A separate report, the Parramatta Light Rail Operations Traffic and Transport Technical Assessment Report (OTTTAR) report sets out an assessment of the anticipated traffic and transport implications of the operation of the project. The objectives of the CTTIAR are to: Assess the traffic and transport impacts, including pedestrians, cyclists, public transport and parking and conditions for the existing corridor and connections along the project corridor Develop mitigation and management measures to minimise the impacts identified, providing the overarching principles and procedures for implementing traffic and transport management controls. The structure of the report first addresses the prevailing transport conditions throughout the project and provides a framework for procedures and protocols for mitigating and managing impacts on the transport network. These include: Providing safe and accessible facilities for pedestrians and cyclists during construction for all worksites Maintaining public transport services past the worksites (where required), minimising delays on existing bus services through the implementation of appropriate detours and general traffic measures Managing general traffic through and around the worksites, with consideration of local and regional traffic Implementing appropriate haulage routes for construction traffic Minimising the impact of construction on residents and businesses. The project corridor was divided up into five precincts to facilitate the application of the protocols listed above in more detail. The precincts are described as follows: Precinct name Precinct extent Between the Westmead terminus north of Westmead Railway Station and the Parramatta Westmead River crossing west of the Cumberland Hospital site west of Parramatta Park. Between the Parramatta River crossing west of the Cumberland Hospital site, Church Parramatta North Street at Board Street and south to Victoria Road (north of Prince Alfred Square). East of Parramatta Park and south of Victoria Road and east to Purchase Street/ Noller Parramatta CBD Parade, inclusive of the Robin Thomas Reserve. Between Purchase Street, Parramatta in the west and east to the stabling and Rosehill and Camellia maintenance facility in Rosehill and north to the Parramatta River north of Camellia. The existing heavy rail line north of the Parramatta River in Rydalmere to and including Carlingford Carlingford Railway Station. Testing the impacts of construction Extensive traffic modelling has been used to test the potential impacts of construction traffic on the road network and to investigate the benefits of candidate mitigation measures. A mesoscopic traffic model of the area was used to investigate the broader network impacts. The N102531 // 14/08/2017 Final Report Issue: A i Parramatta Light Rail, Construction Traffic and Transport Impact Assessment Report modelling analysed and compared the 2016 base year traffic conditions with each of the proposed construction phases (enabling works, plus two construction phase scenarios) for the following time periods: AM peak: 7 am to 9 am PM peak: 4 pm to 6 pm. The traffic modelling data was supplemented with extensive parking surveys, public transport network data and walking and cycling information to enable an assessment of the entire, integrated transport system. Construction activities The overall process for constructing the project would be as follows: Detailed field investigations (including geotechnical, heritage, contamination and

  • Parramatta Light Rail Fact Sheet
    Fact sheet Enabling Works We’re building the Parramatta Light Rail, one of the NSW Government’s major infrastructure projects to serve a growing Sydney. In early 2019, you will start to notice some changes to Parramatta roads and traffic intersections as we prepare for construction. The Parramatta Light Rail project team will continue to keep you updated before and during the work. LATE 2018 2019 2023 • ENABLING WORKS SITE • MAIN ENABLING WORKS BEGIN • STAGE 1 BEGINS OPERATING INVESTIGATIONS BEGIN • MAJOR CONSTRUCTION BEGINS Enabling Works ‘Enabling Works’ is the term used for construction works such as the relocation of underground utilities, the modification or installation of traffic lights, road widening, the redirection of traffic flows and changes to parking, to modify and improve the capacity of the existing traffic network. The Parramatta Light Rail team will engage with residents and local businesses to communicate changes to property access as a result of the changes. Why is this work being done? Transport for NSW is conducting these works to enable the building and operation of Parramatta Light Rail Stage 1, and to mitigate the impacts of construction. Most of the Parramatta Light Rail Enabling Works What is Parramatta Light Rail? are being undertaken along roads that do not form part of the Parramatta Light Rail route. The works are Stage 1 of Parramatta Light Rail will connect intended to increase road capacity to ensure traffic Westmead to Carlingford, via Parramatta CBD can move in and around the Parramatta area during and Camellia.

  • Transport in the Cumberland Community Research Report June 2020
    Transport in the Cumberland Community Research Report June 2020 Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 Report prepared by the Social Research and Planning Team, Community and Place, Cumberland City Council 2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY Cumberland City Council acknowledges the Darug Nation and People as the traditional custodians of the land on which the Cumberland Local Government Area is situated and pays respect to Aboriginal Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples of Australia. Cumberland City Council also acknowledges other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples living and working in the Cumberland Local Government Area. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PARTICIPANTS Cumberland City Council would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who participated in this research. This report would not have been possible without your time and willingness to share your stories and experiences. Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents findings from research into key transport and mobility challenges for the Cumberland community. This research was conducted between August 2019 and April 2020 and is grounded in empirical data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Transport for NSW, amongst other sources, and extensive community engagement. Quality transport options are fundamental to accessing many essential services, education, employment and social and recreational activities. Although three train lines run through the Cumberland LGA, in addition to the T80 high frequency bus route, many Cumberland residents still have difficulties getting around. Major barriers raised by the community relate to reliability, frequency and coverage of services.

  • Getting to OLMC
    Getting to OLMC Located on the leafy fringe of Parramatta’s vibrant CBD, OLMC provides students with access to all the arts, culture and other learning facilities of a major Western Sydney CBD. The central location and proximity to the Parramatta interchange (approximately 15 minutes’ walk) means students can comfortably travel to and from the College using public transport from throughout western, north western and south western Sydney. Most students use train or bus to travel to and from the College. From the Parramatta transport hub, students have 2 bus options: • State Transit Bus No 697W operates between Parramatta Station and OLMC (Ross Street) in the morning and the afternoon (subject to timetabling). • The free Parramatta Shuttle Bus runs from Parramatta Station and stops on O’Connell Street, across the road from the College. If you have any questions regarding travel to and from the College, including completing the online School Opal Card Application Form, please do not hesitate to contact the Barbara McDonough Student Centre on 9683 3300 for assistance.
