were in the vicinity of 19 pedestrians per hour over the surveyed periods (southern leg). Furthermore, there is a bus stop on Church Street, west of Croydon Road which services both sides of Croydon Road north of Church Street. In this respect, a pedetrian refuge would be an appropriate device for this location.

Design Plan

A detailed design plan for the proposed pedestrian refuge, and associated signs and line markings in Croydon Road adjacent Church Street, Croydon (Design Plan 10090 – Attachment 1) is submitted for consideration.

The proposed scope of work includes the following:

· Construction of a pedestrian refuge in Croydon Road.

· Construction of new kerb ramps on both sides of the proposed pedestrian refuge island in Croydon Road

· Installation of new line marking and signage to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety

This proposal will result in the loss of six (6) on-street parking spaces in Croydon Road.

For more detail please refer to Attachment 1.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Consultation was conducted between 3 June 2019 and 18 June 2019. A letter as well as a copy of the design plan was sent to the local residents in Croydon Road and Church Street, Croydon as indicated in the consultation plan below. Also, design details were placed on ‘Your Say’ on the Inner West website.

Thirteen (13) responses were received. Three (3) responses wholly supported the proposal and three (3) others generally supported the proposal. Seven (7) did not support the proposal citing concerns of increased traffic congestion and loss of on-street parking spaces as issues. Two responses queried the need for such a facility at all at the subject location. A summary of received comments follows.

Residents’ Comments (opposing the proposal)

Officer Comments

The resident agrees with the new right turn lane on Church street. However, says the construction of a pedestrian refuge on Croydon Road will cause more traffic and congestion, as it will not allow for overtaking of cars turning into Church Street from Croydon Road (heading towards Parramatta Road). Traffic at this intersection is bad enough at times, and restricting traffic flow is a step in the wrong direction. Adding a right turn lane at this intersection would be a better option.

Croydon Road is a busy road and the proposed pedestrian refuge island on Croydon Road will reduce vehicle speeds on Croydon Road and improve visibility of pedestrians while they are crossing Croydon Road increasing safety.

The turning movements at this intersection are generally free flowing with sufficient gaps for vehicles to turn right with minimal delay to traffic along Croydon Road.

A resident from Croydon Road who does not have an off-street car parking space available says they routinely park on the street in Croydon Road and as on-street parking spaces are scarce now the proposal will add to the difficulty they experience in securing a parking space. “The available number of actual car parking space is scarce and if this project results in loss of 6 parking spaces, this is going to lead to more competition in car parking spaces in this area.”

Pedestrian safety, accessibility and minimum loss of on-street parking were major considerations during the development of the design plans. The proposed treatment will result in the loss of 6 legal on-street parking spaces as an outcome of the proposed ‘No Stopping’ restrictions in order to accommodate pedestrian safety. Moreover, RMS Technical Directions determine required ‘No Stopping’ zones around pedestrian refuges.

A local resident queried why put the refuge in at all “This is a ridiculous and ill-conceived plan. Having lived within 100m of the proposed works for 40-years …, I have never witnessed nor experienced difficulty in crossing the road and any point of departure. This will only slow traffic, create congestion, increase the concentration of pollution and loss of car parking space…”

Pedestrian safety, accessibility and minimum loss of on-street parking were major considerations during the development of the design plans. Croydon Road is a busy road and the proposed pedestrian refuge island on Croydon Road will reduce vehicle speeds on Croydon Road and improve visibility of pedestrians while they are crossing Croydon Road increasing safety.

A resident strongly disagrees with the proposal and raised concerns about the loss of parking and queried whether the pedestrian refuge is required as pedestrians can cross the road now

satisfactorily. “The benefits of the refuge do not out-weigh the loss of 6 parks on Croydon Road. The road is obviously a busy road, with minimal parking as it is, and losing 6 spots will only cause a domino effect resulting in more parking congestion / home owners not being able to park in front of their own homes - just so pedestrians can cross the road at that exact part of the road. Pedestrians can walk a couple meters up the road to either the lights (with a safe light to cross), or the round-about that currently has pedestrian refuges in place. People can very easy cross the road as is, either waiting for traffic on both sides, OR walking a little further up the road to a quieter space (to not cross at an intersection).”

The resident added “Secondly in terms of motorist safety and residents' concern about speeding - we support the installation of speed bumps, as this will reduce driver speeds, however not impact the houses on the road with loss of very essential parking.

Pedestrian safety along Croydon Road was a major consideration in recommending the potential improvements at the intersection. Croydon Road is a busy road and residents have previously commented about speeding vehicles in the locality and the proposed refuge would slow traffic in Croydon Road while improving pedestrian safety. Pedestrians will be able to safely cross the road along the southern side of Church Street to and from Centenary Park. It is noted that the traffic lights at Parramatta Road are over 400 metres north of the subject intersection and the roundabout at Queens Street 175 metres south.

