Item: TAC033-18 Dame Mary Gilmore Road, Oatley - Proposed Car Parking and Refuge

Author: Traffic Engineer

Directorate: Assets and Infrastructure

Matter Type: Agenda Items

Recommendation

(a) That the parallel parking layout and new footpath on the eastern and western side of Dame Mary Gilmore Road, between Oatley Park Avenue and Park Avenue, be approved.

(b) That a pedestrian refuge and associated signage be installed in Dame Mary Gilmore Road at the intersection with Oatley Park Avenue, as shown on plan U622 attached to the report.

Executive Summary

1. This report seeks the Committee’s consideration of the parking changes in Dame Mary Gilmore Road, Oatley.

Background

2. In March 2013 the Traffic Committee considered a representation from the Principal of Oatley West Public School on behalf of the school community requesting Council to consider possibility of providing an angle parking area on both sides of Dame Mary Gilmore Road, between Park Road and Oatley Park Avenue, Oatley.

3. The School Principal advised council that the demand for on street parking in the vicinity of the school during peak school hours and over the weekend are very high due to the parents dropping off and picking up their children from school as well as users of Oatley Park.

4. Dame Mary Gilmore Road has a 19.5m wide road reserve (boundary to boundary) with a 7m wide carriageway. The eastern side of the street has kerb and guttering with approximately 9m wide road reserve adjoining the School. The western side of the street is not clearly defined as there is no kerb & guttering; the road reserve on this side is approximately 3.5m with no proper landscaping.

5. A concept plan was presented to the Traffic Committee in March 2013 for 90 degree angle parking on the eastern side of Dame Mary Gilmore Road, adjacent to the school. A recently completed detailed survey of the area indicated that the 90 degree parking was not feasible due to the significant cross fall and number of trees that would have been required to be removed to accommodate the parking spaces.

6. Funding for the project has previously not been available, however the works have been included in the 2017/18 capital works budget and can be completed before June 2018.

Proposal

7. Following a detailed survey of this area, Council is proposing the construction of eleven (11) parallel parking spaces on both the eastern and western side of Dame Mary Gilmore Road, between Oatley Park Avenue and Park Avenue. A footpath adjacent to the spaces is also proposed on both sides to improve the safety for people accessing the school and Oatley Park.

8. The proposed pedestrian refuge in Dame Mary Gilmore Road at the intersection with Oatley Park Avenue would improve the safety for people crossing the road and also improve turning movements at this location.

9. There are a number of trees that are required to be removed as part of this proposal, however Council’s Tree Officers have inspected the location and have deemed that these are not significant and the larger trees have been retained based on the parallel parking design.

Financial Implications

10. Within budget allocation – Funding to be allocated from Council’s 2017/18 Capital Works Budget – approximately $150,000.

Item: TAC044-18 Donald Street Hurstville - Request for No Parking restriction outside 63 Donald Street Hurstville

Author: Senior Traffic Engineer

Directorate: Assets and Infrastructure

Matter Type: Agenda Items

Recommendation

a) THAT the statutory 10m “No Stopping” restriction be installed on Donald Street, South of Binder Street, Hurstville.

b) THAT 8m of “No Parking” restriction be installed outside 63 Donald Street, Hurstville.

c) THAT the “No Parking” restriction be reviewed annually

Executive Summary

1. This report is seeking the Traffic Committee’s approval to install 8m of “No Parking” restriction outside 63 Donald Street, Hurstville.

Background

2. Council received representation from the residents of 63 Donald Street, Hurstville, requesting that Council consider installing a No Parking restriction outside their home at 63 Donald Street, Hurstville.

3. Council was advised that the one of the residents has extreme Cerebral Palsy and requires a lot of equipment to move him in and out of a purpose built disabled maxi-taxi.

4. It was further advised that these Maxi Taxis are in high demand due to their limited numbers and that they must be booked well in advance.

5. Due to the close proximity of Donald Street to Hurstville CBD and Hurstville Private Hospital, on many occasions the Maxi Taxi arrives to not find any parking spaces outside the resident’s premises.

6. It was advised that the Maxi Taxi cannot access the resident’s off street parking due to its size and the need for ample space to be able to safely assist the disabled resident and the associated equipment in and out of the vehicle.

7. 63 Donald Street is a corner block located at the intersection of Binder Street and Donald Street Hurstville.

