LTC1019 Item 21 Burrows Avenue and Hogan Avenue, Sydenham – Sydney Metro SSJ Works – Temporary traffic control arrangements – Pedestrian safety issues (Midjuburi - Marrickville Ward / Heffron Electorate / Inner West PAC)

SUMMARY

Pedestrian safety concerns have been raised in relation to the temporary traffic control

arrangements, by Sydney Metro SSJ’s Group Sydenham Station construction works, on

Burrows Avenue and Hogan Avenue, Sydenham at Council’s Local Traffic Committee meeting on 3 June 2019 and at Council’s Ordinary Meeting on 27 August 2019. This report addresses the issues raised.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT this report be received and noted.

DISCUSSION

The Committee noted that the Member for Heffron, Ron Hoenig MP acknowledges that his requests for temporary marked zebra pedestrian crossings were rejected because vehicle and pedestrian numbers did not meet RMS warrants, but were close to meeting the warrants. It is Mr Hoenig’s view that the nature of the heavy construction work, the new pedestrian overpass and the possible increase in pedestrian movements during the construction period support the need for temporary zebra crossings on Burrows Avenue and Hogan Avenue. He also noted that a permanent crossing on Burrows Avenue is proposed on completion of the Sydney Metro station construction.

The RMS representative stated that RMS will obtain a full report from Sydney Metro to confirm whether a temporary marked pedestrian crossing would be warranted. The RMS representative advised that pedestrian refuges can be safer than marked crossings as pedestrians have a perception that they have right of way at a marked crossing and as a result, do not check traffic before crossing. Accidents are more frequent at marked pedestrian crossings than at pedestrian refuges for this reason.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

this report be received and noted.
The RMS representative be requested to report back to the Committee on the outcome of her review on whether a temporary marked pedestrian crossing would be warranted in Burrows Avenue, Sydenham.

For motion: Unanimous

LTC1019 Item 22 Review into Simplification of Parking Signs (All Wards / All Electorates / All LACs)

SUMMARY

Council has requested a report to review how Council can simplify parking signs throughout

the municipality and be brought to the Traffic Committee for its consideration. This report reviews two examples of complex signs and identifies the opportunities and constraints in simplifying those signs in line with RMS requirements. To effectively simplify signage through the municipality, a decision must be made to reduce the types of parking zones in affect along any one section of kerb space. However, this would come at the cost of providing flexibility of parking spaces within the Inner West LGA.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT this report be received and noted.

DISCUSSION

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT this report be received and noted.

LTC1019 Item 24 Request to make unnamed laneway in Leichhardt resident access only

The Police representative advised that residents raised concerns with construction noise and heavy vehicle activity from the redevelopment of the aged care facility (Harold Hawkins) at the laneway parallel to Norton Street between Marion Street and Allen Street. The concerned residents requested that the laneway permanently be accessible only to residents. Transit Systems advised that the ‘Works Zone’ for the aged care facility can be relocated to Norton Street as the bus stop on Norton Street can be temporarily decommissioned for the ‘Works Zone’. It was noted that an application to relocate the ‘Works Zone’ has not been submitted to Council yet.

LTC1019 Item 25 Signalised crossing at corner of Pyrmont Bridge Road and Parramatta Road, Camperdown

A resident has raised concerns regarding the signalised pedestrian crossing at the corner of Pyrmont Bridge Road and Parramatta Road, Camperdown. The resident reported that near misses at the crossing have occurred due to motorists either ignoring or not seeing the left turn holding signal from Parramatta Road and turning into Pyrmont Bridge Road when pedestrians are crossing. Council has forwarded the resident’s concerns to Police and RMS for enforcement action and investigation into the signal phasing at the intersection.

LTC1019 Item 26 Proposed changes to parking in Jubilee Place, Balmain

Clr Macri raised concerns residents are having with Police proposing to implement a ‘No Parking’ zone on the southern side of Jubilee Place, Balmain and converting some parking spaces into Police parking. The Committee was advised that Jubilee Place is Crown Land managed by Police and that Police need more road space to manoeuvre their vehicles and wide tow boats to the Marine Area Command facility. Council is currently undertaking community consultation and a report will be presented to the Committee to approve signage.

LTC1019 Item 27 Trailers parked on Darley Road, Leichhardt

The representative for the Member for Balmain advised that a number of trailers, including some burnt out trailers, are still parked on Darley Road, Leichhardt following the implementation of parking restrictions in the street. Council Officers advised that Council Rangers have made numerous attempts to contact the owners of the trailers and continue to do so. Council Rangers will be notified of the burnt out trailers.