One resident said that the loss of parking will have a strong negative impact on local residents and train commuters. “Many of the dwellings in this location do not have off-street parking, and it is also a popular parking area for train commuters.”

A resident thought the proposed plan is s not going to solve any of the existing traffic problems but instead create additional traffic in the south side of Croydon Road. “The proposal assumes that pedestrians only cross on the Southern side of the intersection. There has been multiple occasions that I have noticed pedestrians crossing dangerously through the traffic in both end of the Church Street. The safety of pedestrians coming from North side of the Croydon Road and then crossing the Church Street is not resolved in the proposal.”

They added “What is needed are the followings (1) a Roundabout at the Croydon Rd and Church St intersection. This will lead to a much smoother traffic flow in all the 4 roads meeting up at that intersection. Reduced traffic, along with a roundabout also increases predictability for a pedestrian to cross the road. (2) No stopping and no parking should instead be applied in front of House 96 and 100 Church street, especially during the peak hours. For example, look at the roundabout in the Croydon Road and Queen St intersection. Pedestrians crossing at that intersection do not have any problem despite heaving traffic. This is because there is orderly movement of cars. The same will happen in the Croydon Road and Church St If a Roundabout is put in place.”

Pedestrian safety was a major consideration in recommending the potential improvements at the intersection. Croydon Road is a busy road and residents have previously commented about speeding vehicles in the locality and the proposed refuge would slow traffic in Croydon Road while improving pedestrian safety. Pedestrians will be able to safely cross the road along the southern side of Church Street to and from Centenary Park, a known pedestrian desire line.

It is noted that any option for a roundabout at the intersection of Croydon Road and Church Street was concluded and the preferred workable Intersection Treatment (Right turn Lane in Church Street) detailed in a report that went to Local Traffic Committee in December 2018 and approved by Council at its 26 February 2019 meeting.

A resident commented that “Where the eastern end of Church Street meets Croydon Road there needs to be a marked right turn lane as is shown on the Western Church Street intersection with Croydon Road. Also the proposed Croydon Road centre-line extending south to the Church Street intersection need to be shortened, otherwise people will wait to turn right into Croydon Road from the left-hand side and block the left-hand turners. This will cause chaos at busy times.”

A right turn lane on the western side of the Church Street intersection is not part of the scope of this project. Vehicle swept path diagrams have been undertaken for this design which has determined the positioning of the line marking shown in the design plans.

Residents’ Comments (supporting the proposal)	Officer Comments
A local resident supports the proposal saying “Great! A very useful improvement. I live over in Bland Street, Ashfield and take my kids to Centenary Park to ride and run around. We sometimes ride our bikes there and it will make it much easier to cross Croydon Road. I'm in full support. Thanks! “	Support noted.
Another local resident supports the proposal stating “I fully support the plan. The intersection is popular with pedestrians as Church Street is a common walking route between Ashfield and Croydon / Burwood. Croydon Road is dangerous to cross during peak times during the week and on the weekends for people going to sports fields. This will make it safer for pedestrians.”	Support noted
One resident said “Good idea.”	Support noted
A local resident commented that “Pedestrian safety is desperately needed here. The new speed hump is positioned on a driveway making it extremely dangerous for those people to enter and exit their property. The centre cement median is far too long at 6m. It doesn't need to be that long. The median at the pedestrian refuge at 187 Ramsay St Haberfield, outside the Medical Centre is far smaller.”	Support noted. It is noted that the ‘new’ speed hump is an existing speed hump that has been in place for some time and not been an issue to date. The proposed pedestrian refuge island on Croydon Road will reduce vehicle speeds on Croydon Road and improve visibility of pedestrians while they are crossing Croydon Road increasing road safety. Moreover, RMS Technical Directions determines dimensions of pedestrian refuges and the ‘No Stopping’ zones around pedestrian refuges.
A resident queried whether the existing Bus Stop would be retained and requested pedestrian fencing at the intersection “It is not clear if the bus stop will be reinstated at a different location. Perhaps there should be a fence or similar to stop people crossing directly at the intersection and force them to use the pedestrian refuge instead.”	Support noted. The existing Bus Stop will be removed as there is another bus stop within 100m adjacent to the dog park just north of Queen Street. It is not recommended that a pedestrian fence be constructed as it will decrease the width of footpath and restrict sight lines
A resident suggested that a pedestrian zebra crossing is a preferred option. “I would perhaps suggest a pedestrian crossing in place of the pedestrian refuge, as the proximity to the dog park would mean that there would often be both dogs and pedestrians trapped in the refuge space, which may be dangerous for dogs and owner with dogs who are uneasy around high traffic. The road is very difficult to cross at present. The changes to the road markings are good”	RMS warrants could not be met for a pedestrian zebra crossing at the subject location and a pedestrian refuge provides a safe space where pedestrians can cross the road in stages. Croydon Road is busy road and the pedestrian refuge will improve crossing opportunities and safety for pedestrians crossing Croydon Road. Constructing a pedestrian fence is not recommended as it would decrease the width of the footpath and restrict sight lines.

