Ryde Integrated Transport Strategy Key Trip Generators Workshop – Community Group 22 February 2006, 4:00pm – 5:30pm City of Ryde Offices

Participants Jan McCredie, Manager Strategic Planning City of Ryde Jenai Davies, Sustainability Engineer City of Ryde Kim Woodbury, Group Manager Works Division City of Ryde Susan Francis PBAI Greg Williams Gladesville Community Aide Maurie Burns Eastwood Public School Barbara Humphries Northern Sydney Health Promotion (Part of Ryde Hospital) Christine Nafe Ryde Hunters Hill Community Transport Maureen Olsen Ryde Hunters Hill Community Transport Barry Pecar Meadowbank Public School David Green North Sydney Health for Macquarie Hospital

Notes

Roads • Peak hour spreading. (GW) • Victoria Road / Church Street – congestion at intersections has a knock on effect, possibly due to phasing of lights at intersection. (MB) • Through traffic in Ryde is a major problem. (DG) • Too much development happening at Meadowbank causing traffic problems especially at the Belmore Road / Constitution Road roundabout. (BP)

Car Parking • Shops up against business when it comes to parking. (Gladesville Aid) • Park and ride should be available at major train stations; • Park and ride should be available at multi storey car parks and then shuttle buses would bring people to shopping centres so that cars and congestion are kept away from shopping centres;

Public Transport • Poor links between Macquarie hospital and shopping centres. (BH) • The journey from Ryde to the city is quicker by bus than car. (MO) • No direct public transport link from Lane Cove to Ryde. (JMC) • No direct transport link from northern beaches to Ryde. • No direct transport link down Lane Cove Road. • Bus routes are not logical. • There should be regional connection buses. • Push state government to extend rail line to Parramatta.

• Public transport should be convenient and speedy. • Difficulty for consultation and shift staff getting to hospital by public transport. • Few alternatives to existing routes and not frequent enough. • There is perception of public transport being unsafe – this could be addressed through lighting at bus stops. • Children are getting a bad impression of public transport from an early age because of unreliable timetables. • Provide light rail.

Integration • Poor bus services between Eastwood station and Ryde hospital. (BH) • Bad integration between public transport services. • It should be an easy/straight forward process to travel to work / other places by public transport. • Public transport is tacky and not integrated. (JMC) • Problems with public transport at schools. Meadowbank public school finishes at 3:15 and bus to the station stops outside at 3:10 – the next bus is not for an hour. Bus timetables should take into account school finishing times.

Walking / Cycling • The topography of the area is hilly for cycling and walking. • A pedestrian access plan should be developed for the area. • Primary schools at workshops don’t recommend cycling to students and the police to not recommend cycling by children under 10. • The mix of pedestrians and cyclists on shared paths is sometimes dangerous; • People / children should be educated about cycling; • Cycle links to other LGA’s should be provided;

Disabled / Elderly Access • Community transport provides a shuttle bus to shopping centres but they do not allow too many bags on the bus for safety reasons. A home delivery service by shopping centres would compliment the community transport service. • There are lot of transport services available for the disabled and elderly but information is not widely available; • Low floor buses may still not be fully accessible as they do not pull right up to the kerb; • The area around all bus stops should be level and maintained for ease of use by the disabled / elderly; • Something to hold onto at bus stops for people alighting would be advantages for the elderly;

General

• A lot of school children travelling from Parramatta to Meadowbank public school. (BP) • Ryde is like an island surrounded by rivers and the railway line with only a few accesses in and out. • Employ local workers; • Stager work hours; • Encourage car sharing – possibility of Council providing a car share database; • School shuttle buses should be provided; • Review fringe benefit tax for vehicles; • Locally source goods to reduce freight traffic; • Provide facilities for motor scooters; • Increase fuel costs;

Meeting Minutes

Ryde Integrated Transport Strategy Key Trip Generators Workshop – Community Group 22 February 2006, 6:00pm – 7:30pm City of Ryde Offices

