LTC0219 Item 7 Council Street, St Peters - Proposed Parking Restrictions (Marrickville Ward/ Heffron Electorate/Inner West PAC)

SUMMARY

A request has been received from a resident to improve access due to the current parking

situation on Council Street, St Peters. It has been reported that on numerous occasions,

vehicles parked on both sides of Council Street, St Peters between Goodsell Street and the

cul-de-sac have obstructed access for Transport for NSW utility vehicles along Council Street.

The northern end of Council Street at the cul-de-sac serves as a corridor for Transport for

NSW utility vehicles to access the railway land. On several occasions, a resident had

witnessed utility vehicles unable to successfully manoeuvre along Council Street, resulting in

damage to parked vehicles.

Additionally, parking is presently unrestricted on the western side of Council Street, between

May Street and Goodsell Street. It is recommended that the ‘No Parking’ restrictions be

extended along the western side of Council Street to prevent vehicles from parking along this

kerb given the width constraints and permissible parking on the eastern side of Council Street between May Street and Goodsell Street.

It is recommended that the installation of ‘No Parking’ restrictions be approved, in order to

ensure safe thoroughfare of all vehicles along Council Street as the road width does not

support parking on both sides of the street.

Officer’s Recommendation

That the installation of ‘No Parking’ restrictions in Council Street, St Peters along the

western side between May Street and the cul-de-sac (excluding the 90 degree angled

parking spaces at the rear to the amenities building for Camdenville Oval) be

APPROVED, in order to ensure safe thoroughfare of all vehicles along Council Street as the road width does not support parking on both sides of the street.

DISCUSSION

The representative for the Member for Heffron commented that some residents were originally concerned that there would be a loss of parking, however; they noted that the width of the street does not support parking on both sides of the street. The representative stated that the Member for Heffron supports the proposal.

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

That the installation of ‘No Parking’ restrictions in Council Street, St Peters along the western side between May Street and the cul-de-sac (excluding the 90 degree angled parking spaces at the rear to the amenities building for Camdenville Oval) be APPROVED, in order to ensure safe thoroughfare of all vehicles along Council Street as the road width does not support parking on both sides of the street.

For motion: Unanimous

SUMMARY

Following representation for the community, Council is proposing to extend the existing “No

parking” restriction in Longport Street, Lewisham; in order to facilitate the flow of traffic through the intersection at Longport Street and Old Canterbury Road.

Officer’s Recommendation

That the existing ‘No Parking Mon-Fri 6:30am-9:30am; 3:30pm-6:30pm restrictions in Longport Street (opposite its intersection with Brown Street) be extended by a further 25m west.

DISCUSSION

This would remove up to three unrestricted parking spaces but would improve safety for cyclists and motorists by allowing cyclists to stay in the cycle lane as they approach Old Canterbury Road.

Council Officers to notify residents of the proposed prior to implementation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

That the existing ‘No Parking Mon-Fri 6:30am-9:30am; 3:30pm-6:30pm restrictions in Longport Street (northern side) be extended so that they cover the length of road between the existing ‘No Stopping’ zone on Longport Street west of Old Canterbury Road and the ‘No Stopping’ zone associated with the pedestrian refuge on Longport Street immediately to the east of Grosvenor Crescent.

Community feedback supporting implementation of parking restrictions and a revision to the proposal was sought.

The proposal for ‘No Stopping’ restriction in Brighton Street east of the laneway was supported.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT:

1.   The installation of 10m ‘No Stopping’ restriction in Brighton Street, Petersham  east of Unnamed Lane (located 30m east of Railway Street) , and

2.   The installation of 10m ‘No Parking’ restriction in Brighton Street, Petersham west of Unnamed Lane (located 30m east of Railway Street); be approved.

DISCUSSION

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

LTC0219 Item 18  Grove Street, Dulwich Hill - Extension of Existing Resident Permit           Scheme Hours (Ashfield Ward/Summer Hill Electorate/Inner West     PAC)

SUMMARY

Following community representations, Council proposed an extension to the permit parking

hours in Grove Street, Dulwich Hill. Consultation with owners and occupiers in Grove Street

indicated that there was insufficient support to carry out any extension of the permit parking

hours at the present time.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT the proposal to extend the existing ‘2P Permit Holders Excepted 8:30am-6:00pm Mon-Fri’ Area M6 restrictions on the southern side of Grove Street, Dulwich Hill to ‘2P Permit Holders Excepted 8:30am-10:00pm Mon-Fri Area M6’ not be supported due to insufficient resident support at the present time.