CONCLUSION

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

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

1 July 2019

Item No: LTC0719 Item 18

Subject: Edwin Street North, Croydon - Proposed installation of a Disabled (Mobility) Parking Zone (Gulgadya - Leichhardt Ward/ Strathfield Electorate/ Burwood PAC)

Prepared By: Boris Muha - Engineer – Traffic and Parking Services

Authorised By: Manod Wickramasinghe - A/Traffic and Transport Services Manager

SUMMARY

Community representations have been received for the installation of a mobility parking space near the newly located Post Office in Edwin Street North, Croydon. The proposed position of the mobility parking space would be near midblock within the shopping strip between Hennessy Street and Elizabeth Street and would replace an existing part time 'Loading Zone'.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT a 8.5m 'Disabled Parking 8.30am-6.00pm Mon-Fri., 8.30am-12.30pm Sat' zone with rear pram ramp, replace the existing ‘Loading Zone 8.30am – 6pm Mon-Fri, 8.30am-12.30pm Sat’ outside No.103 Edwin Street North, Croydon, just north of the existing midblock pedestrian crossing.

BACKGROUND

Concerns have been raised that there are no allocated mobility parking spaces at Edwin Street North, Croydon, around the shopping precinct, especially near the new Post Office. Parking demand ishigh in this area including demand generated by the PLC School

It is noted that the 'Loading Zone 8.30am – 6pm Mon-Fri and 8.30am-12.30pm Sat’ outside No.103 Edwin Street North) is not effectively been utilised and that an existing ‘Loading Zone 8.30am – 6pm Mon-Fri, 8.30am-12.30pm Sat’ on the opposite side, south of the midblock crossing, can service the various businesses on both sides of the street via use and connection of the crossing.

Two options have been developed for provision of a 'Disabled Parking' zone, with the preferred Option 1 replacing the part time 'Loading Zone' outside No.103 Edwin Street North. An alternate Option 2 location for a 'Disabled Parking' zone is also considered on the opposite side of the street as shown in the following diagrams.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

OTHER STAFF COMMENTS

The following comments are provided in support to the recommendation (Option 1).

· A proposed 'Disabled Parking' zone midblock in Edwin Street North (between Hennessey Street and Elizabeth Street) is considered of need and general benefit for customers having disability and attending the various shop/businesses in the area. It is proposed in a central location to all activities and near to a crossing that can facilitate pedestrian movement to both sides of the street.

· The zone is not recommended to the ends of the block for reasons of sight view or traffic conflict near intersections.

· The mobility parking space in this instance is proposed with a pram ramp to assist with access to and from the vehicle.

· The proposed mobility parking zone will only operate during business hours Mon-Sat, and converts to unrestricted parking outside of the hours.

· The remaining Loading Zone on the western side of the street would be considered adequate to service both sides of the street via use and connection of the crossing. Alternatively service vehicles can utilise the 1P parking zones adjacent to the loading zones and mail zone areas, or park ‘unrestricted’ outside of the zone time restrictions.

· Option 1 does not remove period parking in the area which is required for business customer parking.

· Option 2 removes approx. 1 and half spaces (9.0 to 9.5m) of period parking which is needed for business customer parking. The extra distance over that of option 1 is on account of the pram ramp needing to be built forward of the drainage pit.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Consultation letters have been issued out to some 60 residents & shop/business properties in the area shown on the distribution map. A consultation letter has also been issued to the Chamber of Commerce for them to comment on the matter.

Three (3) Submissions have been received, Two (2) submissions were received in support of option 1 with objection/concern to loss of parking with option 2. One (1) was received in dupport of option 2 and is is concerned with loss of loading zone provision in option 1.

The comments with officer’s comments are tabled below. Any further responses received will be tabled at the meeting.

Resident and shop/business comments

Officer’s Comments

Removing the loading zone (not used by vans/trucks and only by cars in our recent knowledge) and changing that to a disabled zone is the best option.

We don't believe putting the disabled spot out the front of active shops is best idea [western side of the street]. The small cafe/art gallery and others might struggle through losing the quick stop spot for selling coffees in the afternoons and on weekends. The parking opposite (near to Natalie Anne hair and other vacant/closed up shop fronts are typically parking for longer periods (illegally against the signposting) and do not visit/spend money at the shops opposite.

