Council has received a request from Transdev bus operator regarding vehicles parking regularly at the bus stop outside No.100 John Street, Lidcombe.

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

Recommendation The Traffic Committee recommends that: 1.      The installation of ‘Bus Zone’ signage in John Street, Lidcombe at the existing bus stop outside No.100 in accordance with the attached plan be approved. 2.      The installation of ‘No Stopping’ signs at the intersection of John Street and Noora Street, Lidcombe in accordance with the attached plan be approved. 3.      The adjacent properties be notified of the outcome.

 

John Street is a Collector Road that runs in a north – south direction with a speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 12.5m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless signposted.

Council has received concerns from Transdev bus operator that vehicles are parking regularly at the bus stop outside No.100 John Street, Lidcombe. As a result, the buses experience difficulties in dropping off / picking up passengers.

 

 

 

 

 

Map below shows locality of John Street, Lidcombe.

 

 

In accordance with the Road Rules 2014, it is illegal to stop a vehicle other than a public bus within 20m on the approach and 10m on the departure side of a bus stop.

Therefore, to prevent illegal parking at the bus stop, strengthen the Road Rules and assist busses to stop safely at the bus stop, it is proposed to install ‘Bus Zone’ signs at the existing ‘Bus Stop’ outside No. 100 John Street.

 

Furthermore, it is proposed to provide a ‘No Stopping’ signs and ‘BB’ centre line at the intersection of John Street and Noora Street as per the attached plan.

This section of Rawson Street has a width of approximately 12m with parking restrictions on both sides of the road. 

 

There are also part time  ‘No Stopping’ signs installed on the northern side of Rawson Street between the full time ‘No Stopping’ zones at the traffic signals at St Hilliers Road and Station Street.

 

Dartbrook Road is a local road that runs in a north-south direction with a speed limit of 50km/h. It has a width of approximately 12m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless signposted.

 

Rawson Street and Dartbrook Road form a four-way intersection with priority to Rawson Street. The intersection is approximately 125-130m from the signalised intersections of Rawson Street / Station Road and Rawson Street / St Hilliers Road.

 

Dartbrook Road north of Rawson Street has left / left out control at Rawson Street. Rawson Street has ‘Do Not Queue Across Intersection’ signs installed on the southern approach at the intersection with Dartbrook Road.

 

Council has received a request from Auburn Gallipoli Mosque to install ‘Keep Clear’ on the pavement at the intersection of Rawson Street and Dartbrook Road to prevent vehicles queuing across the intersection.

 

 

Figure 1 – Locality Plan

 

This intersection is the only available right turn movement into the precinct from Rawson Street, the other option is to turn at the Station Road / Rawson Street traffic signals. This signal does not provide enough time for right turning vehicles.

 

Council undertook a traffic movement count at the intersection in the past, the result showed in the table below indicated that there are significant numbers of vehicles turning right from Rawson Road into Dartbrook Road especially outside the peak periods.

 

Table 1 – Survey Result

In accordance with the NSW Road Rules, it is illegal to queue across an intersection. ‘Keep Clear’ Pavement markings are generally used outside Ambulance and Fire Brigade driveways and critical intersections close to signalised intersection where vehicles queuing to right turn into side roads might result in interfering with the performance of the signalised intersection.

 

Due to the queue length at this section of Rawson Street, there is minimum opportunity (gap) available to turn right into Dartbrook Road from Rawson Street. This is likely to result an impact on the performance of both signalised intersections near Dartbrook Road.

 

Therefore, it is proposed that ‘Keep Clear’ marking is provided at this intersection.

Council has received concerns regarding the ‘Slow Point’ previously installed on Pavesi Street, Guildford West.

 

This report details the investigation into this matter.

 

Recommendation The Traffic Committee recommends that the installation ‘Slow Point’ warning signs on Pavesi Street, Guildford West be approved.

 

Council has received concerns regarding the ‘Slow Point’ previously installed on Pavesi Street, Guildford West.

 

Pavesi Street runs in an east-west direction between Fairfield Road and Sturt Street, Guildford West. Pavesi Street has industrial properties on the west and residential properties on the eastern side.