DISCUSSION

Council Officers advised that two late submissions supporting the extension of the existing permit parking restrictions were received. With the additional submissions, there is a sufficient level of community support for the proposal and Council Officers recommend supporting the extension of the permit parking restrictions.

The Committee was advised that the head proponent had expressed a desire to attend the Local Traffic Committee meeting but was unable to do so.

The Committee members supported a recommendation to extend the permit parking hours in Grove Street, Dulwich Hill. Residents will be notified of decision.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT the proposal to extend the existing ‘2P Permit Holders Excepted 8:30am-6:00pm Mon-Fri’ Area M6 restrictions on the southern side of Grove Street, Dulwich Hill to ‘2P Permit Holders Excepted 8:30am-10:00pm Mon-Fri Area M6’ be supported.

LTC0219 Item 19  Chapman Lane (rear of Nos.129 - 133 Annandale Street), Annandale -      Proposed Extension of 'No Parking' zone (Leichhardt Ward/Balmain   Electorate/Leichhardt PAC)

SUMMARY

Council has received concerns regarding parked vehicles obstructing access to off-street

parking in Chapman Lane (rear of Nos.129 - 133 Annandale Street), Annandale. This matter

was previously considered by the Committee last year and deferred for further consideration.

Officer’s Recommendation

THAT a 10.8m ‘No Parking’ zone be installed on the eastern side of Chapman Lane (opposite the rear of Nos.129 - 133 Annandale Street), Annandale.

DISCUSSION

Public speakers: Ms Beverley Prunster and Mr Greg Prunster attended at 10.08am.

Ms Prunster objected to the proposed ‘No Parking’ zone and made the following comments:

• It is difficult to find parking in Johnston Street.
• Laneway parking is needed for work and service vehicles.
• Vehicles do not enter and exit from No.131 Annandale Street. The garage of No.133 Annandale Street is not used and no vehicles enter or exit the garage.
• Parking is permitted at the entrance of Chapman Lane even though it is opposite driveways and more obstructive to access than the parking space adjacent to her property.
• Photos were tabled showing use of the laneway and obstruction.
• Her mother who has a mobility parking sticker often cannot find parking on Johnston Street.
• The parking space adjacent to her garage should be retained for use by all residents and visitors.

Mr Prunster commented that:

• Their garage is currently full with seven vehicles so they have to use street parking.
• Johnstone Street parking is often used by commuters.
• The parking space proposed for removal is beneficial for visitors.

Ms and Mr Prunster left 10.15am.

Public speaker: Mr Jason Gooden attended at 10.18am.

Mr Gooden commented that:

• He and his neighbour applied to Council for the extension of the ‘No Parking’ zone in Chapman Lane due to parked vehicles frequently obstructing access to their off-street parking.
• He and his neighbour have a right to access their off-street parking.
• It has become increasingly difficult to park in Annandale Street due to nearby development and commuters.
• The lane is too narrow for a car to park without obstructing the turning path into his property.

Mr Gooden left at 10.23am.

Council Officers advised that resident parking was considered in Johnston Street at the former Leichhardt Council; however, Johnston Street is a State Road and RMS did not support a resident parking scheme at that time. The RMS representative advised that resident parking is generally not implemented on State Roads.

Clr Da Cruz asked whether a mobility parking space can be provided in Chapman Lane for Ms Prunster’s mother. Council Officers advised that Ms and Mr Prunster’s property would not be eligible for a mobility parking space as their property has sufficient off-street parking. It was also advised that there is insufficient space for a disabled parking space at this location.

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

THAT a 10.8m ‘No Parking’ zone be installed on the eastern side of Chapman Lane (opposite the rear of Nos.129 - 133 Annandale Street), Annandale.

   (Ashfield Ward/ Summer Hill Electorate/ Inner West PAC)

SUMMARY

Council has received complaints regarding congestion and delay/banking up of traffic along

Old Canterbury Road between Constitution Road and Abergeldie Street as a result of vehicles turning right into Henson Street from Old Canterbury Road, and with vehicles parking adjacent to the kerb side lane.