LTC1019 Item 28 Committee thanks Ryan Horne

The Committee thanked Ryan Horne, former RMS representative to Inner West Council, for his assistance to Council and the Committee over the years and wished him well in his new position with Transport for NSW.

Technical Standards

Australian Standard AS2890.5-1993 “On-Street Parking” states the following in regards to the provision of parking for people with a disability:

“Parallel parking spaces shall not be marked as disabled spaces, nor included in the count of spaces available for people with disabilities unless –

i. A 3.2m wide space can be provided, e.g. by indenting the space into the footpath area; and

ii. Kerb ramps as shown in Figure 4.2(a) are also provided”.

It should be noted that due to the limited width of streets around the LGA, it is often difficult to comply with these requirements for the parking space dimensions. This may also result in the loss of some adjacent on-street parking spaces.

Mobility parking spaces are primarily intended for on-street and off-street parking at destinations, such as in commercial/retail areas and public car parks near hospitals, schools and public transport facilities where multiple usages can be expected. They were generally not intended for points of origin such as reserving on-street parking. As such, they are only proposed where required for wheelchair access at the cost of the applicants.

A mobility parking space is not intended for the sole use of one applicant, but rather a shared facility that can used by all authorised persons having a RMS mobility permit.

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

4 November 2019

Item No: LTC1119 Item 3

Subject: Queen Street at Hanks Street & Queen Street at Griffiths Street, Ashfield - Proposed Improved Traffic Calming at the intersections including Speed cushions (Design Plans 10082_A & 10102) (Djarrawunang - Ashfield Ward / Summer Hill Electorate / Burwood PAC)

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

Authorised By: John Stephens - Traffic and Transport Services Manager

SUMMARY

Design plans have been prepared for proposed traffic calming and speed cushions along Queen Street at Hanks Street and Griffiths Street, Ashfield. The proposed works received funding from the RMS Blackspot Program and the works will improve pedestrian and motorists' safety and addresses residents' concerns about speeding, driver behaviour and pedestrian safety at these locations.

Consultation was undertaken with nearby owners and occupiers of properties in Queen Street, Hanks Street and Griffiths Street regarding the proposals. A revised plan was prepared for the roundabout at Queen Street/Hank Street after considering feedback from residents. It is recommended that the proposed detailed design plans be approved.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the detailed design plans for the proposed intersection improvements along with associated signage and line marking at Queen Street and Hanks Street, Ashfield (Design Plan No.10082_A) and Queen Street at Griffiths Street, Ashfield (Design Plan No.10102) be APPROVED.

BACKGROUND

The community has raised concerns in relation to the existing 4-leg roundabouts at the intersections of Queen Street with Hanks Street and Griffiths Street. Vehicles were reported to be speeding through the roundabouts and failing to give way. The proposed speed cushions will physically reduce vehicle speeds on approaches to the roundabouts and pedestrian crossing points of the intersections. The kerb blister islands and rumble bars will assist and direct vehicles over the speed cushions.

A Blackspot submission was made in 2018 for funding to upgrade the intersections and was successful. Design Plans were prepared and sent out to nearby residents. Following completion of the resident consultation process, Council Officers have considered community feedback and have incorporated amendments into the original consultation plan that was sent to residents on 13 September 2019 for the Queen Street at Hanks Street, Ashfield proposal.

Council Officers have made the following changes to the original design plan sent out:-

· The previously proposed pedestrian refuge islands have been removed and replaced with rumble bars; see the attached revised plan 10082_A.

· The previously proposed ‘No Stopping’ signs and chevron line markings have been removed.

As a result of this amended road safety proposal, there is no net loss in on-street parking.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The estimated cost of the project is approximately $98,250 and the projects have been fully funded in the 2019/2020 financial year under the RMS Blackspot Program.

OFFICER COMMENTS

Site Location & Road Network

Both intersections are 4-leg roundabouts and are approximately 100 metres apart. The original concerns at the intersections were that the sight lines to the approaches were affected by building and property fence and tree line obstructions close to the corners. Motorists either failed to Give Way or ignored the Give Way control. The wide nature of the roundabouts suit large vehicles manoeuvring them; however, encourages cars to speed through them. There is a slight angle deviation and crest rise in the road to the south of Griffiths Street from the roundabout at Queen Street and there is a slight dip into the roundabout (Queen Street and Hanks Street) from both approaches in Queen Street which adds to downhill speeding to the

roundabout.