 

To prevent commercial vehicles from the industrial side of Pavesi Street accessing the residential side, a ‘Slow Point’ was built in the middle of Pavesi Street several years back.

 

Council has now received concerns that the ‘Slow point’ has caused near misses and accidents.

 

An inspection of the location indicated that there is a streetlight at the slow point. There are warning signs provided at both ends of Pavesi Street that the road is a ‘No Through Road for Heavy vehicles or vehicles in excess of 2.1m wide’. The sign also directs vehicles to an alternate route via McCredie Road and Fairfield Road.

 

It was also observed that the slow point has pavement marking directing traffic to the device. However, there are no warning signs installed ahead of the slow point in Pavesi Street to warn motorists of the slow point.

The map and street view below show the location of the ‘chicane’.

 

 

 

According to the ‘Centre for Road Safety’ Accident Database, there were eight (8) reported accidents on Pavesi Street in the vicinity of the slow point in the 5-year period ending June 2021. Out of these 8 accidents, four (4) were recorded as ‘Road User Movement’ – RUM 64 - Permanent obstruction.

It is proposed to install ‘W5-33’ Slow Point warning signs on Pavesi Street on both sides of the device as shown in the attached plan.

Council has received concerns from a resident requesting for the provision of parking restrictions at the intersections of Edna Avenue with Fowler Road, Merrylands West.

 

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

Recommendation The Traffic Committee recommends that:   1.    The installation of ‘No Stopping’ signs and ‘BB’ centre lines at the intersections of Edna Avenue with Fowler Road, Merrylands West in accordance with the attached plans be approved.   2.   The adjacent properties be notified of the outcome.

 

Fowler Road is a regional road that runs in a north-south direction with a speed limit of 50 km/h. it has a width of approximately 12.5m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless signposted.

 

Edna Avenue is a local road that runs in westerly direction from Fowler Road with a speed limit of 50 km/h. It has a width of approximately 7.5m and parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless signposted. Edna Avenue forms a loop and intersects Fowler Road at two locations forming T-intersections with priority to Fowler Road. Both intersections have ‘Give Way’ signs and line marking.

 

A raised pedestrian crossing is in place on Fowler Road between the two intersections of Edna Avenue towards the southern intersection (just south of Matthew Street).

 

 

 

 

The map below shows the intersections:

 

Figure 1 – Locality Plan

 

A review of the available accident data indicated that there was one recorded accident at the southern intersection in the five-year period ending June 2021.

 

A site inspection indicated that vehicles are parking within 10 metres at these intersections. The installation of ‘No Stopping’ signs would strengthen the Road Rules requirements and stop vehicles from parking too close to the intersection.

 

In order to maintain safety and reduce the risk of a collision at both intersections, it is proposed that 10m double centreline marking (BB) be provided in Edna Avenue to assist vehicles stay on the right side of the road. 

 

Fowler Road has ‘No Stopping’ signs near Edna Avenue.  It is proposed to install ‘No Stopping’ signs at 13m in Edna Avenue at both intersections to allow vehicles to safely pass a parked car without encroaching the proposed ‘BB’ centre lines.

GELIBOLU PARADE, AUBURN – PROPOSED PARKING RESTRICTIONS

Council has received requests from the mosque community to provide timed parking in the angle parking area in Gelibolu Parade adjacent to the railway line to assist worshippers.

 

This report details the investigation into this matter.

 

Recommendation The Traffic Committee recommends:   1.   The installation of “2P; 6:00am-6:00pm; Mon-Fri” in the angle parking area adjacent to the railway line in Gelibolu Parade, Auburn is supported in-principle, in accordance with the attached plan.   2.   Community engagement be undertaken on the proposed changes prior to the final decision on the proposal.   3.   A further report be provided following community engagement with a recommendation on a final decision on the proposal.

 

Council has received requests from the community to provide timed parking in the angle parking area in Gelibolu Parade adjacent to the railway line to assist worshippers.

