LTC0220 Item 2  Bay Run at UTS Rowing Club, Haberfield - Proposed signage and pavement marking upgrade (Gulgadya-Leichhardt Ward/Summer Hill Electorate/ Burwood PAC)

SUMMARY

Council have received concerns from Bay Run users regarding safety on the shared path in front of the UTS Rowing Club, Haberfield. Council has scheduled an upgrade for this section of the Bay Run and the detailed design for the upgrade will commence mid-2020. In the interim, it is proposed that signage and pavement markings upgrade works be undertaken.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT the proposed signage and pavement markings upgrade for the Bay Run around the UTS Haberfield Rowing Club building be approved.

DISCUSSION

Clr da Cruz suggested that cyclists and pedestrians be reminded to keep left on the shared path.

The Inner West Bicycle Coalition representative commented that the Rowing Club often parks a large vehicle in front of the building and suggested that if this is a legal parking space that it be linemarked so that it does not obstruct the shared path.

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT the proposed signage and pavement markings upgrade for the Bay Run around the UTS Haberfield Rowing Club building be approved.

For motion: Unanimous

 LTC0220 Item 9 Clissold Street, Ashfield - Investigation of Proposed Works from the Ashfield Traffic Management Strategy (Djarrawunang-Ashfield Ward/Summer Hill Electrorate/Burwood PAC)

SUMMARY

The Former Ashfield Local Government Area Traffic Management Strategy as adopted by Council in August 2018 recommended investigation of a number of actions in the vicinity of Clissold Street and Seaview Street Ashfield, including treatments at intersections and an investigation of a one-way pair route for buses in Clissold Street and Seaview Street. This report details the investigations and presents recommendations based on liaison with key stakeholders, investigations of crash data, traffic surveys and site investigations (including constraints).

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT:

1.   The results of the investigation into the proposal of converting Clissold Street and Seaview Street as opposing directional one-way streets be noted, and that no further action be undertaken in relation to this matter;

2.   The current parking arrangements in Clissold Street as previously adopted by the Former Ashfield Council in 2015 be retained, and that no further action be carried out to remove further parking in Clissold Street; and

3.   The following works be adopted in principle and listed for consideration on the Capital Works Program:

a.   Install kerb island build-outs on Prospect Road, north and south of Clissold Street, Ashfield and realignment of the north-western corner of the intersection;

b.   Convert the existing at-grade pedestrian (zebra) crossing to a raised pedestrian (zebra) crossing in Clissold Street, west of Victoria Street;

c.   Install kerb island build-outs on the east and west side of Victoria Street south of Clissold Street;

d.   Install speed cushions, or speed humps in Queen Street on approaches to Clissold Street; and

e.   Install kerb island build-outs on the east side of Victoria Street, north and south of Seaview Street and relocate the ‘STOP’ line out to align with the kerb islands.

DISCUSSION

Public speakers: Graeme Kerr, Colleen Cook and Philip Carrick attended at 11.13am

Mr Kerr requested that this matter be deferred for further community consultation and  investigation of the pedestrian and vehicular safety issues and requested that further consideration be given to making Clissold and Seaview Street one-way.

Ms Cook and Mr Carrick agreed with Mr Kerr and commented that the environment and transport services in the area have changed and long-term traffic arrangements need to be reconsidered to keep up with the changes.

(Mr Kerr, Ms Cook and Mr Carrick left at 11.28am)

Council’s Officer advised that a Council representative met with residents last year to discuss issues raised by the speakers. Council’s Officer also stated that community consultation into converting Clissold Street and Seaview Street to one-way has not been undertaken as yet as the proposal at this stage was only being investigated for feasibility.

The Transit Systems representative stated that it would be difficult for buses to navigate from Holden Street to Seaview Street if Seaview Street were converted to one-way due to the constructions of kerbs. Furthermore, the narrow footpaths in Seaview Street make it unsuitable for bus stops.

The Transport for NSW representative requested for the design drawings of the kerb blisters and raised pedestrian crossing. Council Officers advised that the designs will be presented to the Committee for consideration following community consultation.

The Transit Systems representative requested for turning movement analysis be undertaken for the proposed kerb blisters to ensure that buses can safely navigate their way around the proposed devices. The representative also stated that as there are bus stops on both sides of the raised pedestrian crossing, the distance from the proposed crossing will need to comply with relevant Transport for NSW and bus design guidelines.