A summary of the traffic data is provided in the table below:

Design Plans 10082_A and 10102

-------------------------------------------

Council is planning improvements in Queen Street at Hanks Street intersection as well as in Queen Street at Griffiths Street intersection. Detailed design plans for the proposed intersection treatment and associated signage and line marking at Queen Street and Hanks Street (Design Plan 10082_A – Attachment 1), and the proposed intersection treatment and associated signage and line marking at Queen Street and Griffiths Street (Design Plan 10102 – Attachment 2) are submitted for consideration.

The following works are proposed and are illustrated on the attached plans:

1. Queen Street and Hanks Street, Ashfield - PLAN NO. 10082_A

- Install rumble bars in splitter island south side on Queen Street.

- Install rumble bars in splitter island east side on Hanks Street.

- Provide speed cushions on Hanks Street and Queen Street on approach to roundabout.

- Implement new linemarking and signage to facilitate better traffic flow and for pedestrian safety.

2. Queen Street and Griffiths Street, Ashfield – PLAN NO. 10102

- Provide speed cushions in Griffiths Street and Queen Street on approach to roundabout.

- Implement signage to facilitate better traffic flow and for pedestrian safety.

Both proposals will result in no loss of legal parking spaces in Queen Street, Hanks Street and/or Griffiths Street.

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

A consultation letter as well as a copy of the design plans (Plan 10082 and Plan 10102) for the traffic calming works at the intersections of Queen Street at Hanks Street and Queen Street at Griffiths Street was sent out on 13 September and the submission period was closed on 30 September. A total of 69 letters were distributed as per the consultation map shown below.

Sixteen (16) residents signed the petition against original plan number 10082. Four (4) car parking spaces on-street would have been removed. Following completion of the resident consultation process, Council Officers considered community feedback and incorporated amendments into the original consultation plan that was sent to residents on 13 September 2019 – Plan 10082_A.

Residents’ Comments

Officer’s Response

Petition - We the residents of Queen and Hank Street Ashfield oppose the proposed changes in our street. We believe that these new changes only adversely affect the Character of the street that some residents have grown up too or chosen to reside in. We believe reducing the width the streets only hampers the flow of traffic which is a problem in itself for residents exiting from their homes in the morning and afternoon travelling to and from work. Finally the No stopping signage in front of some homes is a major Concern as this will reduce the available parking that are of benefit for residents and the greater community which readily use it. Hurlstone Park Vietnamese Church located at 12 Griffith Street is an example which uses available parking in these streets hence limiting any available parking will become an inconvenience for everyone. We believe the negative repercussions of the proposed changes outweigh the very little benefit which has prompted us to take this stance.

The previously proposed pedestrian refuge islands have been removed and replaced with rumble bars; see the attached revised plan 10082_A.

The previously proposed ‘No Stopping’ signs and chevron line markings have been removed.

As a result of this amended road safety proposal, there is no net loss in on-street parking.

The speeding mainly occurs with the cars coming down Queen street, towards Hanks Street from the Griffiths street intersection. The cars tend to not slow down when approaching the roundabout and go straight through without looking. Many times I’ve seen near miss accidents.

I’ve attached a marked up 10082 plan showing the relocation of the “No Stopping “signs on the other side of my driveway please. This will ensure no cars temporarily block my driveway.

Noted.

Plan number 10082 has been amended. As a result of this amended road safety proposal, there is no net loss in on-street parking.

I strongly support the proposed change at these two locations.

I recommend that the proposed speed cushions be of high quality strength, to minimise both the cost and disruption of long term maintenance.

I would very much appreciate the addition of some landscape improvements, where possible

Noted.

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that the detailed design plans of the proposed intersection treatments on Queen Street at Hanks Street and Queen Street at Griffiths Street and all associated signage and linemarking be approved to improve safety at these intersections.

The Applicant has advised that Saywell Street will be closed to traffic thoroughfare so the event can successfully occur and has supplied a TCP (VG.19.141) showing extent of the full road closure and detours (reproduced below and attached in the TMP).

