LTC0919 Item 1 Richardsons Crescent & Carrington Road, Marrickville - Request for Pedestrian Crossing Facility
(Midjuburi Marrickville Ward/ Summer Hill Electorate/ Inner West PAC)

SUMMARY

A request has been received for the provision of a marked pedestrian zebra crossing on Richardson’s Crescent (adjacent to Mackey Park) and Carrington Road (near Renwick Street), Marrickville to provide safe crossing opportunities for pedestrians, particularly school children. Pedestrian counts have been conducted and the results are presented within this report for Committee’s consideration.

 

The volume of traffic and pedestrians counted at Richardsons Crescent, between Carrington Road and the roundabout have met the Roads and Maritime Service (RMS) warrants for a marked pedestrian zebra crossing. However RMS warrants for a marked pedestrian zebra crossing could not be met for Carrington Road, at its intersection with Renwick Street.

 

Officer’s Recommendation

 

THAT:

 

1.       The proposal to implement a marked pedestrian zebra crossing at the footpath widening/ road narrowing in Richardsons Crescent, approximately 60 metres west of the roundabout be approved;

2.       Implementation of 18 metres of ‘No Stopping’ zone on the southern side of Richardsons Crescent, south of the footpath widening on the western side of Richardsons Crescent be approved;

3.       Extension of the existing ‘No Stopping’ on the northern side of Richardsons Crescent, immediately west of the existing footpath widening to a position immediately west of the adjacent driveway be approved;

4.       The Principals (of Ferncourt Public School, Tempe High School and Tempe Public School) and the P&C be advised in terms of the outcome of this report; and

5.       Council incorporate these works into its priority program for Traffic Facilities Capital Works.

 

DISCUSSION

 

Councillor Macri noted that residents were supportive of the Officer’s recommendation.

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

LTC0919 Item 2 Boomerang Street and Crescent Street, Haberfield - Proposed Intersection Treatment (Gulgadya-Leichhardt Ward/Summer Hill Electorate/Burwood PAC)

SUMMARY

 

A review of the detailed design plan has been finalised for the proposed intersection treatment at Boomerang Street and Crescent Street, Haberfield.

 

The proposal includes installing kerb extension in Crescent Street at Boomerang Street intersection and speed cushions in Boomerang Street to improve safety and reduce vehicular speeds in the street.

 

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

 

Officer’s RECOMMENDATION

 

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

 

DISCUSSION

 

Public speaker: Mr. Ted Cassidy attended at 10.04am.

 

Mr Cassidy did not support the recommendation as he believed the speed of the traffic will increase the risk to pedestrian safety. He noted that there is no warrant for a pedestrian crossing as the local residents are already aware of speeding along Boomerang Street.

 

Mr Cassidy suggested that the kerb extension be relocated to Boomerang Street and the proposed pedestrian refuge be relocated to the southern side of Boomerang Street before the Crescent Street T junction.

 

Mr Cassidy tabled an amended plan.

 

(Mr Cassidy left at 10.09am)

 

Council Officer’s to confirm if locating a pedestrian refuge outside the bus stop on Boomerang Street will cause an impediment.

 

Transit Systems representative to confirm status of existing bus stop on Boomerang Street and whether it is redundant with the removal of the bus service.

 

The Bicycle Coalition representative suggested locating a pedestrian refuge further south of Boomerang Street near Mortley Avenue.

 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT the installation of a pedestrian refuge in Boomerang Street, south of Crescent Street be investigated and a revised plan of the intersection be brought back to the Committee.

LTC0919 Item 17 63-65 Pyrmont Bridge Road, Annandale - Additional Information for     Modification of Development Consent (Gulgadya-Leichhardt Ward/      Balmain Electorate/ Leichhardt PAC)

SUMMARY

Additional information has been submitted as part of the Modification of Development Consent Application (DA/2017/637) to provide vehicular access to the development at No.63-65 Pyrmont Bridge Road, Annandale via Mallett Street. The development application is for an alteration to the existing building for use as a fitness centre (relocation of the Camperdown Fitness Facility at No. 166-172 Parramatta Road) which was presented to the Local Traffic Committee in November 2018.

Comments of the Local Traffic Committee will be referred to Council’s Development Assessment Section for consideration in determining the Modification of Development Consent Application.

 

Officer’s RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT the report be received and noted.

 

DISCUSSION

 

Public speakers: Vince Doan, Bruce Tuolfo, Michael Wood and Paul Vella attended at 10.11am.

 

Mr Doan noted that Bignell Lane does not provide a two way entry/exit, when multiple vehicles enter and exit simultaneously; one vehicle is required to reverse.

 

Mr Doan advised that the proposed vehicle access should be entry only via Mallett Street and exit only via Bignell Lane. Mr Doan considered that this will ensure safer vehicle access and one way flow removing conflict from Bignell Lane.

 

Mr Doan noted Council concerns that heavy vehicles can pass the proposed median in Mallett Street southbound but the concept plan does not demonstrate heavy vehicles manouvouring Mallett Street northbound. The southbound section is narrower than northbound when the median is in place. Heavy vehicles will easily be accommodated northbound.

 

Mr Doan stated that the amendment allows heavy vehicles in both directions with kerbside parking. Currently, Bignell Lane causes queuing on Mallett Street which is a safety concern. Camperdown Fitness has been required to use traffic controllers to control the current traffic flow hazard.

 

Mr Troulfo advised the matter was currently in a Section 34 conciliation conference in the Land and Environment Court. Council officers to receive and note recommendations.

 

(Vince Doan, Bruce Tuolfo, Michael Wood and Paul Vella left at 10.19am)

 

 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT:

 

1.    The traffic consultant’s advice that heavy vehicles and  kerbside parking can be accommodated with the proposed median and the proposed access via Mallett Street and egress via Bignell Lane being a safer access arrangement be noted.

2.    Consideration be given to extending the proposed median in Mallet Street a few metres south of the access driveway to reduce the possibility of U-turn’s into the development’s driveway.

 

For motion: Unanimous