To avoid cutting in more pram ramps (there are nice pavers on both sides of the street at the two option locations) - the pedestrian cross is smooth/level to the road level for crossing over to the post office.

Another location suggestion. Closer to the rail corridor so disabled drivers/passengers can park and travel to Croydon Station a bit easier (as well as the post office)?

Noted in support of option 1 and non-support to option 2.

Disability access to the vehicle particularly with those in wheelchairs is safer from the footpath than near/off the roadway. The pram ramp coming off the footpath complies with Australian Standard design practice.

The location of the disabled parking zone is proposed away from the intersections for reasons of sight view and to minimise/avoid exposure conflict with traffic. The zone is not intended for disabled person commuter parking.

I strongly object to option 2 in front of my shop as this is for general parking for my customers and there is a need for it to remain as it is. Parents need this spot to park to drop their children off to attend the Art School and the Tutoring School next door. Parking is already limited in front of my business and this will definitely impact on my business.

Option 1 is the preferred option as this is currently a Loading Zone and it is currently not being utilised properly and it makes better sense to use this as a disabled parking space.

Noted in support of option 1 and non-support to option 2.

As a construction company, we receive material deliveries frequently throughout the weekdays, and there are multiple loading and unloading of the constructions tools as well, so it will be more convenient and less hazardous, to adapt the option 2 as a disabled parking zone, and leave the parking space (option 1 ) as it is as a loading zone.

Acknowledged that the business is next to the affected Loading Zone and is more convenient in the handling of materials to the shop. However the loading zone on the opposite side via use of the crossing could still be used or that service vehicles. There may also be opportunities for delivery drivers to utilize the adjoining 1P zones.

Resident Comments	Officer’s Comments
Support I agree with the proposal to install No Parking restrictions on both sides of Gould Lane between Gould Ave and Gould Lane. I have experienced difficulty accessing my garage in Gould Lane due to trucks parked in this part of the Lane.	Resident comments in supported of the proposal are noted.
I give my full support to this proposal. I often see vehicles parked in the area outlined in the proposal and this makes driving through that section difficult. Larger vehicles such as the vehicles used for weekly garbage collection would have an even more difficult time with that section.
Our driveway and garage is at the end of Gould Lane and we find it very difficult to navigate the car past cars, SUVs and trucks that park in the laneway constantly. I am not sure emergency vehicles or garbage trucks would be able to make it down there with vehicles parked on the laneway.
I would like to support this proposal as we often see vehicles parked in the lane … generally not a problem unless a truck is parked.
I live in the apartment block - 264 New Canterbury Road - which backs onto Gould Lane/ the park. See your aerial photograph. I wholeheartedly support this proposal. Frequently vehicles semi block the area illustrated in the proposal, making negotiating the lane both difficult and time consuming for residents, refuse collection, tradesmen, visitors. I fail to see why this wasn’t done when several years ago the rest of Gould Lane was converted to “no parking”. Now’s the time to correct this oversight. Would be much appreciated by all who use Gould Lane to access properties.
Re: the proposal to install parking restrictions between Gould Avenue and Gould Lane - I use Gould lane for access to my property. I vote YES to install parking restrictions in the proposed area - there are always cars parked along this area making egress and ingress very difficult.
I am writing this email to offer my support in the proposal of the ‘No Parking’ both sides between Gould Avenue & Gould Lane. I would like to see the proposal of the No Parking signs to take effect immediately At Times, I have found myself having to squeeze through parked trucks and other residential vehicles that are constantly parked there whether it be during the day or night. I have added some pictures for your review. Your understanding would be greatly appreciated.

Residents’ Comments	Officer Comments
Smith Street is a quiet and low traffic street. Does not think that boats and trailer parked in Smith Street is a safety risk to pedestrian accessing the park and park users. Smith Street is a least inconvenient or concerning places for them to be parked.	Boats on a trailer are generally larger than a private vehicle in residential streets and may impose reduced sight lines to pedestrian crossing Smith Street to/from the White Creek Valley Park. Long term parking of boats also reduces parking availability for park users.
By disallowing boat trailers and allowing motor vehicles under 4.5t, it is substituting one obstruction for another.
The park is accessed via various pedestrian footpaths and sight is not reduced by vehicles.
Resident parking availability is reduced due to long term parking of boats.	Noted.
Numerous occasions, crossing with young children after checking for cars is startled as a car emerges from the laneway, obscured from view by the trailers that are always parked there.
Smith Street crossing, along Piper Street is used by school children every day walking to school and Whites Creek Playground.