Participants Sam Cappelli, Manager, The Environment City of Ryde Jenai Davies, Sustainability Engineer City of Ryde Bryony Cooper PBAI Susan Francis PBAI Reg Cain Gladesville Chamber of Commerce Ross Rocca Midway Shopping Centre Ross Rocca Senior Midway Shopping Centre Richard Bradshaw Salvation Army Employment Plus Councillor Tagg City of Ryde Kathryn Wener Property Council

Notes

Reg Cain, Gladesville Chamber of Commerce • Through traffic a problem. • Electric buses should be introduced. • This is a chance to lead Australia in this field. • The road from Gosford to the City is bumper to bumper at 6.00 am with commuter traffic travelling at 110 kph.

Ross Rocca junior – Midway Shopping Centre • Ryde is used as a short cut from the Hills area to the city. • Solution to problem is external to Ryde. • We need a reliable, clean and frequent public transport system. • Fix the existing public transport and then improve and increase frequency. • Heading the wrong direction with tunnels. • The council solution to change parking code is not good. • Public transport is ok but not as good as it used to be.

Ross Rocca Senior – Midway Shopping Centre • Public transport was more reliable previously. • There was a tunnel proposed from Victoria Road to Blaxland Road 40 years ago but was never developed. • A light rail system along Epping Road was originally proposed as part of the road.

Richard Bradshaw – Salvation Army Employment Plus • Job seekers have issues getting to local jobs as public transport between local areas is poor.

• There are 2 or 3 major routes through Ryde but there are no linking routes e.g. Top Ryde to St. Leonard’s and Top Ryde to Epping. • Integration of main public transport axis required. • More local routes needed. • Top Ryde to city via north shore is not well serviced, there used to be a route but I think route 287 runs during peak hours only. • If buses are late connections area missed.

Cr Tagg – Council of Ryde • Through traffic due to tradesmen. • People take rat runs through Ryde. • Buses should be clean, regular and serviced. • Transit lanes are often blocked. • Lane Cove Road – T3 transit lanes. • Ryde is a go between area.

Kathryn Werner – Policy Advisor, Property Council of Australia • Public transport doesn’t integrate land use and transport. • Metro Strategy – dispersing employment will have an impact on through traffic. • How will this project relate to other Ryde projects? • This project needs to pull everything together in a transparent way and take advantage of the opportunity to integrate other studies. • Lobby for the Parramatta Rail line to be extended.

General discussion • Bus only lanes on Victoria Road will kill off shops. • Incentives to reduce car parking through planning policies. E.g. reduced parking in return for less turnaround time for DA by council or more floor space area. • What can we look at to encourage more businesses and residents to remain in the area? • Change mind set of public. • Need a frequent and trustworthy public transport service. • Opportunity to lobby for metro trains or bring timeline for rail lines forward. • There was a tram through the area and plans for a light rail. • Population density in the area is a problem. • Maximise existing transport nodes. • Trains and buses don’t line up for timing – connecting times is important. • Park & ride at Eastwood is good. • Need more park & ride at rail stations. • Should have park and ride and rail integrated commuter tickets. • No parking at new rail link. • Should consider light rail on road reserves that aren’t going to be used. • Good opportunity to co operate with Parramatta Council to lobby for the extension of the PRL. • There has been a lack of transport infrastructure development in the last 20-30 years. • There is a thought in government that public transport should pay for itself but it can’t. Also there are hidden costs with this because more car use costs money in roads, congestion etc. • Public transport should be subsidised to help reduce maintenance costs, time lost etc. due to congestion etc. • Gladesville car park at RSL should be made into a multi storey car park. • There are existing road reserves at Epping Highway to Gladesville Bridge and Epping to Brush Farm that could be used for light rail. • Requirement for greater frequency of ferries especially at Meadowbank.

