Recommendation
to
That the Parramatta Traffic
Committee consider the proposed pedestrian crossing in Clyde Street, South
Granville between Boronia Street and Byrnes Street.
Comments:
The representatives for RMS advised that the report does not
provide pedestrian and vehicle volume count data to demonstrate that the
proposed pedestrian crossing meets RMS warrants.
Council’s Service Manager of Traffic and Transport advised
the Committee that the report refers to a previous TEAG report in relation to
traffic counts and requirements for a pedestrian crossing. Installation of a pedestrian crossing does
not meet the RMS warrant and there was a split vote from the TEAG meeting of 9
February 2012. However, Council at its
27 February 2012 meeting decided to install the pedestrian crossing in
The representatives for RMS referred to previous TEAG
reports indicating pedestrian accidents had occurred at the existing crossings
in
Councillor Bide, the representative for the Member of
Baulkham Hills and the representative for Cycleways Committee suggested that
the pedestrian volumes are low because it is difficult to cross the road;
however, if a pedestrian crossing is installed the volume of pedestrians will
increase.
Recommendation from the
That the Parramatta Traffic
Committee consider the proposed pedestrian crossing in Clyde Street, South
Granville between Boronia Street and Byrnes Street.
The Committee noted that installation of pedestrian crossing