Saturday business hours closures:

1. Saturday closures have been reduced to allow free flowing access for businesses & residents within the affected area.

2. Saywell St closed from Shirlow st x Garden St to Cadogan St

3. A Drop off area will operate along Saywell st between Cadogan St to Fitzroy St.

4. Shirlow St x Garden St. (Access for VIPs, Artists, Event Staff & Emergency Vehicles)

5. Saywell St Closed at Garden st for BOH

Saturday outside of business hours closures:

1. Saywell St closed from Shirlow st x Garden St to Fitzroy St

2. A Drop off area will operate along Saywell st between Cadogan St to Fitzroy St.

3. Shirlow St x Garden St. (Access for VIPs, Artists, Event Staff & Emergency Vehicles)

4. Saywell St Closed at Garden st for BOH

6. No Access to the Event Area from Sydenham Ln, Shirlow st, Sloane Ln, Sloane St, Cadogan Ln & Cadogan St for Security measures & congestion control.

The proposed street closure is from 7pm on Friday 17 January 2020 which will be after close of business for all of the businesses on Saywell Street until 7am on Monday 20 January 2020.

The applicant will liaise closely with the businesses on Saywell Street to ensure they will not require access over the proposed weekend. However, if they do require access, the applicant can facilitate this between the hours of 6am and the midday via Saywell on any days required.

Site layout will be as shown in the diagram reproduced below:

The main entrance to the event site for attendees will be from Fitzroy Street. Emergency access will be from both Saywell and Shirlow Streets. All emergency routes will be manned by security, regularly checked for obstructions and will be lit in periods of darkness.

Directional signage to the event will be provided in the surrounding streets and at Sydenham train station. The event site and all access pathways will be illuminated in periods of darkness for safety and security reasons. All contractors will be given a schedule for arrival and departure in order to prevent congestion on site and ensure the smooth running of the work program.

A 4-metre wide emergency vehicle access must be maintained through the closed road areas during the course of the event. Special Event advance notice signs will be strategically installed at least two (2) 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 signs within the area of the event on the evening of the day prior to the event date.

Impacts on Parking and Vehicular access

The proposed road closure will have an impact on approximately 60 plus on-street car parking spaces along both sides of Saywell Street during the event. Given that Saywell Street abuts mainly commercial properties the on-street parking demand on the weekends is significantly lower than weekdays. It should be noted that there are three residential properties in Shirlow Street, and these properties will have access during the temporary road closure period. Access through the rear of these properties in Sloane Lane will still be retained during that weekend. In September 2019 all adjoining residential and commercial properties have been notified by the applicant of the proposed event and regarding parking and access needs to their properties so they can be accommodated by the applicant.

Impacts on traffic

Saywell Street carries a low volume of traffic and therefore the diverted traffic will have no major impacts on surrounding road network. The event will be held on the weekend when lower than weekday traffic volumes are expected.

Public Transport

The subject site has access to public transport services, with Sydenham Railway Station being located within a 200 metre radius from the site and bus routes (Route M30, 418, 425) operating along Marrickville Road, Railway Parade and Gleeson Avenue.

HEAPS GAY STREET PARTY 2019 TMP V1.2

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

4 November 2019

Item No: LTC1119 Item 20

Subject: D3 Iron Cove to Anzac Bridge – Regional Cycleway Design (Gulgadya-Leichhardt & BALUDARRI-BALMAIN WARDS/BALMAIN ELECTORATE/LEICHHARDT PAC)

Prepared By: Stephen Joannidis - Urban Amenity Improvement - Delivery Manager

Authorised By: John Stephens - Traffic and Transport Services Manager

SUMMARY

Council is proposing to upgrade cycle facilities in parts of Haberfield, Leichhardt, Lilyfield and Rozelle and along Lilyfield Road. Previous investigations and community engagements resulted in the concept option put forward by Council being largely rejected by the community. As a result, Council has re-engaged with the community to seek feedback on a number of alternatives so that Council can progress with an option that the community support.

In this instance, Council put forward two (2) options for consideration along Lilyfield Road, as follows:

A. Provision of an on road cycle facility, comprising cycle lanes on sections with an uphill gradient and a mixed traffic profile where cyclists share the traffic lane with vehicles on downhill sections; and

B. Provision of a bi-directional separated cycleway, comprising a number of one way sections of Lilyfield Road. This was the option previously consulted.

In addition, due to feedback about the steepness of Lilyfield Road at the western end, four supplementary routes were developed in collaboration with the local Bicycle User Groups and these were included in the engagement process to determine the community’s preference for an alternative route with more gentle gradients. The supplementary routes were as follows:

1. Hawthorne Canal to Balmain Road;

2. Waratah Street to Balmain Road;

3. Charles Street to Henry Street; and

4. Maliyawul Street to Balmain Road.

Community feedback for Lilyfield Road was consistent with the previous engagement process, with Option A favoured and the implementation of one way sections unanimously objected to.

