Agenda Items

Item: TAC016-17 Dora Street Hurstville - Request for installing a Bus Zone

Author: Senior Traffic Engineer, Shereny Selim

Directorate: Assets and Infrastructure

Recommendation

(a) That a 10 metre statutory “No Stopping” restriction followed by a 15 metre “Bus Zone” be installed in Dora Street north of Dalcassia Street, Hurstville.

Executive Summary

1. This report seeks the committee’s approval to formalise a Bus Stop in Dora Street north of Dalcassia Street, Hurstville.

Background

2. Council has received a request to reinstate a Bus Zone in Dora Street south of Bond Street in addition to formalising an existing Bus Stop in Dora Street north of Dalcassia Street Hurstville.

3. It is advised that the Bus Stop in Dora Street south of Bond Street was removed as it was too close to the bus stop in Dora Street north of Dalcassia Street, Hurstville.

4. The resident is requesting that the Bus Stop south of Bond Street to be reinstated as it is close to Hurstville Public Library.

5. If the resident’s request to reinstate the Bus Stop in Dora Street South of Bond Street is accommodated it would result in the loss of 20 metres of ½ hour parking that is currently utilised by Hurstville Library patrons. The loss of such an amount of parking in Hurstville cannot be afforded due to shortage of short term parking in the vicinity.

6. To help ameliorate the resident’s concern it is recommended that Council install a “Bus Zone” at the existing Bus Stop in Dora Street north of Dalcassia Street to prevent illegal parking within the bus stop and help facilitate safe pick-up and drop-off of passengers within the Bus stop.

Financial Implications

8. Within budget allocation. Estimated Cost $300

Item: TAC017-17 Park Road and The Avenue, Hurstville - Danebank Autumn Fair 2017

Author: Senior Traffic Engineer, Shereny Selim

Directorate: Assets and Infrastructure

Recommendation

(a) That the request to change the on-street parking along Park Road and The Avenue, Hurstville adjoining Danebank School to 90 degree angle parking on Saturday, 13 May 2017 from 6am to 9pm to facilitate the Danebank School’s Autumn Fair be approved.

Executive Summary

1. This report seeks the committee’s approval to allow Danebank School to change the parking orientation on The Avenue and Park Road, Hurstville outside the school’s frontage from 6am-6pm on Saturday 13 May 2017 for their annual Open Day and Autumn Fair.

Background

2. Danebank School’s Open Day and Autumn Fair is an annual event, held by the school in its grounds. This year the school is planning to hold this event on Saturday, 13 May 2017.

3. As per previous years, the school has requested Council’s approval to introduce temporary angle parking zones outside the schools frontage in The Avenue and Park Road, Hurstville from 6.00am – 6.00pm on Saturday 13^th May 2017, to help increase availability of on-street parking for the visitors and participants of the event and reduce impact on neighbouring properties.

4. The Avenue and Park Road are 12.8m wide, both are one way streets. The Avenue is restricted to one-way in the southern direction, while Park Road is restricted to one way in the northern direction.

5. The school manages the change in parking orientation and it is restricted only to the school’s frontage.

6. The proposed angle parking arrangement would improve the parking supply and will reduce the width of the carriageway, which consequently acts as a traffic calming measure reducing vehicle speeds during the event.

7. It is advised that this event has been held in the past few years with no reported incidents or inconvenience. The local residents and the school community are familiar with the fete operation hours and the changes in the parking orientation that occurs every year.

Financial Implications

8. No budget impact for this report.

Item: TAC018-17 Macquarie Place Mortdale - Request for No Parking

Author: Senior Traffic Engineer, Shereny Selim

Directorate: Assets and Infrastructure

Recommendation

(a) That a “No Parking” zone be installed along the driveway crossing at 11-15 Macquarie Place, Mortdale to stop vehicles from blocking access to these premises.

Executive Summary

This report seeks the committee’s approval to install No Parking in Macquarie Place Mortdale

Background

1. Council received representation from the owner of 34 Pitt Street, Mortdale requesting that Council consider installing a “No Parking” restriction in Macquarie Place to help improve ingress and egress to his property.