 

Gelibolu Parade, Auburn runs parallel to the railway line linking Percy Street and Station Road. It also has a frontage of Gallipoli Mosque. There is 45-degree angle parking on the railway line side of Gelibolu Parade from approximately 45m from Station Road and St Hilliers Road. It is also in close proximity to Auburn Town Centre and Wyatt Park.

 

Background:

The “Auburn Town Centre Parking Strategy” study undertaken in 2011 identified the unrestricted angle parking in Gelibolu Parade, Auburn which is outside the core Auburn Town Centre and used by railway commuters for possible future full or partial time-restricted parking zone. This parking area contains 94 numbers 45-degree angle parking spaces. This study was undertaken prior to the construction of the multistorey carpark in Susan Street which provides short term parking to residents and visitors.

 

Council installed ‘½ P’ parking in the first six (6) angle parking spaces in Gelibolu Parade on the railway line side in September 2011 to assist the businesses in Station Road that have lost the parking spaces at their frontage after the widening of Station Road bridge.

 

The rest of the angle parking spaces totalling 88 are unrestricted and a part of it is unoccupied most of the day. Part of this unrestricted parking spaces are used by commuters and residents living outside the town centre to drive to the area to park and use train transport to travel to their work or other destinations.

 

Removal of these unrestricted parking spaces in full will create problems to the commuters / residents who use rail transport to reach their destinations after parking in Gelibolu Parade and discourage use of public transport.

 

The map and street view below show the location of Gelibolu Parade, Auburn.

 

 

Observations at different times by Council officers indicated that 40 to 50 of the unrestricted parking spaces are free during the day and it could be deduced that the majority of the occupied parking spaces have been used by residents commuting to their workplaces by train.

 

It is proposed to convert 40 of the 88 unrestricted parking spaces opposite the mosque to Two-hour (2P) parking from 6:00AM-6:00PM; Monday to Friday.

 

The parking demand for the mosque is during prayer times, therefore , the restrictions will underutilise the street parking. As the average distance from these restricted parking spaces to Auburn Town Centre is  over 400m, it is unlikely that this parking will be used by the town centre users due to the distance  and the time limit.

 

Given the location of the car parking in the context of significant land uses and its close proximity to the Auburn Town Centre and Wyatt Park, it is recommended that community engagement be undertaken prior to a final decision being made by the Traffic Committee.

Council has received a request from Forensic & Analytical Science Service located at 480 Weeroona Road, Lidcombe for the installation of ‘Keep Clear’ pavement markings on Weeroona Road, Lidcombe outside both of their driveways.

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

Recommendation The Traffic Committee recommends that the installation of ‘Keep Clear’ pavement markings outside No.480 Weeroona Road, Lidcombe in accordance with the attached plan be approved.

 

 

Weeroona Road between Joseph Street and East Street is a regional road that runs in an east-west direction with a speed limit of 60km/h. This section of Weeroona Road has a width of approximately 12.5m with a bike lane on both sides of the street.

 

The request from Forensic & Analytical Science Service stated that they need to receive urgent deliveries to the facility 24/7 and traffic constantly blocking both driveways. As a result, it impedes on the ability for pathologists, scientists, police and ambulance to access or leave the site.

It is requested that ‘Keep Clear’ line marking be provided at both driveways as one driveway is for the Forensic Medicine and Coroner’s Court; and the other driveway is for Forensic and Analytical Science Service.

Figure 1 – Locality Plan

 

‘Keep Clear’ Pavement markings are generally used outside Ambulance and Fire Brigade driveways and critical intersections close to signalised intersection where vehicles queuing to right turn into side roads might result in interfering with the performance of the signalised intersection.

 

Due to the queuing traffic at this section of Weeroona Road, there is minimum opportunity (gap) available to turn right into Weeroona Road from both driveways. It is proposed that ‘Keep Clear’ markings are provided in Weeroona Road as per the attached drawing.   This will assist ambulance and police vehicles move into the traffic without delay.

Council has received a request from a local resident for the installation of traffic calming devices on Dullai Avenue, Pemulwuy due to speeding concerns.

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

Recommendation The Cumberland Traffic Committee recommends that the installation of traffic calming devices on Dullai Avenue, Pemulwuy not be supported.