Community feedback for the supplementary routes was mixed, with no option favoured in a majority and a significantly reduced number of respondents commenting when compared to Lilyfield Road. Whilst Route 4 was favoured in a small majority as part of the engagement process, Route 2 is favoured by the local Bicycle Users Groups and it is on this basis that both options are suggested for progression to the concept design stage and for further consultation following that.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the Committee supports the progression of the project as follows:

· Lilyfield Road – develop a concept design for Option A and re-engage with the community following development; and

· Supplementary Routes – develop concept designs for Routes 2 and 4 and re-engage with the community following development.

BACKGROUND

The proposed Regional Cycleway Route from Iron Cove to ANZAC Bridge, Rozelle along Lilyfield Road was identified in the Inner Sydney Regional Bike Plan and the former Leichhardt Council’s 2016 Bike Plan as a route to be upgraded to a separated two-way cycleway.

Inner West Council commenced investigations and concept design for a separated cycleway along Lilyfield Road in late 2015. The route included a bi-directional separated cycleway along Lilyfield Road from the western bank of the pedestrian / cycle bridge over Hawthorne Canal to the overhead pedestrian / cycle bridge on Victoria Road, a length of approximately 2.7km.

In response to the level of resident and Bike User Group concern expressed during the last phase of community and stakeholder engagement undertaken between November 2017 and March 2018, Council resolved to develop a revised plan for the cycleway following investigation of several options.

This report outlines the outcomes of that further engagement process.

Financial Implications

The project is fully funded by the NSW Government and aims to increase safety for bike riders, pedestrians and motorists.

Officer Comments:

Lilyfield Road Cycleway and Supplementary Route Options

Following the previous engagement process, a feasibility assessment was carried out along Lilyfield Road to identify and assess a range of options that improve the cycle facilities along the road, as well as improving the safety for cyclists, pedestrians and motorists. The assessment identified the following options:

B. Provision of a bi-directional separated cycleway, comprising a number of one way sections of Lilyfield Road. This was the option previously consulted.

It is noted that Option A is essentially an upgrade of the existing provisions on site, with signage and line marking improvements, and switching the side of the road that the cycle lane is on in some sections to ensure that cyclists in the uphill direction benefit from such a facility. Option B is essentially the option that was included as part of the previous 2017 and 2018 engagement processes. Other options were considered, but were not put forward for a variety of reasons.

As part of the previous engagement, it was noted that the western section of Lilyfield Road was steep in an eastbound direction and that this may be an impediment to some cyclists. In collaboration with the local Bicycle User Groups, Council developed a number of supplementary routes that avoided the steep section of Lilyfield Road. Whilst these routes were often longer in terms of distance to be cycled, they offered an alternative to Lilyfield Road with gentler gradients.

The identified supplementary routes were as follows:

1. Hawthorne Canal to Balmain Road;

2. Waratah Street to Balmain Road;

3. Charles Street to Henry Street; and

4. Maliyawul Street to Balmain Road.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

The options as identified for Lilyfield Road and the supplementary routes were put forward as part of the community engagement process and comment sought on the community’s preference.

It was noted that a further engagement process would follow this one, whereby the concept designs resulting from the feedback received as part of this process, would be presented for further comment.

188 responses were received for this project. This included 162 responses via the Your Say Inner West project page and 26 responses via email directly to Council’s Project Manager.

Of the 188 responses, 21 common and general points were raised directly related to the proposals as follows:

Lilyfield Road

1. Support Section 1 proposal;

2. Support Section 1 proposal with kerb separation;

3. Prefers Section 2, Option A;

4. Prefers Section 2, Option B;

5. Prefers section 3, Option A;

6. Prefers section 3, Option B;

7. Against all options with one way streets;

8. All plans unsuitable. Leave as is; and

9. Route needs to integrate with WestConnex parkland/ Rozelle goods line.

Supplementary Routes

10. Prefers supplementary route through light rail tunnel instead of options proposed;

11. Supportive of supplementary routes;

12. Supplementary routes are preferred to Lilyfield Road;

13. For supplementary route 1;

14. For supplementary route 2;

15. For supplementary route 3;

16. For supplementary route 4;

17. Against supplementary route 1;

18. Against supplementary route 2;

19. Against supplementary route 3;

20. Against supplementary route 4; and

21. Against all supplementary routes.

It is noted that respondents typically offered more than one comment in each submission.