2. The resident advised that the entrance to his property in Pitt Street is facilitated through a long driveway accessed via a driveway next to 13 Macquarie Place Mortdale.

3. The resident further advised that on many occasions cars block the entrance to his off street parking by trying to park along a space of kerbside measuring 4.3m in width adjacent to his driveway.

4. This, in turn, causes the vehicle to block access to the resident’s driveway as the space is not large enough to facilitate parking for a vehicle.

5. Accordingly the resident has requested that No Parking be installed to prevent cars from parking along that section of the road to help keep the entrance to the resident’s driveway clear from obstruction.

6. It is recommended to install the No Parking across the length of 11-15 Macquarie Place to clear their vehicular access from illegal parking due to small kerbside spaces that are located in between the driveways.

Financial Implications

7. Within budget allocation. Estimated Cost $500

Item: TAC025-17 Ocean Lane, Mortdale - Request for No Parking Restrictions

Author: Traffic Engineer, Ben Liddell

Directorate: Assets and Infrastructure

Recommendation

(a) That “No Parking” restrictions be installed along both sides of Ocean Lane, Mortdale between Junction Street and Newman Street.

(b) That the resident be advised of Council’s decision.

Executive Summary

1. Council has received a request from a resident at 32 Jersey Avenue, Mortdale to consider the installation of No Parking restrictions on both sides of Ocean Lane, Mortdale.

Background

2. Unit blocks along Jersey Avenue, Mortdale have off-street parking access from Jersey Avenue and Ocean Lane.

3. A resident of 32 Jersey Avenue has advised that residents are parking illegally along the length of Ocean Lane. As a result the resident finds it difficult to travel along Ocean Lane and access their off-street parking.

4. Accordingly the resident has requested that parking restrictions be installed to improve road safety and ensure unobstructed access to off-street parking for residential properties.

5. A site inspection revealed that Ocean Lane is a one-way lane and is approximately 4.5 metres wide. Council has previously installed No Parking restrictions intermittently along the length of Ocean Lane to alleviate the same parking and access issues. Accordingly it is considered that the laneway is too narrow to allow parking and the installation of No Parking restrictions does have merit.

Financial Implications

6. Within budget allocation. Estimated cost $1000

Background

2. Council has received representation from a resident of Jindabyne Crescent, Peakhurst Heights requesting that Council consider extending the existing “No Stopping” restriction at the intersection of Pindari Road and Jindabyne Crescent to improve sight distance.

5. Accordingly, it is recommended to approve a 10 metre long Works Zone adjoining the abovementioned construction site to ensure unhindered access for construction related vehicles to the site.

Financial Implications

6. Within budget allocation. Estimated cost of works is $230

Executive Summary

1. This report seeks the Committees consideration of the proposed installation of warning signs in Ada Street and Neville Street, Oatley

Background

2. Council received notification from the resident of 22A Neville Street indicating that a vehicle had driven through the intersection of Ada Street and Neville Street into his home on the evening of 1^st March 2017.

3. Council officers contacted police who confirmed the incident, stating that the vehicle failed to navigate the intersection of Ada Street and Neville Street, hitting the dip in the road and becoming airborne and crashing through the front wall of the house.

4. Following further discussions with the resident, it was requested that Ada Street be made a cul-de-sac, preventing access and stopping this incident from reoccurring.

Comments

5. Following investigations by Council officers, it is proposed to install a T-intersection warning sign, with supplementary distance plate, 60m from the intersection of Neville Street, Oatley.

6. Further, a bi-directional hazard marker is installed adjacent to 22A Neville Street, Oatley, this will highlight to driver that there is an oncoming intersection allowing them to navigate it safely.

7. The residents suggested treatment of making Ada Street a cul-de-sac is a very severe form of treatment. There are no historical records indicating incidents in this location and it is therefore not warranted in this instance.

Financial Implications