Major Trip Generators Workshop Wednesday 22 February 2006

Session 1- Business Table 4.00pm to 5.45pm (Note: Community Table attended by Jenai)

Presenter - Bryony

Attended by:

Tony Abboud - Ryde CofC + Local Real Estate Agent John Booth - The Weekly Times Brad Chan - Eastwood Shopping Centre Peter Morley - Stocklands Graham Welch - Astra Zeneca Rob Mackay - ING Warren Latham - City of Ryde (CoR), Manager Access & Facilities Ray Wilson - Gladesville Commerce Sam Cappelli – CoR, Manager the Environment Stewart Seale – CoR, Integrated Planning Coordinator Cr Terry Ryan - Councillor CoR (part meeting) Mayor Cr Ivan Petch - CoR Robert Cowley - Macq Uni Jim Jameson - Meadowbank TAFE Charles Kirby - Ryde CofC Heidi Echla - Agent for Macquarie Centre Wendy ??? - Agent Macquarie Centre

Issues Discussed:

T.Abboud - Need to stop Victoria Rd traffic through Top Ryde. Remove right hand turn from Ford dealership on Victoria Rd. Need to push for integrated transport connecting times between various form of transport. Consider bus shuttles to transport nodes. J Booth - Pushed for alternative fuels. Bushed electric bus. Fewer traffic lights to improve traffic flow. Lights cause traffic congestion. P Morley - push for more off street carparking at Macq Park to increase business viability. G Welch – Won’t get people out of cars. Staff won’t rely on public transport. Macq Park built for car. R Mackay – wants short-term parking at Macq Park. Doesn’t agree on travel smart program. Wants more visitors parking at commercial sites. R Wilson – Pittwater Rd is getting busier and busier. Disagrees with parking meters. Wants right turn into Victoria Rd from Pittwater Rd to help traffic flow. R Cowley – Macq Uni looking at commercial advantage of building carpaking on site. Are looking at attracting commercial partnerships on campus. Wants to attract big business to biggest growing area. J Jameson – Wants improved public transport. Is concerned for staff and student transport + parking. Consider land use impact. Wants incentives for alternative fuels/transport. C Kilby – Objects to parking meters. H Echla – worried about traffic congestion around Macq Centre. Wants improved accessibility between centres. Link metro strategy Parking restrictions will kill off commercial viability of business centres Modal split targets too quick for businesses– should be staged. There will always be a reliance on the motorcar. Need to correlate residential with corporate growth. Through traffic N/S and E/W is the biggest problem. Solution is outside CoR control. Need and should aspire to a fast, reliable, clean, on-time and frequent public transport system before public will trust system and start to think alternatives to car. Aim should be how to make car travel through Ryde faster. Faster travel through arterial roads. Push the State Government. Need more on/of ramps main arterial roads to reduce reliance on traffic lights. Promote traffic under Victoria Rd, bypass from Ryde Bridge through to Lane Cove Rd. Work place travel plans are worthy of consideration, even challenging a 5% reduction in cars to work places. Integrate with bus shuttles and community transport. Many thought transit ways were not being maximized. Some supported London Public Transport Model and some the Paris Model. Community will pay for good transport solutions, although many thought that Government should have complete control of transport infrastructure and that community can pay through taxes etc. Government should focus on better public transport in the Hills District and the North West sector and alternative transport options from the Central Coast where many people are commuting daily to and from work. Impacts from these are contributing to traffic congestion in and through Ryde. Need to lobby local member who is also the Deputy Premier.