For Lilyfield Road, the responses were generally in favour of the on road cycle lane and mixed traffic options, with the only general issue receiving greater comment being the 88 respondents objecting to any option that resulted in one way sections of Lilyfield Road.

A common comment also related to coordination with WestConnex should be undertaken to ensure a link through the proposed parkland and connection to ANZAC Bridge. In relation to this, it is noted that Council is in communication with Transport for New South Wales, but final plans for the WestConnex works in the vicinity are not developed currently.

For the supplementary routes, response numbers were far less than those received related to Lilyfield Road. None of the four options was favoured in a majority, with the largest response being from respondents being against all the supplementary routes. In real terms, Route 4, connecting Maliyawul Street to Balmain Road, was the preferred supplementary option, with a minor majority.

It is noted that Route 2 is favoured by the local Bicycle User Groups.

In consideration of the supplementary routes to progress to the concept design stage and to further community engagement, it is suggested that both Route 2 and Route 4 are put forward. It is considered that these two routes best serve the community in providing an alternative to the steep section of Lilyfield Road between Charles Street and Mary Street as they service different sections of the adjacent suburbs.

Route 4, favoured by the community as part of the engagement process, services those connecting to and from Iron Cove and the Bay Run, and provides a link from the western end of Lilyfield Road, bypassing the steep gradient and connecting to Lilyfield Road at the Balmain Road intersection.

Route 2, favoured by the Bicycle User Groups, provides a link to and from the south and the Greenway. It provides a link to and from the Greenway, bypassing the steep section and connecting to Lilyfield Road at the Balmain Road intersection.

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that the Committee supports the progression of the project as follows:

· Lilyfield Road – develop a concept design for Option A and re-engage with the community following development; and

· Supplementary Routes – develop concept designs for Routes 2 and 4 and re-engage with the community following development.

A letter outlining the above proposal was mailed out to the affected 17 properties in Nelson Street and Trafalgar Lane, Annandale, requesting residents’ views regarding the proposal. 4 responses were received with 2 in support, 1 in general support with request for changes and 1 in objection.
Residents’ Comments	Officer Comments
The extension of the existing ‘No Parking’ zone will result in more cars illegally parking in the visitor parking spaces in our apartment complex. The cost of towing becomes the responsibility of the residents.	This is a matter for the body corporate to enforce illegally parked vehicles on the private property.
Council should also install a ‘No Parking’ restriction on the eastern side of Trafalgar Lane. Vehicles constantly park so close to the corner of Trafalgar Lane and Booth Lane, restricting sightlines. As residents of Trafalgar Lane who have driveway access on the western side, we have the same restricted vehicular access issues due to parked vehicles on the opposite side.	Council’s Parking Services team will be advised so that they can arrange appropriate enforcement of illegal parking behaviour at this location. The installation of a ‘No Stopping’ and ‘No Parking’ restrictions along the eastern side of Trafalgar Lane will be investigated as a separate matter as any potential loss of on-street parking will need to be consulted with affected residents.

The parking spot takes small cars quite easily but not four-wheel drive. Maybe we could have lines painted on the road to stop over parking by large vehicles as a safety measure but no need to stop a small car parking. (2 similar comments) No resident/parents who pick up their kids from school uses motorbike. Each house in No.33-37 has a double garage meaning we do not need the motor bike parking space. (2 similar comments)	The existing 2.2m kerb space is insufficient to accommodate a standard size vehicle. Installing a motorbike parking space will maximise use of this redundant 2.2m kerb space whilst providing parking for motorbikes and scooters.
Completely support the proposal as it improves the visibility when exiting the carpark driveway onto Trafalgar St would help prevent serious accidents.	Noted.
When we exit the driveway and turn right it is impossible to see oncoming traffic due to a car parked in the first car space to the right of the driveway. Could this parking spot be changed into a ‘No Stopping’ zone or install a mirror so that drivers exiting this driveway have visibility	There is no proposal to remove parking to the right of the driveway. The proposed treatment is preferred as it still retains on-street parking for another vehicle user group. Convex mirrors are not provided for private driveways. Also, they provide distorted vehicle distance and approach speed because of their convex nature.
Council in recent months has put not one but two poles blocking access for a car to park in this space. The second one was completely unnecessary and makes it more difficult for a car to park.	The bollards were installed to prevent illegal parking over the garden bed and overhanging into the driveway.