8. Accordingly it is recommended that the statutory “No Stopping” restriction be installed outside of the resident’s home, followed by an 8m of “No Parking”. These two restrictions would be wholly within the frontage of 63 Donald Street and thus shouldn’t affect any neighbours on-street parking

9. The provision of the 8m No Parking would allow for the space to be kept clear for when the Maxi Taxi arrives for the disabled resident and ensures that he is assisted in and out of the Maxi Taxi in a safe manner.

Financial Implications

10. Within budget allocation. RMS Traffic Facility Grant – approximately $300

Item: TAC045-18 Bayside Drive Lugarno - No Parking Restriction

Author: Senior Traffic Engineer

Directorate: Assets and Infrastructure

Matter Type: Agenda Items

Recommendation

To be determined by Committee

Executive Summary

This report is seeking the Traffic Committee’s advice in regards to existing 20m No Parking around the cul de sac end of Bayside Drive Lugarno.

Background

1. Council received representation from a resident living at 19 Bayside Drive Lugarno requesting that Council consider installing a “No Parking” restriction at the cul de sac end of Bayside Drive, Lugarno to allow for easier ingress and egress into and out of his property.

2. The resident advised that the off street parking to his property is accessed via a 27m long driveway from the cul de sac end of Bayside Drive, Lugarno.

3. The resident further advised that on many occasions visitors of nearby residents would park around the cul de sac hindering access to his driveway and preventing vehicles and garbage trucks from utilising the turning circle to safely turn around.

4. Accordingly the resident has requested that No Parking be installed around the cul de sac to ameliorate the problem of cars blocking the resident’s entrance to his driveway.

5. The traffic committee after considering the above information, recommended in its April 2017 traffic advisory committee that 20m of No Parking be installed in the cul-de-sac end of Bayside Drive, Lugarno to allow for easier egress out of the vehicular crossing for number 19 Bayside Drive Lugarno and to allow for safe turning of vehicles around the cul-de sac.

6. It is advised that the No Parking was installed only around the circular circumference of the cul-de sac that is meant to be utilised for turning of vehicles. The rest of Bayside Drive has unrestricted parking and all the neighbours have access to off street parking.

7. After the installation of the No Parking, the resident who made representation to Council reported a great improvement in accessing his property, however other neighbours objected to the length of the No Parking, advising that this caused a substantial amount of loss of on street parking.

8. The Neighbours advised that due to the location of their street within the suburb of Lugarno which is limited in access to public transport, many of the residents have more than one vehicle per family and accordingly rely on on-street parking for their extra vehicles that cannot be accommodated off the road.

9. Furthermore the objecting residents advised that the loss of parking has caused much inconvenience to residents to the area as the area is used by

· Council Bushcare Staff

· Council Maintenance Staff

· Tradespeople attending to various properties

· Overflow parking by residents

· Visitors to the area

· Residents and public going on bushwalks along the river path

· Dog walkers.

10. Council’s traffic section consulted with the resident that made the original request for the installation of the No Parking in regards to his view on shortening the No Parking restriction.

The resident wrote back advising the following:

“I would object to this action taking place as the reason for the original request was that the neighbours in my Cul-de-sac were parking their cars along that particular side of the Cul-de-sac making it very difficult for us to reverse / access our drive way………….As we have a long driveway and poor street visibility and constantly reverse out … I feel it would become a major safety issues for cars to be parked along that side. I would be devastated if we were to accidently hit someone’s car or even worse hit someone getting out of their car. At present the location of the sign is working well with plenty of street parking for the resident’s cars and locals who come and visit the reserve.”

Financial Implications

1. No budget impact for this report.

Recommendation

That a 4m “No Parking, Motorcycles Excepted” zone be installed on the northern side of Stanley Street, Kogarah, between No.’s 7 and 9, as shown on the plan TC1693 attached to the report.

Executive Summary

1. This report seeks the Committee’s consideration for the installation of a “No Parking, Motorcycles Excepted” zone on the northern side of Stanley Street, Kogarah.

Background

2. Council received a request from a resident to investigate the parking conditions on the northern side of Stanley Street. In particular highlighting that vehicle’s often park adjacent to the small sections of kerb, between driveways.