Session 2- Table 6.00pm to 7.40pm

Presenter - Bryony

Attended by:

Reg Cain – Gladesville Chamber of Commerce Ross Rocca – Midway Shopping Centre Ross Rocca Senior – Midway Shopping Centre Richard Bradshaw – Salvation Army Employment Plus Cr Tagg (part meeting) Kathryn Werner – Property Council Sam Cappelli – City of Ryde, Manager The Environment Jenai Davies – City of Ryde, Sustainability Engineer

Issues Discussed:

Reg Cain - Problem is with through traffic North/South and East/West. Need to improve traffic flow. Better more reliable public transport. Is a strong advocate for electric buses. Hypothetically if public transport needs to be increased along Victoria Rd hence restricting parking at times then could look at RSL offstreet carpark. Look at providing corridor from Epping Rd to Gladesville Bridge and Epping Rd to Brush Farm. Look at improvements to ferry services particularly for new developments at Meadowbank. Ross Rocca - Solution is outside control of Ryde Council. Need to improve public transport between Hill district and the City CBD. Need a clean, frequent and reliable public transport system. Should focus on fixing current infrastructure rather than creating new ones. Whilst the underground public transport system works in Paris, retrofitting in Sydney can only be tokenistic with examples such as the cross-city tunnel being a band-aid solution. The M7 has worked. Cannot support carparking space restrictions for customers having to access shopping centres. There may some merit to workplace travel plans targeting staff movements. However public transport particularly outside of peak times less frequent and difficult for staff to access centre. Ross Rocca Senior – The way trams and buses ran in the ‘old days’ were reliable. Plans for tunneling under Victoria Rd to link the Ryde Bridge with Lane Cove Rd to relieve congestion on Devlin St were shelved several years ago. Why can’t they be resurrected? Apparently the tramline from Epping came to within 100m of Ryde several years ago. Why can’t that be reopened? Surprised light rail/monorail along Victoria Rd never happened. Also there was once meant to be a light rail out to Epping, could still consider. Need to improve late night public transport services. Need to improve timing and connections of public transport. Need to look at more high rise parking stations near rail stations. Look at using old road corridors to put in light rail. Richard Bradshaw – Wants a better public transport system to support young out of work jobseekers most of whom lack cars to make it easier for them to move around. Lack of connectivity, out of sync connection times between the public transport providers on main routes needs to be addressed. Need to improve transport options between Top Ryde to City via St Leonards/Artarmon, Top Ryde to Epping, Top Ryde to North Sydney and Victoria Rd to City and to Parramatta. Could also improve PT links from Ryde to Silverwater Industrial Area. Need to integrate PT services with new rail lines. Opportunities to improve bus transport to Epping via North Shore should also be explored. Problem of insufficient densities to support high quality public transport. Should advocate for Park and Ride combined tickets. Look at building stations over rail lines incorporating parking and higher densities, mixed use. Assessment of new roads need to be on same basis as that for public transport with all costs displayed including those usually hidden in road assessment such as subsidies to road users. Public transport need to cater for shift workers. Cr TAGG. Also a strong advocate for the electric bus and does not support parking meters. Supports needs for a strong reliable and frequent public transport system, particularly from and to the Central Coast. Also agrees that passing traffic through Ryde (both N/S and E/W) are our biggest problems and largely outside Council’s control. Wants express bus lanes and more people using the transit lanes to improve traffic flow. Keep buses regular, clean and serviced. Catharine Werner – Wants strategy to link with Metro Strategy. Has a concern that Metro Strategy is too focused on land use and does not pay enough regard to transport issues. Our strategy needs to address major new development areas as they assess our through traffic. Need to look at regional and sub-regional plans, particularly how the transport system will work around Macq Park. Is a strong advocate for incentives to reduce reliance on the car. Such things as carpooling, corporate incentives for staff that choose to take public transport or walk instead of a Council car. Prefers Council offer incentives for reduced carparking rates (ie introduce a maximum carparking rate and if properties do not utilize get benefits such as extra floorspace, quicker turnaround time for DAs ie prefer carrot rather than stick approach). We need to look at the provision of carparking on a competitive basis for attracting business compared to other areas. Supports a need to link transport to landuse and to relate to density. Wants Gov’t to bring forward North Western rail-line and also have rail extended to Parramatta. As others wants better connectivity between the various public transport providers. Supports dedicated commuter-parking stations at main transport nodes. Supports more education regarding sustainable transport options.
