Conclusion ................................................................................................................................. 24 ii Greenway Bike Boulevards 1. Introduction Jacobs has been commissioned to provide traffic and transport advice related to the proposed Greenway cycleway between the Cooks River Cycleway and the Bay Run / Cycleway. As part of this work we have been requested to provide information to support the development of bike boulevards. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide background information on the bike boulevards to inform discussion about the implementation of works and the trial of a 30kmh speed limit. 1.2 Background The proposed Greenway Cycleway will be a high quality regional cycle route to cater for all levels of cyclists. Most of the route is off-road following the Hawthorne Canal or the Inner West Light Rail alignments. The cycleway will provide a missing connection between the Cooks River cycleway and the Bays Cycleway as shown in Figure 1.1. The cycleway will be a combination of off-road shared paths that run parallel to the light rail alignment and on road mixed traffic sections. The on-road sections of the Greenway Cycleway are proposed as ‘bike boulevards’. The bike boulevard is a concept of a low speed shared streets for cyclists and vehicles. The bike boulevard is the preferred option for the on-road sections on Ness Avenue and Weston Street, Dulwich Hill. The bike boulevard would be achieved using a combination of traffic calming measures and reduced speed limits. 3 Greenway Bike Boulevards Figure 1.1: Greenway Overview 4 Greenway Bike Boulevards 1.3 Report structure This report is structured as follows: · Section 2 –Background information about bike boulevards and 30km/h speed limits · Section 3 – Current controls in NSW · Section 4 – The proposed Weston Street bike boulevard concept · Section 5 – The proposed Ness Avenue bike boulevard concept · Section 5 – Conclusion. 5 Greenway Bike Boulevards 2. Bike Boulevards 2.1 Description Bike boulevards or cycle streets are cycle routes on quiet local streets. The speed limits are reduced to 30km/h or 20 miles per hour to allow for mixed car and bicycle traffic. They typically take on elements of high pedestrian activity zones and shared zones which include pavement treatments, thresholds and reduced speed limits. The following section describes the application of bike boulevards both within Australia and New Zealand and internationally. 2.2 International bike boulevards Bike boulevards or equivalent treatments have been implemented in several countries around the world. The ‘cycle street’ bike boulevard concept has been implemented in the Netherlands and Germany. These are streets that links dedicated bicycle facilities. Figure 2.1 shows an example of a bike boulevard in the Netherlands. Figure 2.1: Example bike boulevard in Leidseweg Netherlands Germany has a number of examples of ‘Cycle Streets’ on low volume streets where cyclists share the road with vehicles as shown in Figure 2.2. 6 Greenway Bike Boulevards Figure 2.2: Germany Cycle Streets In New Zealand, bike boulevards policy has been developed in Auckland under the name of ‘Local Paths’. In New Zealand the design standards are 30km/h and traffic volumes of less than 2,000 vehicles per day with an aim for 1,000 vehicles per day. The posted speed limits are supplemented with physical measures to reduce speeds. The city of Berkeley in California has implemented a network of bike boulevards. The boulevards comprise treatments at intersections, signage and pavement markings as well traffic calming devices. The design guide from the National Association of City Transportation Officials recommends streets with traffic volumes of less than 1,500 vehicles per day. 7 Greenway Bike Boulevards Figure 2.3: Berkley (USA) Bike Boulevard The City of London has implemented the ‘Quietways’ program which functions in a manner similar to the Bike Boulevard and Cycle Streets in other countries. They feature traffic calming and priority for movements on the Quietway. Sustrans which provides guidance for bicycle infrastructure in the UK also recommends Cycle Streets and provides technical design guidelines in Technical Note 32. Cycle streets are still relatively new in the UK but are currently being trialled. 8 Greenway Bike Boulevards Figure 2.4: Quietway 1 London 9 Greenway Bike Boulevards A broad range of traffic volumes are recommended for bike boulevards. Table 2.1 shows the recommended maximum daily traffic volumes from various sources including treatments in Australia. The Dutch CROW manual recommends a relatively low upper limiting volume for two-way streets of 500 vehicles per hour while upper limit recommended by the German design recommendation is 3,000 vehicles per hour.

