LTC0420 Item 2  Dobroyd Parade to Hawthorne Parade bicycle contraflow

SUMMARY

Detailed design plans have been prepared for a contra-flow bicycle facility between Dobroyd Parade and Hawthorne Parade, Haberfield. Consultation with affected residents and owners was undertaken on the draft detailed design plans in February and March 2020. It is recommended that the detail design plans are approved for construction.

 

Officer’s Recommendation

 

THAT:

 

1.       The proposed diversion plan for pedestrian and cyclists for future works along the Bay Run be noted; and

 

2.       The plan (Attachment 1) for a contra-flow cycle facility in the one-way link road between Dobroyd Parade and Hawthorne Parade, Haberfield be approved for construction and be implemented in advance of the Bay Run works.

 

DISCUSSION

 

Clr da Cruz asked whether detailed plans for the pedestrian crossing point on Boomerang Street at Robson Park were available. Council Officers advised that detailed design plans will be prepared and brought back to a future Local Traffic Committee meeting. Detailed plans will also be prepared for other treatments required to facilitate the proposed Bay Run diversions.

 

The Burwood PAC representative supported the recommendation and stated that all roads that are currently being altered to facilitate these temporary changes should be fully reinstated to vehicle traffic use. Council Officers advised that the intention is to retain the contraflow arrangements on a permanent basis. This will provide a better-connected cycle network and will not affect existing vehicle flows. Noting the comments from Burwood PAC, Council Officers will have the treatments reviewed following the Bay Run works.

 

The representative for the Inner West Bicycle Coalition raised concern about safety for pedestrians and cyclists at the intersection of Timbrell Drive/Mortley Avenue/City West Link due to the narrow footpaths, lack of pedestrian crossing facilities on the northern-eastern arm of the intersection and absence of bike lanterns.

 

Concern was also raised about the lack of safety barriers along City West Link, which might protect users of the Bay Run from vehicles leaving the City West Link.

 

The representative for the Inner West Bicycle Coalition commented that they support the contra-flow as a permanent facility. In addition, the representative requested central line marking in Tillock Street to provide traffic separation near its junction with Crescent Street.

 

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation

 

 

 

 

 

 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT:

 

1.       The proposed diversion plan for pedestrian and cyclists for future works along the Bay Run be noted; and

 

2.       The plan (Attachment 1) for a contra-flow cycle facility in the one-way link road between Dobroyd Parade and Hawthorne Parade, Haberfield be approved for construction and be implemented in advance of the Bay Run works.

 

For motion: Unanimous

 

LTC0420 Item 3  Greenway on-road cycle route

SUMMARY

Detailed design plans have been prepared for Greenway On-Road works. The detailed design plans are based on the Greenway Concept Designs endorsed by Council in May 2019. Consultation was undertaken across the corridor during the Concept Design phase.   Specific consultation to affected residents and owners was undertaken on the draft detailed design plans.  It is recommended that the detail design plans are approved for construction.

 

Officer’s Recommendation

 

THAT the detailed design plans (Attachment 1) for the Greenway on-road works be approved for construction

 

DISCUSSION

 

The TfNSW representative stated that ‘Give Way’ priorities must be set, with signage, at the raised intersections of Windsor Lane/Weston Street and Channel Street/Weston Street, Dulwich Hill. The Committee members agreed to add this requirement to the recommendation

 

The representative for the Member for Balmain asked whether the type of vegetation proposed for the garden beds, had the potential to obscure motorists’ sightlines. Council Officers advised that low vegetation such as grasses and prostrate shrubs are proposed in garden beds on approach to pedestrian crossings. These garden beds will be monitored and regularly maintained by Council.

 

The representative for the Member for Balmain also asked if cyclists are obliged to dismount before using the designated bicycle crossing lanes and if the proposed cyclist crossing would be the same height as the pedestrian crossing.

 

The Transport for NSW representative confirmed that this crossing treatment would provide priority for pedestrians and mounted cyclists, at the same time, over vehicles. Council Officers advised that the proposed bicycle crossing on Ewart Street and Hercules Street will be at the same height as the adjacent pedestrian crossing.

 

The representative for the Member for Balmain also expressed concern that oncoming vehicles will conflict with cyclists using the crossing unless the driver sees signage that makes the crossing priority clear (e.g. ‘Give Way’ signage) and noted that a State-wide public education campaign may also be required.

 

 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

 

THAT:

 

a.    the detailed design plans (Attachment 1) for the Greenway on-road works be approved for construction; and

 

b.    the Give Way priority at the intersection of Windsor Lane/Weston Street & Channel Street/Weston Street, Dulwich Hill be signposted.

 

For motion: Unanimous