 

Council has received a request from a resident for the installation of traffic calming devices on Dullai Avenue, Pemulwuy due to speeding concerns.

Dullai Avenue is a local road runs in an east – west direction from Naying Drive to Daruga Avenue. The road is approximately 310m long and 9.0m wide with an approximately 2m wide median island in the middle separating the eastbound and westbound traffic. The centre median provides a single lane of approximately 3.5m in both directions. The speed limit is 50km/h and indented parking bays are provided on both sides of the road.

 

Council’s Officers have investigated the request for the installation of traffic calming devices on Dullai Avenue in accordance with Council’s Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) Policy.

 

The latest Centre for Road Safety accident data indicated that there were no reported accidents in Dullai Avenue in the 5 years ending June 2021.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The map below shows the location of Dullai Avenue:

 

 

 

A traffic count was undertaken on Dullai Avenue February 2022. The traffic count location is shown in red on the map above.

 

The results of the traffic count indicated the following:

 

Traffic count Data on Dullai Avenue:

 

Average Daily Traffic (ADT) = 194 veh/day,

85th percentile speed = 48.6 km/h,

Mean (average) vehicle speed = 39 km/h.

 

The results of the traffic counts, recorded crashes etc. were used in the assessment to determine the need for the installation of traffic calming devices on Dullai Avenue in accordance with the criteria set out in Council’s Local area Traffic Management Policy (LATM) Policy.

 

The LATM assessments are summarised in the tables below:

 

Table 1 – Dullai Avenue - LATM Assessment Points

Criteria	Maximum Score	Score Achieved
Traffic Study Data	45	0
Crash warrant in the last 5 years	15	0
Road Characteristics	35	11
Community Support & other factors	5	5
Total	100	16

 

 

 

Table 2 – Dullai Avenue – Action

Criteria	Action
>75	Report to TC with a recommendation of providing traffic calming devices
61-75	Report to TC and discuss possibility of providing traffic calming devices
41-60	Council to review traffic data in 6 months
25-40	Monitor street and review traffic data after 12 months
<25	Do Nothing
Speed	That regardless of the total points scored, should the 85th percentile speed exceed the posted speed limit by 5 km/h, the street be referred to the NSW Police for monitoring and/or enforcement.

 

The traffic count indicated that the recorded 85^th percentile speed was 48.6km/h which is below the speed limit of the street.

Based on the above assessment, traffic calming devices are not warranted in the street, therefore, the request for the installation of traffic calming devices / speed humps on Dullai Avenue cannot be supported.

The former Holroyd City Council approved the installation of a pedestrian refuge on Faulds Road at its intersection with Fowler Road as a stage 2 improvement, due to unsafe traffic movements with vehicles crossing the centre line when turning right from Fowler Road into Faulds Road. Rumble bars were installed on Faulds Road as Stage 1 in 2014.

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

Recommendation The Traffic Committee recommends that: 1.      The proposed median island in Faulds Road at Fowler Road, Guildford West in accordance with the attached plan be approved. 2.      The adjacent properties be notified of the outcome.

 

The former Holroyd City Council approved the installation of a pedestrian refuge on Faulds Road at its intersection with Fowler Road as stage 2 due to unsafe traffic movements with vehicles crossing the centre line when turning right from Fowler Road into Faulds Road. Rumble bars were installed on Faulds Road as Stage 1 in 2014. Stage 2 was never implemented.

 

A report (ECTC-20-164) was also presented to the Cumberland Traffic Committee (CTC) in September 2020 regarding the matter. CTC recommended and council subsequently approved that the information contained in the report be noted.

Council has now received concerns from a local resident regarding safety at this intersection.

 

The refuge island at this intersection approved previously by Holroyd Traffic Committee and Council could not be built in accordance with the current standards.

 

A review of the site indicated that a pedestrian refuge island is not feasible at this location without affecting the kerb returns due to existing road width / existing infrastructure (i.e. footpath / kerb and gutter etc.).

 

The latest Centre for Road Safety crash data indicates that there were no reported crashes at this intersection in the 5 years ending June 2021.

