LTC0525(1) Item 1 12 Month Review of Pedestrian Crossing Warrant Policy (All Wards / All Electorates / All PACs)

SUMMARY

Council resolved to undertake a 12-month review of the Pedestrian Crossing Warrant Policy adopted in 2024, including consideration of reasons for approvals and refusals.

A review has been undertaken and outlines 63 pedestrian crossing investigations that have been completed with consideration of the Policy from the December 2023 Traffic Committee to the April 2025 Traffic Committee.

53 of these sites have been approved for the installation of pedestrian crossing which will represent a significant improvement to pedestrian connectivity within the Inner West when construction is completed. It is therefore considered that the Policy is operating effectively in identifying and prioritising pedestrian crossing locations and no changes to the Policy are proposed.

Officers Recommendation:

That the report be received and noted.

DISCUSSION:

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

That the report be received and noted.

For Motion: Unanimous

LTC0525(1) Item 2 Eaton Street south of Gladstone Street, Balmain - Proposed Raised Pedestrian Crossing (BALUDARRI-BALMAIN WARD/BALMAIN ELECTORATE/LEICHHARDT PAC)

SUMMARY

Council has received requests from Father John Therry Catholic Primary School and Balmain Public School to upgrade the existing Children’s crossing in Eaton Street that operates part time during drop off and pick up times to a full-time raised pedestrian crossing.

In response to this, it is proposed to install a raised pedestrian crossing to replace the existing Children’s crossing on Eaton Street immediately south of Gladstone Street, with associated kerb blisters.

The proposal aims to improve pedestrian accessibility and safety at this location by highlighting pedestrian priority to vehicles at all times.

The proposal will result in the loss of one (1) existing on-street parking spaces during school drop-off/pick-up times, and five (5) existing on-street parking spaces at all other times in Eaton Street.

Officers Recommendation:

1. That the installation of a raised pedestrian crossing in Eaton Street south of Gladstone Street, Balmain, be supported in-principle and included in Council’s Capital Works program subject to detailed design investigations and community consultation.

2. That the detailed design for the proposed raised pedestrian crossing be brought back to the Traffic Committee for consideration.

DISCUSSION:

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

2. That the detailed design for the proposed raised pedestrian crossing be brought back to the Traffic Committee for consideration.

For Motion: Unanimous

SUMMARY

This report outlines the safety concerns at the intersection of King Street, Birchgrove Road and Darling Street, Balmain. The current arrangement leads to confusion amongst motorists due to the geometric layout of the intersection. A considerable number of pedestrians were observed crossing the intersection and vehicles observed in conflict when exiting Birchgrove Road into King Street whilst other vehicles make a left turn from Darling Street into King Street. A review has been undertaken and it is proposed that signage works, and linemarking be upgraded at the intersection to improve safety for all road users.

Officers Recommendation:

That the proposed signage and linemarking improvements at the intersection of King Street, Birchgrove Road and Darling Street, Balmain shown in Attachment 1 be approved.

DISCUSSION:

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation.

LTC0525(1) Item 4 Schwebel Street, Marrickville - Traffic Study Report for a proposed one-way treatment at Schwebel Street between Illawarra Road and Carrington Road (Midjuburi - Marrickville Ward / Summer Hill Electorate / Inner West PAC)

SUMMARY

A notice of motion was raised at Council’s meeting on the 3rd of December 2024 to investigate the eastbound one-way conversion of Schwebel Street from Illawarra Road to Carrington Road. To determine the feasibility of the proposed one-way treatment in Schwebel Street, Council’s Traffic Engineering team has undertaken a technical analysis into the traffic implications of the proposal via a traffic study report.

This traffic study report considers three options to address resident concerns and provides an analysis into the traffic redistribution of westbound traffic into surrounding streets, likelihood of increased vehicle speeds and non-compliance of the proposed one-way. Having considered the traffic safety report, it is recommended that Council support the three proposed options for community consultation.

Officers Recommendation:

1. That the following traffic study report at Schwebel Street be received and noted by Council.

2. That traffic management proposals within this report be approved in principle and that community consultation be undertaken on the proposals within this report.

DISCUSSION:

Council Officer stated that when consultation is undertaken that a “do nothing” case would be included to gauge the community support for the proposals and change.

