Recommendation
to
1. That a ‘2P 8am-6pm Mon-Fri Permit Holders
Excepted Area 08’ restriction be installed on the south side of Thomas Street
between James Ruse Drive and Pemberton Street, Parramatta.
2. That the length of existing ‘No Stopping’ restriction located on
the north side of Thomas Street at James Ruse Drive be extended to the west up
to the boundary of 136 and 138 Thomas Street.
3. Further, that the residents
living within the proposed Resident Parking Scheme in Thomas Street between
James Ruse Drive and Pemberton Street, Parramatta be eligible for Resident
Parking Permits in accordance with Council guidelines.
Comments:
Councillor Bide enquired whether a
‘Loading Zone’ should be installed in the street to service residents in the
area. Councillor Bide
also enquired whether
Council should install parking restriction (permit holders excepted) on both
sides of the street instead of leaving one side for student parking.
Council’s
Service Manager - Traffic and Transport informed the Committee that Council generally installs
parking restrictions on the south or west side of streets within Resident
Parking Scheme area surrounding the Parramatta CBD. On-street parking generally becomes available
in the time restricted side of the street and can be used for deliveries. If parking restrictions were installed on
both sides, there would be no unrestricted parking for motorists that do not
have permits such as visitors, residents that decide not to have permits and
local employees. It was also noted that
there were 2 further responses to the survey, both in support of the proposal;
one of these also wanted the restrictions in the evening, on Saturday and on
both sides of the street.
The Representative of Cycleways
Committee and Bicycle NSW indicated that all the properties have driveways so
that many deliveries can be made to the properties.
Recommendation from the
As
Above.

1106 A4 INTERSCETION OF
RESTRICTION
File: F2010/03205
Ward: Arthur Phillip Ward
State Electorate:
Recommendation
to
That Council approve the following
items at the T-Intersection between
1. Dual ‘Give Way’ signs on O’Connell Street immediately south
of Barney Street, North Parramatta as shown in the attached sketch.
2. ‘Give Way’ linemarking be marked on O’Connell Street south
of Barney Street, North Parramatta as shown in the attached sketch.
3. A ‘Give Way Sign Ahead’ on the western side of O’Connell
Street south of Barney Street, North Parramatta as shown in the attached
sketch.
Comments:
The Committee noted the lack of a
clear priority between some movements at the intersection but also noted that,
based on the collision history (for the most recent 5 years) this had not
caused any accidents. It was noted that
making changes may result in additional queuing and that there may be
additional accidents. However, under the
current arrangements, Council may be liable for a collision under certain
circumstances.
Converting the intersection to the
standard T-intersection arrangement was also discussed. This option was supported by Council’s
Service Manager – Traffic and Transport but not supported by the RTA representative.
Parramatta Police and the
Representative for Geoff Lee MP, the other voting members for this item (apart
from the RTA representative and Councillor Bide) were not present at the
meeting. Accordingly, this matter was
deferred to the next Parramatta Traffic Committee.
Recommendation from the