It is proposed to remove or limit parking with full-time and part-time ‘No Stopping’ restrictions

on the southern side of Old Canterbury Road from Constitution Road to the west side of

driveway of No. 275 Old Canterbury Road.

travel and manoeuvre around waiting vehicles turning right into Henson Street.

Support is therefore sought on the following recommendation.

THAT:

1.   the kerb space on the southern side of Old Canterbury Road between Constitution Road and 10 metres west of an existing pedestrian refuge be signposted full-time “No Stopping”.

2.   the kerb space thereafter on the southern side of Old Canterbury Road to the west side of the driveway of No. 275 Old Canterbury Road be signposted as “No Stopping 8.00am-9.30am; 2.30pm-4.00pm Mon-Fri School Days Only”.

DISCUSSION

Council has received a request to signpost the statutory 10m ‘No Stopping’ restriction at the intersection of Church Street and Unnamed Lane, Ashfield in order to prevent illegal parking and improve sight lines.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT 10m ‘No Stopping’ zones be installed on the western side of Church Street, north and south of the Unnamed Lane, Ashfield.

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

4 March 2019

SUMMARY

Detailed design plans have been finalised for the proposed traffic signalised intersection of Victoria Road and Chapel Road, Marrickville. The purpose of the proposed works are to increase pedestrian and vehicular safety at the subject intersection as crash statistics indicate there have been 22 reported crashes between July 2010 and June 2015 at the time of submitting the Blackspot application.

The proposed works include decommissioning the existing signalised pedestrian crossing on Victoria Road, installation of traffic signals at Victoria Road & Chapel Street intersection, relocation of the existing ‘Bus Zone’ on the eastern side of Victoria Street and installation of signage and road markings. As a result of the proposal five on-street parking will be lost to cater for the turning movements of expected truck at the intersection.

The proposal will result in a net-loss of five (5) on-street parking spaces, removal of one (1) significant street tree and gain of four (4) trees in appropriate locations.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the detailed design plan for the proposed traffic signals at the intersection of Victoria Road and Chapel Street, Marrickville, including associated signposting and line marking (as per the attached plan No. 10039) be approved.

Residents’ Comments

Officer’s Response

28 residents supported the proposal with no additional comments.

The residents’ support has been noted.

The proposal has been endorsed by Council as part of the Henson Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) plan which was widely consulted with residents, and has been included as part of Council’s 4 year Capital Works Program for Traffic Facilities.

7 residents supported the proposal with additional comments such as:

1.   The ‘No Stopping’ sign in front of 135 Victoria Rd should be moved to 133 Victoria Rd as vehicles should not be parking across the driveway.

2.   The tree in front of the school zone sign, travelling up Chapel St towards Illawarra Rd and Marrickville Public School, is obscuring the sign and should be removed.

3.   The tree on the corner of Victoria Rd and Chapel St should not be removed or be replanted elsewhere.

4.   That Council ensures cars are not parking along the pavement and using the pavement between driveways as turning circles on the southern side of Victoria Rd.

5.   The bus stop on the northwestern side of Victoria Rd should be on the departure side of the intersection to improve efficiency of the bus services.

6.   That the kerb blister with tree planting in Chapel Street be removed to retain an additional parking space, particularly due to the loss of parking in the area, as well as the limited movements to turn into the businesses driveway due to the turning restrictions at the intersection. Ie: once the proposed "No Right Turn for large vehicles" from Chapel St into Victoria RD" is implemented, there will be only one option available for Vehicles leaving the property i.e. to turn Right from the property(without restriction) into Chapel St.

7.   Parking is a premium in the area and the loss of parking will affect the businesses in the area. Please protect the parking spaces and reduce any loss of parking.

1.   The residents’ comments have been noted. The driveway in question is currently signposted as “No Parking 7am – 9am, Mon - Fri”. Driveways are “No Parking” zones, and it is recommended to change the signage to “No Parking (full-time)” across the driveway and relocate the “No Parking 7am – 9am, Mon - Fri” sign to in front of 133 Victoria Rd, as per the attached plan.

2.   This issue will be referred to Council’s Traffic and Trees section for investigation and action.

3.   Unfortunately the tree cannot be retained and Council have allowed for 5 replacement trees as part of the design. (Refer to main report for additional details on the tree removal). The tree is unable to be replanted elsewhere.