The Committee members agreed with the Officer’s recommendation with the addition of the do-nothing case being added to the options.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

1. That the following traffic study report at Schwebel Street be received and noted by Council.

2. That traffic management proposals within this report be approved in principle and that community consultation be undertaken on the proposals within this report

LTC0525(1) Item 13 Douglas Street and Douglas Lane, Stanmore - Resident Parking Scheme Survey Results and proposed 'No Parking' and 'No Stopping' restrictions (Damun-Stanmore Ward/Newtown Electorate/Inner West PAC)

SUMMARY

This report outlines further investigations completed to improve parking conditions in Douglas Lane, Stanmore. A report was presented to the Local Traffic Committee at its meeting on 9 December 2024 proposing to install ‘No Stopping’ and ‘No Parking’ restrictions on both sides of Douglas Lane between Percival Lane West and Bruce Lane East.

The Local Traffic Committee representatives recommended that the proposed ‘No Parking’ and ‘No Stopping’ restriction in Douglas Lane, be deferred for further investigation, and investigate the extension of the Resident Permit Parking Scheme to Douglas Street.

Council officers have subsequently completed a community consultation on a proposal to install timed permit parking restrictions on the northern side of Douglas Street, Stanmore between Percival Lane West and Bruce Lane East.

Council received a response rate of 23 per cent, which is slightly under the 30 per cent response rate required for consideration of a Resident Parking Scheme. The support rate received was 86 per cent. Given Council received a high support rate, and the required response rate threshold of 30 per cent was short by two (2) responses, it is recommended that timed permit parking restrictions signposted as ‘2P 8am-10pm Mon-Fri Permit Holders Excepted Area M17’ be installed on the northern side of Douglas Street.

Officers Recommendation:

1. That the proposal to implement Resident Parking Scheme restrictions ‘2P 8am-10pm Mon-Fri Permit Holders Excepted Area M17’ along the northern side of Douglas Street between Percival Lane West and Bruce Lane East be approved.

2. That ‘No Parking’ restrictions on both sides of Douglas Lane between Percival Lane West and Bruce Lane East, Stanmore be approved.

3. That ‘No Stopping’ restrictions at the intersections on Douglas Lane and Bruce Lane East be approved.

DISCUSSION:

Public speaker Fernando Guerriero entered the meeting at 11:07am.

Mr Guerriero opposed the recommendation for ‘No Parking’ and ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on Douglas Lane. Mr Guerriero noted that the notification letter had no mention of the proposed restrictions to Douglas Lane. Mr Guerriero noted he attended the meeting in December 2024 and expressed concerns regarding the impact of having “No Parking” in Douglas Lane. He noted that the Resident Parking Scheme would improve the situation in the lane and deems restrictions to the lane unnecessary. Mr Guerriero noted that he believes the issue stems from one complainant in the lane who has had issues with obstructions to their driveway.

Public speaker Fernando Guerriero left the meeting at 11:13am.

Public speaker Marijke Tombs entered the meeting at 11:45am.

Mrs Tombs requested if Council can consider changing the Resident Parking Scheme restriction time from 8am-10pm to 8am-6pm.

Mrs Tombs opposed the restrictions to Douglas Lane and noted that the initial complaint had arisen from a parked caravan in the lane. She advised that the owner of said caravan is no longer a resident in the area. Mrs Tombs noted ongoing neighbour dispute between two residents with a blocked driveway, and advised that this could be remedied by placing the restrictions specifically in this parking space only.

Public speaker Marijke Tombs left the meeting at 11:52am.

Council Officers tabled correspondence from Marijke Tombs and Brett Tombs noting they support the Resident Parking Scheme on Douglas Street, however requesting times to be changed to 8am-6pm.

Council Officers tabled correspondence from Marijke Tombs and Brett Tombs opposing restrictions to Douglas Lane via a signed petition.

Council Officer indicated that the 2P parking restrictions in the adjacent streets are 8am-10pm and that the 2P parking restrictions for Douglas Street should match these restrictions.

Councillor Atkins advised that they cannot support the ‘No Parking’ and ‘No Stopping’ restrictions in Douglas Lane. Councillor Atkins noted that with implementation of the Resident Parking Scheme in Douglas Street, it may alleviate any issues in Douglas Lane.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

2. A 6-month review post installation of the Resident Parking Scheme be undertaken to determine whether any further consideration of ‘No Parking’ restrictions on both sides of Douglas Lane between Percival Lane West and Bruce Lane East be considered.

For Motion: Unanimous