Research shows that only 26% percent of riders in NSW are women (2016 Bicycle NSW Bike Riders Survey), a statistic we want to drastically shake up through Gear Up Girl. In 2017, the ride will attract 1,500 + women who will enjoy either the 20km Beach Ride, the 40km Classic Ride or 60km ride Coast Ride. Our three key communication messages to promote Gear Up Girl are: • In celebration of International Women’s Day (8 March), Gear Up Girl will take place on Sunday 12 March to encourage all women to get on their bike. • Help us set a new world record for the ‘largest women’s community bike ride’. • Bicycle NSW and the Heart Foundation are on a mission to communicate some hard hitting facts about Heart Disease and the importance of exercise. 3 GEAR UP GIRL 12 MARCH 2017 BICYCLE NEW SOUTH WALES The Heart Foundation Gear Up Girl is presented by Bicycle NSW.

    AN OVERVIEW OF THE CITY WEST CYCLE-LINK Prepared by: EcoTransit Sydney Date: 1 June 2010 Authorised by the Executive Committee of EcoTransit Sydney The submission (including covering letters) consists of: 14 pages Contact person for this submission: John Bignucolo 02 9713 6993 [email protected] Contact details for EcoTransit Sydney, Inc.: PO Box 630 Milsons Point NSW 1565 See our website at: www.ecotransit.org.au City West Cycle-Link 1 EcoTransit Sydney An Overview of the City West Cycle-Link Summary This document presents a proposal for the City West Cycle-Link, a new cycling facility that would: 1. Provide a cycling and walking tunnel running across and under the City West Link Road, from Darley Road in the west to Derbyshire Road in the east; 2. Offer a safe alternative to crossing the slip lane running from the City West Link Road onto Darley Road; 3. Closely integrate with the proposed Norton 2 (James St) light rail stop, increasing the flow of people in the vicinity of the stop, and thereby enhancing the sense of safety of light rail commuters; 4. Allow cyclists to bypass the climb up Lilyfield Road between the Hawthorne Canal and James Street; 5. Connect with and extend the cycling route along Darley Road proposed as part of the GreenWay project; 6. Provide a grade-separated alternative to Lilyfield Road by creating a comparatively flat and direct connection to the Anzac Bridge cycleway at White Bay via the Lilyfield rail cutting and the Rozelle rail lands. In order to determine its scope and feasibility, EcoTransit Sydney requests that the NSW government via the Department of Transport and Infrastructure (NSWTI) undertake an investigation of the proposal as it has the required technical skills and resources for the task.

  • Agenda of Local Traffic Committee Meeting
    AGENDA R LOCAL TRAFFIC COMMITTEE MEETING APRIL 2020 The April 2020 meeting of the Inner West Local Traffic Committee will be held electronically with the Agenda emailed to Members for review. All comments are requested to be returned to Council by 5.00pm Monday 6 April 2020. Local Traffic Committee Meeting 6 April 2020 Function of the Local Traffic Committee Background Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) is legislated as the Authority responsible for the control of traffic on all NSW Roads. The RMS has delegated certain aspects of the control of traffic on local roads to councils. To exercise this delegation, councils must establish a local traffic committee and obtain the advice of the RMS and Police. The Inner West Council Local Traffic Committee has been constituted by Council as a result of the delegation granted by the RMS pursuant to Section 50 of the Transport Administration Act 1988. Role of the Committee The Local Traffic Committee is primarily a technical review and advisory committee which considers the technical merits of proposals and ensures that current technical guidelines are considered. It provides recommendations to Council on traffic and parking control matters and on the provision of traffic control facilities and prescribed traffic control devices for which Council has delegated authority. These matters are dealt with under Part A of the agenda and require Council to consider exercising its delegation. In addition to its formal role as the Local Traffic Committee, the Committee may also be requested to provide informal traffic engineering advice on traffic matters not requiring Council to exercise its delegated function at that point in time, for example, advice to Council’s Development Assessment Section on traffic generating developments.