4.   This issue will be referred to Council’s Enforcement Team for monitoring.

5.   Transit Systems have requested the bus stop on the northern side to be on the approach side of the intersection. If this bus stop was relocated further north, the spacing would not meet the 400 metre spacing requirements from TfNSW between bus stops.

6.   The residents’ comments have been noted. In order to off-set the removal of the large tree on the corner, Council has included this additional tree. The inclusion of the tree and kerb blister (with a smaller footprint than a standard car) does not impact on turning movements of the adjacent driveways, although there is a loss of an on-street car parking space to accommodate this proposed new street tree.

7.   The residents’ comments have been noted.

1 resident did not support the proposal, and in their opinion was a waste of money.

The resident’s comment has been noted. Due to the number of accidents at the intersection, this project has received Blackspot funding to increase safety.

Victoria Road & Chapel Street, Marrickville - New Traffic Signal Design Plan No. 10039

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

4 March 2019

Local Traffic Committee Meeting

4 March 2019

SUMMARY

Detailed design plans have been finalised for the proposed raised threshold in Lawson Avenue, Marrickville.

The proposed work includes construction of a raised threshold, road re-sheeting, footpath rehabilitation, kerb & gutter reconstruction, drainage works and associated signage and line marking.

Consultation was undertaken with owners and occupiers of properties in Lawson Avenue regarding the proposal.  A summary of the consultation result is presented in this report for consideration.  It is recommended that the proposed detailed design plan be approved.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the detailed design plan (Design Plan No.6198) of the raised threshold at Lawson Avenue, Marrickville be APPROVED.

Resident’s Comments

Design Engineer’s Response

The resident of Lawson Avenue is supportive of streetscape improvements at Lawson Avenue.  The resident also provided comments in regards to flood mitigation measures.

1.   We are delighted with the proposed plans

2.   Our only concern is whether the flood mitigation works will be sufficient to deal with the serious flooding issues we have previously raised about our street.

The aim of the proposed raised threshold is to divert stormwater away from the intersection of Lawson Avenue and Frazer Street onto the re-levelled concrete footpaths in the park.  The proposal also includes re-levelling sections of existing concrete footpaths and grass areas around Marrickville Croquet Club to ensure that the stormwater has a clear overland flow path towards the Playground, through sport practice cage and into Marrickville Oval, which acts as a detention basin.

It should be noted that the measures can not completely mitigate flooding of the street in a large storm event.

The resident of Lawson Avenue is supportive of streetscape improvements at Lawson Avenue.  The resident also provided comments in regards to proposed flood mitigation measures.

3.   I welcome the plans to resurface the road, reconstruct the footpath, and add a grass verge, trees and small garden to the footpath side of the street

4.   Is the proposed measure enough to prevent the street flooding?

The aim of the proposed raised threshold is to divert stormwater away from the intersection of Lawson Avenue and Frazer Street onto the re-levelled concrete footpaths in the park.  The proposal also includes re-levelling sections of existing concrete footpaths and grass areas around Marrickville Croquet Club to ensure that the stormwater has a clear overland flow path towards the Playground, through sport practice cage and into Marrickville Oval, which acts as a detention basin.

It should be noted that the measures can not completely mitigate flooding of the street in a large storm event.

The resident of Lawson Avenue is supportive of streetscape improvements at Lawson Avenue.  The resident also provided comments in regards to proposed flood mitigation measures.

5.   I am supportive of the proposed street improvements to Lawson Avenue

6.   The diversion of the water from Lawson Avenue by the threshold does not have a clear overland flow path directly to the oval.  In heavy rain, the water travelling down the eastern side of the Croquet Club collects at the stormwater pit located in front of property 18 Lawson Avenue at the park can be more than 200mm.

The aim of the proposed raised threshold is to divert stormwater away from the intersection of Lawson Avenue and Frazer Street onto the re-levelled concrete footpaths in the park.  The proposal also includes re-levelling sections of existing concrete footpaths and grass areas around Marrickville Croquet Club to ensure that the stormwater is mostly diverted towards the sport practice cage and into Marrickville Oval, rather than along the eastern side of the croquet club to the stormwater pit located in front of property 18 Lawson Avenue.

It should be noted that the measures can not completely mitigate flooding of the street in a large storm event.