Item: TAC047-18 Relocation of Penshurst Public School to Peakhurst West Public School - Proposed changes to parking restrictions

Author: Senior Traffic Engineer

Directorate: Assets and Infrastructure

Matter Type: Agenda Items

Recommendation

(a) THAT an additional 60m of “No Parking, 8.00am-9.30am – 2.30-4.00pm, Mon-Fri, School days” Parking restriction be installed along the eastern side of Ogilvy Street, Peakhurst within the school frontage.

(b) THAT an additional 40m “Bus Zone, Mon-Fri” School days be installed along the western side of Belmore Road directly outside the school frontage, replacing the existing “kiss and ride” zone.

(c) THAT a 40m “No Parking, 8.00am-9.30am – 2.30pm-4.00pm, Mon-Fri, School days” be installed along the eastern side of Belmore Road, Peakhurst outside properties 82-86 Belmore Road, Peakhurst to accommodate parents dropping off and picking up their children.

Executive Summary

1. This report seeks the Traffic Committee’s consideration to introduce parking restriction around Peakhurst West Public School to accommodate the relocation of Penshurst Public School students while their school is being developed.

Background

2. To meet future demands due to growth in population forecasted in the Hurstville/Penshurst catchment, the Department of Education is proposing to redevelop Penshurst Public School located in Arcadia Street, Penshurst.

3. Upon completion of the main works, Penshurst Public School proposes to accommodate 1,012 students, assisting in alleviating current enrolment pressures within the Hurstville Local Government Area (LGA).

4. Penshurst Public School will contain high quality collaborative learning spaces and associated facilities, creating future focused education through new and sustainable buildings.

5. While Penshurst Public School is being developed, it is proposed to relocate all the enrolled students to Peakhurst West Public School.

6. To ease congestion related to the transportation of extra students to and from Peakhurst West Public School, it is proposed that a shuttle bus service will operate between the Penshurst and Peakhurst West school sites.

7. To cater for the extra buses that will frequent Peakhurst West Pubic School It is proposed to double the length of the existing bus zone on the Peakhurst West Public School side of Belmore Road.

8. The extended bus zone will allow two waiting shuttle buses at one time. The bus zone will be extended on the expense of the existing “kiss and ride” “No Parking” Zone currently existing on the school side.

9. The Traffic Impact Study prepared for the development application identified that the existing kiss and ride zone on the school side of Belmore Road is not being fully utilised.

10. However to compensate for the loss of the “kiss and ride” zone along the western side (school side) of Belmore Road, it is recommended that an additional “kiss and ride” zone, be installed on the eastern side of Belmore Road.

11. Furthermore it is proposed to extend the existing “No Parking, 8.00am-9.30am, 2.30pm-4.00pm, Mon-Fri”, school days along the eastern side (school side) in Ogilvy Street to cover the entire school frontage.

12. Accordingly a summary of the requested changes to parking restrictions associated with the relocation of students to Peakhurst West Public School is as follows

13.

a) Extend the existing “No Parking” Kiss & Ride zone on Ogilvy Street by an extra 60m to the southern boundary of the school.

b) Extend the Bus Zone on the western side (school side) of Belmore Road by an extra 40 meters which is the length of the currently existing “kiss & ride” zone. This will double the length of the bus zone to accommodate two waiting shuttle buses at one time, whereby students will be dropped off at the same side of the school and enter via school gate.

c) Provide temporary “kiss & ride” facilities on the opposite side of Belmore Road. Existing parking control on the opposite side of Belmore Road is unrestricted parking. The proposed temporary kiss and ride zone will be mainly used to accommodate the students that their parents prefer to drop them off to school rather than catch the shuttle bus.

14. As the recommended “kiss and ride” zone in Belmore Road is directly outside residents homes in Belmore Road Peakhurst, the traffic section notified the affected residents advising them of the proposal.

15. Council received three (3) objections to the No Parking, two of the objections were in regards to the intensification of the school, lack of enforcement and parents driver behaviour, however one objection from number 94 Belmore Road Peakhurst advised that he needs the on street parking outside his home as he is a shift worker and needs his work vehicle to be parked on the road as his garage occupies his family car.

16. The proposed parking restriction as notified to the residents on Belmore Road did not extend to the objector’s property, however, keeping in mind the other objections, it is recommended to shorten the proposed kiss and ride zone to 40m so as to minimise the negative effects of on street parking for the residents.