 

BB centre line and edge line marking have been provided on Fowler Road at the intersection. In addition, rumble bars were installed with line marking few years ago on Faulds Road to keep the traffic flow on the left-hand side of the road.

 

The map below shows the location of the intersection:

 

 

In order to keep the traffic flow on the correct side of the road in Faulds Road at Fowler Road, it is proposed to replace the existing rumble bars with a 900 mm wide median island with the relocation of the access ramps in a westerly direction.

 

The swept path analysis indicated that there is sufficient room for a 12.5m long vehicle to turn at the intersection.

BLAXCELL STREET, GRANVILLE – PROPOSED MEDIAN ISLAND NEAR THE EXISTING RAISED PEDESTRIAN CROSSING

Responsible Division:                    Environment & Planning

Officer:                                              Engineering Administration Officer

File Number:                                    T-28-01/06

Electorate:                                        Granville

Police Area Command (PAC):      Cumberland   

 

 

Council received strong objections from the residents for the proposed relocation of the existing raised pedestrian crossing on Blaxcell Street, Granville as recommended by the traffic committee via CTC-22-055.

This report considers a review of an alternate option to enhance safety at the existing raised pedestrian crossing.

 

Recommendation The Traffic Committee recommends that: 1.   Council approve the construction of the 600mm wide 12m long concrete median island and associated line marking at the existing raised pedestrian crossing on Blaxcell Street north of Thomas Street in accordance with the attached plan be approved. 2.   Council requests the Bus Operator and Transport for NSW to consider alternate location to relocate the bus stop on the eastern side of Blaxcell Street south of Charles Street to a more suitable location to improve safety of patrons and road users. 3.   Council notifies the service station at the corner of Blaxcell Street & Celia Street and adjoining properties of the outcome.

 

Background:

Council has received complaints in relation to queuing of vehicles on Blaxcell Street to access the service station on Blaxcell Street. Long queues on southbound lane occupies the kerbside lane and blocks access to existing bus stop which forces the buses to stop in the middle traffic lane to drop off and pick up of patrons.

The queue on the northbound lane to turn right to access the service station blocks the pedestrian crossing and compromises pedestrian safety.

Therefore, Council commenced the process to relocate both the pedestrian crossing and the bus stop to improve safety of road users and constructing a median to prohibit right turns at this location to improve northbound traffic flow.

Cumberland Traffic Committee at its meeting in February 2020 considered two reports (vide Item No. CTC-20-034 & CTC-20-035) to relocate the existing raised pedestrian crossing on Blaxcell Street at Thomas Street and the ‘Bus Zone’ on the eastern side of Blaxcell Street.

The traffic committee recommended to relocate the raised pedestrian crossing to a location south of Celia Street. Also, similarly, recommended to move the bus stop (‘Bus Zone’) to a new location together with the crossing south of Celia Street. These recommendations were approved by Council subsequently.

 

Council received objections from a resident who will lose the on-street parking within their frontage due to the parking restrictions associated with the new relocated pedestrian crossing.

 

After a site meeting with the residents, a report (CTC-21-208) was presented to Local Traffic Committee in August 2021 and the Traffic Committee recommended to retain the previously approved option (via CTC-20-034 & 035).

 

In February 2022, Council received further objections from residents and this matter was reported to Council via traffic committee on 6 April 2022. Council resolved that ‘this matter be deferred pending a further report being prepared to next traffic committee meeting identifying alternate measures similar to the attached to improve traffic safety at the existing pedestrian crossing, whilst investigating suitable locations for the relocation of the bus stop if required’.

 

Current Proposal:

 

As per Council resolution, Council officers have prepared a proposal to provide a 600mm wide median island on Blaxcell Street on either side of the existing raised pedestrian crossing opposite to the service station. This will prohibit vehicles waiting /queuing on the crossing to turn right into the service station driveway. These vehicles could drive further and undertake U-turns to access the service station driveway.

 

This proposal will enhance pedestrian safety at the pedestrian crossing and also help traffic flows in Blaxcell Street.

 

It is proposed to request the bus operator and Transport for NSW to relocate the bus stop on the eastern side of Blaxcell Street south of Charles Street to a more suitable location to improve safety of patrons and road users.

