3 INSTALLATION OF SCHOOL ZONE FLASHING LIGHTS

FILE NO: T-34-23 Part 1

Summary:

Correspondence has been received from the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), advising that school flashing lights will be installed at the existing 40 km/h school zones adjacent to various schools in the Canterbury local government area to ensure that the school zones are clearly visible to motorists.

The RMS commenced installation of the proposed flashing lights in February 2015, the schools have been contacted by the RMS to identify where the lights will be installed.

It is recommended that the information be noted.

Council Delivery Program and Budget Implications:

This report has no implications for the Budget. It supports our Community Strategic Plan long term goal of Transport Alternatives That Work.

Report:

Correspondence has been received from the RMS regarding the School Zone Flashing Lights Program in the following terms:

The NSW Government has provided funding for the placement of school zone signs with flashing lights at all schools by the end of next year to alert motorists of the 40 km speed limit required during school drop off and pick up times. Installing these flashing lights in school zones has been shown to improve driver awareness of the need to drive at a lower speed to ensure the safety of children and other coming and going from the school area. Roads and Maritime Services are delivering this safety initiative and plan to install signs outside the following schools the week beginning Monday 16 February 2015 outside of 40km school zone hours.

Work will take up to two hours to complete, weather permitting. Lights are installed on pre-existing poles or new poles are put in place if needed. Partial lane closures may be in place while work is carried out to ensure safety of road users and workers. There will be some noise associated with this work, but every effort will be made to minimise these impacts.”

Comments Given the difficulties for motorists in identifying school zones, the installation of

flashing lights at the above schools would improve driver and pedestrian safety. The RMS have contacted the schools to identify where the lights will be installed.

They will also notify schools when the flashing lights are to be installed.

RECOMMENDATION:

THAT the information provided by the RMS be noted.

5 HILL LANE, CAMPSIE - REQUEST FOR PARKING RESTRICTIONS

FILE NO: 414-6 (e)

Summary:

Correspondence has been received for a resident requesting that parking restrictions be installed in Hill Lane, Campsie, to address access issues.

The location has been inspected, parking, traffic and pedestrian movement observed. Hill Lane is very narrow with a carriageway width of 4.5m which is not wide enough to allow traffic flow if vehicles are parked in the laneway.

It is recommended that “No Parking” and “No Stopping” zones be installed in Hill Lane, as shown on the concept plan included in the report.

Council Delivery Program and Budget Implications:

This report has no implications for the Budget. It supports our Community Strategic Plan long term goal of Transport Alternatives.

Report:

Correspondence has been received for a resident requesting that parking restrictions be installed in Hill Lane, Campsie, to address access issues. Road Hierarchy Hill Lane is a narrow service lane which runs parallel to Evaline Street and Duke Street. Carriageway Width Hill Lane is 4.2m wide in the section behind the Beamish Street shops and 4.3m to 4.5m wide in the sections which run parallel to Evaline Street and Duke Street. Site Inspection The location was inspected on a number of occasions and parking observed. Hill Lane is not wide enough to allow vehicles to park as it is barely wide enough for

two vehicles to pass. Hill Lane is too narrow to allow access for delivery trucks. A large delivery truck was

observed parked with two wheels on the footpath during the inspection. Currently “No Parking Business Hours” restrictions exist on the western side of Hill

Lane in the section of the laneway behind the Beamish Street shops. The existing parking restrictions (“No Parking”) are often used as a “Loading Zone”. The existing parking restrictions allow parking in the lane outside business hours.

Hill Lane is very narrow and in order to improve access it is proposed that the existing parking restrictions be removed and “No Parking” and “No Stopping” restrictions be installed in the laneway to allow vehicles to pass with safety.

Comments Service lanes in the Canterbury Area generally have parking restrictions on at least

one side, as “No Parking” or “No Stopping” zones.

6 EARLWOOD AVENUE, EARLWOOD - RELOCATION OF "NO STOPPING" AND "LOADING" ZONES AND INSTALLATION OF "NO PARKING" ZONE

FILE NO: 268-6 (e)

Summary:

Correspondence has been received from a resident of Earlwood, regarding parking signage affecting parking near the new development at 60 Earlwood Avenue (near Homer Lane), Earlwood.

The area has been investigated and the construction works at 60 Earlwood Avenue (old Police Station) have been completed. The developer has not re-instated the “No Stopping” signpost which was located on the south side of Homer Lane, east of Earlwood Avenue. The “1 Hour Parking” spaces which were located outside the old Police Station cannot be re-instated as there is now a 7m driveway at this location leading to the basement of the new development.

It is recommended that the statutory “No Stopping” zone in Earlwood Avenue at Homer Lane be extended by 3.5m from the southern kerb of Homer Lane to the beginning of the new driveway. It is also recommended that the existing “Loading Zone” signpost be relocated 2m to the south side of the driveway, as shown on the concept plan included in the report. No Parking” signs to be installed in Earlwood Avenue, across the driveway to 60 Earlwood Avenue, Earlwood, as shown on the concept plan included in the report.

Council Delivery Program and Budget Implications:

This report has no implications for the Budget. It supports our Community Strategic Plan long term goal of Transport Alternatives.

Report:

Correspondence has been received from a resident of Earlwood, regarding parking signage affecting parking near the new development at 60 Earlwood Avenue (near Homer Lane), Earlwood. Road Hierarchy Earlwood Avenue is classified as a local road. Comments The location has been inspected and the re-development of old Earlwood Police Station site at 60 Earlwood Avenue, Earlwood, has now been completed. The signs for the “No Stopping” zone which were located at the corner of Earlwood Avenue at Homer Lane and the Loading Zone adjacent to the “No Stopping” zone had not been re-instated. The two “1 Hour Parking” spaces which were located outside the old Police Station cannot be returned as there is now a 7m driveway at this location leading to the basement of the new development. There is a distance of 3.5m between the statutory 10m “No Stopping” (from the southern kerb of Homer Lane) and the beginning of the new driveway. This is not sufficient

for a parking space. Therefore, the statutory 10m “No Stopping” adjacent to 60 Earlwood Avenue, Earlwood, (near the southern kerb of Homer Lane) should be extended by 3.5m to the beginning of the driveway. The existing “Loading Zone” should be relocated 2m to the south of the driveway to facilitate deliveries to the Earlwood Hotel located adjacent to this site. “No Parking” signs should be installed across the driveway to 60 Earlwood Avenue, Earlwood.

RECOMMENDATION:

THAT 1. The statutory “No Stopping” zone adjacent to 60 Earlwood Avenue (at Homer Lane)

Public Consultation On 11 June 2014, 53 questionnaires were mailed to owners, residents and business proprietors who would be affected by this proposal. Only one response was received and the resident was in favour of the proposal. Conclusion It is noted that the majority of residents did not respond to the “one-way” proposal. As reported to the Traffic Committee at the meeting on 5 May 2014, The lane is narrow and it has no footpath which presents safety concerns for pedestrians as they must walk along the carriageway. Cars and trucks often enter the lane from opposite directions and have to wait for one or the other to move to one side while avoiding pedestrians and vehicles exiting the Council Carpark located in Dispensary Lane. Therefore, it is recommended that Dispensary Lane, between Campsie Street and North Street, be made “one-way” subject to submitting a Traffic Management Plan to the RMS for approval.

RECOMMENDATION:

THAT 1. Dispensary Lane, Campsie, be made “one-way” traffic lane from Campsie Street to

North Parade, as shown on the concept plan included in the report. 2. A Traffic Management Plan be lodged to the RMS for approval.