17. Accordingly it is recommended that there be a provision of 40m of “kiss and ride”, “No Parking, 8.00am – 9.30am, 2.30pm-4.00pm, Mon-Fri, outside properties 82-86 Belmore Road Peakhurst to accommodate the parents of Penshurst Public School, dropping off and picking up students.

18. Students being dropped off and picked up along the eastern side of Belmore Road will be able to utilise the wombat crossing located at the intersection of Belmore Road and Park Street to safely cross to the other side of the school. The Pedestrian Crossing is manned by a school supervisor.

Financial Implications

19. Within budget allocation. RMS Traffic Facility Grant – Approximately $1,000

Community Engagement

20. Community engagement was conducted including:

As the recommended “kiss and ride” zone in Belmore Road is directly outside residents homes in Belmore Road Peakhurst, the traffic section notified residents living on properties from 82-94 Belmore Road advising them of the proposed “kiss and ride” restrictions.

Council received three (3) objections to the No Parking, two of the objections were in regards to the intensification of the school, lack of enforcement and parents driver behaviour, however one objection from number 94 Belmore Road Peakhurst advised that he needs the on street parking outside his home as he is a shift worker and needs his work vehicle to be parked on the road as his garage occupies his family car.

Item: TAC048-18 Webb Street, Riverwood - Proposed "No Stopping" zone

Author: Assistant Traffic Engineer

Directorate: Assets and Infrastructure

Matter Type: Agenda Items

Recommendation

That a 32m “No Stopping” zone be installed on the northern side of Webb Street, Riverwood, as shown on the plan TC1699 attached to the report.

Executive Summary

1. This report seeks the Committee’s consideration for the proposed installation of a “No Stopping” zone on the northern side of Webb Street, Riverwood.

Background

2. A request was received by Council from a resident to consider restricting parking along Webb Street, due to the road narrowing west of the intersection with Keppel Avenue.

3. Following investigations by Council officers, it was found that Webb Street narrows to approximately 7.5m wide, west of the intersection with Keppel Avenue. There are currently no parking restrictions on either side of Webb Street, aside from a 10m statutory “No Stopping” zone on the southern side. The area is frequently parked out by commuters due to the close proximity to Riverwood Train Station. Due to the natural curvature of the road it is often difficult to see oncoming traffic on Webb Street, especially when turning left from Keppel Avenue.

4. It is therefore proposed to install a 32m “No Stopping” zone on the northern side of Webb Street. This will prevent vehicles parking in this location and provide a safe location for vehicles travelling along Webb Street to wait for a safe opportunity to pass each other, improving safety in this location.

Financial Implications

5. Within budget allocation – RMS Traffic Facility Grant – Approximately $300.

Background

2. A request was received from a business owner to consider installing more short term parking at the intersection of Ocean Street and Railway Parade, Kogarah. This is to allow for higher parking turnover for customers who visit the businesses in the vicinity.

3. Currently there is a 12m “1/2P, 8:30am – 6pm, Mon-Fri, 8.30am-12.30pm, Sat” zone on the western side of Ocean Street near to the intersection of Railway Parade, Kogarah. There is also a “2P, 8:30am – 6pm, Mon-Fri, 8.30am-12.30pm, Sat” zone along the southern side of Railway Parade between Ocean Street and Bowns Road.

4. Following investigations by Council officers, it was found that this location has a very high demand for parking. There is also no short term parking available in the vicinity. It is proposed to install a 12m “1/4P, 8:30am – 6pm, Mon-Fri, 8.30am-12.30pm, Sat” zone on the western side of Ocean Street near to the intersection of Railway Parade, Kogarah.

5. It is also proposed to install a 12m “1/4P, 8:30am – 6pm, Mon-Fri, 8.30am-12.30pm, Sat” zone on the southern side of Railway Parade, near to the intersection of Ocean Street. This is equivalent to 2 car spaces in each location.

Following investigations by Council officers, it was found that due to the existing streetscape, the location of parked vehicles and congestion during school pick-up and drop-off times, that Special Transport Vehicles had difficulties safely exiting the property. It is therefore proposed to install a 13m “No Stopping, 8am-9.30am, 2pm-3.30pm, Mon-Fri” zone, to prevent vehicles parking in this location during peak school pick-up and drop-off periods.

Financial Implications