Council has received concerns from a resident that the intersection of Coleman Street and Hilltop Road, Merrylands is unsafe and is requesting a guard rail be installed in front of the property.

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

Recommendation The Traffic Committee recommends that: 1.   The installation of a guardrail at the intersection of Coleman Street and Hilltop Road, Merrylands not be supported. 2.   Provision of a speed hump on the western approach of the roundabout at the intersection of Coleman Street and Hilltop Road, Merrylands in accordance with the attached plan be approved. 3.   The concerned resident and adjoining properties be notified of the outcome.

 

 

Council has received concerns from a resident that the intersection of Coleman Street and Hilltop Road is unsafe and is requesting a guardrail be installed in front of the property.

 

The residential property is located at the corner of Coleman Street and Hilltop Road. There was an accident recently where a vehicle lost control and crashed into the boundary wall of the property. The owner of the property has requested that Council to provide a guardrail at this intersection.

 

 

In accordance with the report provided by the Police Force, the driver had a medical episode at the time. As a result, the vehicle lost control at the roundabout and crashed into the fence of No.84 Coleman Street. 

 

Based on the accident Database supplied by the Centre for Road Safety, there were 2 reported accidents (1 cross traffic and 1 left near accident in 2017) at this location in the five years ending in June 2021.

 

The map below shows details of the location.

 

 

 

 

 

Council officers inspected the site and noted that the narrowest section at this part of Coleman Street between the back of the kerb to the footpath is 350mm. According to Austroads Guideline, the minimum offset from the kerb is 200mm (Refer to Fig 6.4 and Table 6.3). The width of safety barrier and the post is 381mm (RMS Standard Drawing R0710 – W Beam).

 

 

It is noted from the site inspection that the section between the back of the kerb to the footpath is not wide enough to install a guard rail.

 

A traffic count was undertaken in April 2022.

The results of the traffic count indicated the following:

 

Traffic count Data on Hilltop Road, Eastbound traffic 20m from the Coleman Street roundabout:

Average Daily Traffic (ADT)        = 8,927 vehicles/day

85th percentile speed                  = 40 km/hr

 

The approach speed to the roundabout is below the speed limit, however, there may be a small percentage of vehicles travelling over the speed limit. It is proposed to provide a speed hump on the western approach of Hilltop Road.

Council has received a request to install ‘Children Crossing’ on Percy Street at The International Maarif Schools of Australia (IMSA) Gallipoli Campus Auburn.

This report outlines the outcome of a review into this matter.

 

Recommendation The Traffic Committee recommends: 1.      The request for a Children crossing on Percy Street, Auburn outside the school not be approved. 2.      ‘No Parking; 8:00AM-9:30AM; 2:30PM-4:00PM; School Days’ and ‘Bus Zone; 8:00AM-9:30AM; 2:30PM-4:00PM; School Days’ signs in accordance with the attached plan be approved. 3.      The costs associated with the installation of the signage shall be borne by the applicant at no cost to Council. 4.      Council review provision of a pedestrian facility in Percy Street, Auburn, once future stages of the development are progressed. 5.      The applicant be notified of the outcome.

 

 

Background:

 

The International Maarif Schools of Australia (IMSA) Gallipoli Campus, Auburn was approved in March 2020 involving the staged construction of a new K-12 school, with capacity for 750 primary and secondary students. The school currently has from Kindergarten to Year 5.

 

The approved plans for the project by Department of Planning include a bus zone and pick-up and drop-off zone on the western side of Percy Street along the school frontage, along with a new pedestrian crossing across Percy Street near the intersection with Gelibolu Parade. However,

 

1.   There were no pedestrian warrants provided.

2.   Currently the number of students in the school is very much lower than the expected final anticipated enrolment of 750 students.

 

The map below shows the location of Percy Street, Auburn.

 

 

Initially, the school requested approval for a marked pedestrian (zebra) crossing. Council’s Officers investigated the request and the investigation revealed that a pedestrian (zebra) crossing did not meet the current Australian Standard and RMS / Transport for NSW requirements.