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

1.   The results of the investigation into the proposal of converting Clissold Street and Seaview Street as opposing directional one-way streets be noted, and that no further action be undertaken in relation to this matter;

2.   The current parking arrangements in Clissold Street as previously adopted by the Former Ashfield Council in 2015 be retained, and that no further action be carried out to remove further parking in Clissold Street; and

3.   The following works be adopted in principle and listed for consideration on the Capital Works Program:

a.   Install kerb island build-outs on Prospect Road, north and south of Clissold Street, Ashfield and realignment of the north-western corner of the intersection;

b.   Convert the existing at-grade pedestrian (zebra) crossing to a raised pedestrian (zebra) crossing in Clissold Street, west of Victoria Street;

c.   Install kerb island build-outs on the east and west side of Victoria Street south of Clissold Street;

d.   Install speed cushions, or speed humps in Queen Street on approaches to Clissold Street; and

e.   Install kerb island build-outs on the east side of Victoria Street, north and south of Seaview Street and relocate the ‘STOP’ line out to align with the kerb islands.

The representative for the Member for Balmain commented that the WestConnex site also operates on Saturdays and as such, Area R1 parking restrictions should include Saturday. Council Officers advised that Council will be undertaking an area wide study in the coming months to address worker parking. Consultation to extend Area R1 parking restrictions to Saturdays can be included in this study.

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

LTC0220 Item 12  Croydon Parking Study (Gulgadya-Leichhardt Ward/Summer Hill    Electorate/Burwood PAC)

SUMMARY

This is a recommendation to endorse the final Croydon Parking Study report. Council has recently undertaken Public Exhibition of the draft Croydon Parking Study through YourSay Inner West. The draft report proposed an expansion of the Resident Parking Scheme (RPS) on a number of streets in Croydon. The response results indicate that the community in general did not support the proposed strategy with a 73.6% non-support, as well as separate submissions and two petitions received during the public engagement. Several submissions requested a parking scheme with two free permits given to residents regardless of the number of off-street parking spaces. The views of the community on the proposed RPS areas indicate that whilst there is generally a desire to change the current parking management, concerns were raised with the proposed permit policy which has been used in other RPS areas in the Inner West.

In view of the high level of objections, it is recommended that the proposed Croydon Strategy not be supported at this time and further consideration for street specific RPS for the Croydon area cease for a period of 24 months until February 2022. Additionally, it is recommended that parking conditions be monitored on streets surrounding the Ashfield Aquatic Centre after its reopening in 2020. Any parking review is to be undertaken using data collected from the Croydon Parking Study.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT:

1.       The final Croydon Parking Study be noted;

2.       In view of the results of the Public Exhibition, stage 1 and 2 of the Croydon Parking Strategy not be supported at this time;

3.       Further consideration of street specific resident parking scheme for the Croydon area cease for 24 months until February 2022;

4.       Parking conditions be monitored on streets surrounding the Ashfield Aquatic Centre after its reopening in 2020; and 

5.       Any future parking review for the Croydon area is to be undertaken using data collected from the Croydon Parking Study.

DISCUSSION

Public speaker: James Ding attended at 10.12am

Mr Ding, speaking on behalf of residents of property no. 70, 72, 74, 74a, 76 and 78 Thomas Street, requested the following:

• Implement timed parking on the southern side of Thomas Street (west of Frederick Street), consistent with the current parking restrictions on the northern side of Thomas Street, to deter commuter and long-term parking . Alternatively, the southern side of Thomas Street have the same parking restrictions as Brady Street.
• Each household be allocated two parking permits regardless of how many parking spaces are on the property.
• Parking permits should be transferable free of charge to accommodate shorter term residents like those living in share houses.
• Visitor parking permits should be available through an online portal free of charge.

(Mr Ding left at 10.21am)

Committee members noted that the first issue raised by Mr Ding was addressed in the report. Council Officers advised that issuing two parking permits to residents regardless of the number of parking spaces on properties would create a demand for on-street parking in excess of the available spaces on the street. Enforcement action will be requested from Council’s Regulatory Services to investigate the abandoned vehicles in Thomas Street.

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT:

1.       The final Croydon Parking Study be noted;