 

Cumberland Traffic Committee at its meeting held on 2 March 2022 considered a report (CTC-22-048) on issues raised by the school and recommended ‘inter alia’ that:

 

·    The request for a pedestrian crossing on Percy Street, Auburn outside the school not be approved.

·    The proposed ‘No Parking; 8:00AM-9:30AM; 2:30PM-4:00PM; School Days’ and ‘Bus Zone; 8:00AM-9:30AM; 2:30PM-4:00PM; School Days’ signs in accordance with the attached plan be approved.

 

Council resolved at its meeting on 6 April 2022 in regard to Item No. CTC-22-048

 

 A report be prepared and reported to the next Cumberland Traffic Committee meeting for Percy Street, Auburn exploring the viability of a children’s crossing.

 

To provide a ‘Children’s crossing, Council must satisfy the following warrants given in RMS / Transport for NSW Guidelines:

 

The numerical warrants as per the Transport for NSW guidelines for locating Children’s Crossings on local lightly trafficked roads are determined by:

 

·    Traffic one hour duration immediately before and after school hours the traffic flow exceeds 50 vehicles per hour in each direction

·    One hour duration immediately before and after school hours 20 or more children cross the road within 20m of the proposed crossing location

 

Council officers undertook vehicle and pedestrian counts outside the school, the result of the count is listed in Table below:

 

Time  (duration one hour)	Vehicles		Crossing towards school		Crossing from school		Total
	N’bound	S’bound	Adults	Children	Adults	Children	Adults	Children
8:00-9:00	43	32	17	33	11	0	28	33
8:30-9:30	34	24	16	51	12	22	28	73
2:30-3:30	22	11	28	5	18	29	46	34
3:00-4:00	34	16	37	6	46	73	83	79

 

Based on the survey result, the warrant for a ‘Children Crossing’ has not been met due to the low number of vehicles. Therefore, a ‘Children Crossing’ is not warranted at this stage. A pedestrian facility could be considered in the future once future stages of the development are progressed and warrants are satisfied. In addition to this, it should be noted that Council does not encourage school pick up / drop off on the other side of the street as it endangers safety of school children.

 

As an interim measure, it is recommended that the recommendation of the previous report (CTC-22-048) that: The proposed ‘No Parking; 8:00AM-9:30AM; 2:30PM-4:00PM; School Days’ and ‘Bus Zone; 8:00AM-9:30AM; 2:30PM-4:00PM; School Days’ signs in accordance with the attached plan be approved.

Council has proposed provide indented 90-degree angle parking spaces in Ballina Street at the frontage of Bathurst Street Park.

This report outlines the proposal.

 

Recommendation The Traffic Committee recommends that the installation of 90-degree angle parking spaces in Ballina Street at the frontage of Bathurst Street Park and associated ‘No Parking’ and accessible parking signs in accordance with the attached plan be approved.

 

 

Ballina Street is a local road connecting to Orange Street at two locations. It is approximately 7.4m wide and provides access to Bathurst Street together with Bathurst Street. It has indented 90-degree parking spaces to provide parking for the park users

Due to the narrow road width, Ballina Street experiences difficulty to access the properties and travel through when park users and residents park in the street.

 

Bathurst Street Park is used by ‘Greystanes FC’ one of the largest football clubs in the LGA and for other community activities.

 

The existing car park accessed via Bathurst Street together with the on-street angle parking spaces are used by the residents and patrons of the shopping centre on Bathurst Street. Council has been receiving requests for an upgrade of parking spaces in the area. Also, Council has received safety concerns from the residents of Ballina Street for an upgrade of parking so that the Park users do not use on-street parking spaces on Ballina Street as overflow parking in the narrow street.

 

 

 

 

 

The map below shows the location of Ballina Street:

 

The upgrade of the angle parking spaces will provide a total of 59 parking spaces which include two (2) accessible parking spaces. It is proposed to provide accessible parking signs for the accessible parking spaces and ‘No Parking’ signs to cover the existing layback access into the park.

 

Council undertook community consultation between April 2022 to May 2022. In total, Council received 21 submissions, out of which 19 supported the proposal and 2 objected to the proposal.
