REPORT TC/C.01/19.05

Subject: Henrietta Street Contra Flow Bike Lane Dividers

TRIM No: SF19/910

Author: Carolyn New, Sustainable Transport Officer Clint Yabuka, Manager, Strategic Transport

Director: Peter Monks, Director, Planning, Environment and Regulatory

COUNCIL OFFICER’S PROPOSAL:

That Council:

4. Installs the dividers at a minimum separation of three metres. The dividers are not to block intersections or driveways on either side of the road.

5. Installs advisory speed limit signs of 30 km/h at each entry to Henrietta Street.

6. Installs bicycle warning signs at each entry to Henrietta Street, where not already present.

7. Installs ‘Bicycles Exempted’ signs to supplement existing directional signs, where not already present.

8. Installs ‘Share the Road’ signage near the entry to Henrietta Street at Birrell Street and Gibbs Street.

9. Undertakes a further traffic survey of Henrietta Street during the trial period to determine the impact, if any, of the measures undertaken.

1. Executive Summary

Council adopted the Waverley Bike Plan in 2013, which included an action item to provide a crossable concrete median installation to provide additional separation at the contraflow bike lane on Henrietta Street. Council has subsequently received complaints from bike riders when riding in Henrietta both in the contra-flow bike lane and when using the travel lane in the same direction as other vehicular traffic. Riders report feeling threatened by motorists driving in the bike lane despite their presence riding correctly contra-flow in the bike lane. Riders also report they have been abused by motorists when they are riding in

TC/C.01/19.05 Page 16 Waverley Traffic Committee Agenda 23 May 2019 the travel lane correctly in the same direction as the vehicle.

Council has investigated a number of options to create better separation between the contra-flow bike lane and the travel lane. A concrete barrier was considered inappropriate due to the 1.4 metre width of the bike lane. A trial of these collapsible lane dividers is recommended as a minimal intervention which serves as a reminder to motorist to slow down and keep within their travel lane.

Henrietta Street road pavement is quite degraded and the sections of Henrietta Street between Salisbury Road and Victoria Road is scheduled for renewal and repainting in the financial year 2019–20. Council proposes to install additional bicycle advisory and advisory low speed limit signs to augment the refreshed line markings, bicycle logo markings and directional arrows to better inform all road users of correct bicycle use of each of the contra-flow bike lane and traffic lane.

2. Introduction/Background

Henrietta Street is a long-term component of the Waverley Bicycle Network which was included in Bike Plan 2013 as part of Priority Route 3, Bondi Junction to Bronte Beach.

There are two sections to Henrietta Street, one between Birrell Street and Victoria Street, and the other between Bronte Road and Victoria Street. Each section is one-way traffic, with the two sections meeting at Victoria Street. Bicycle use of Henrietta Street is two-way, with a separate contra-flow bicycle lane provided for bicycles travelling in the opposite direction of the one-way traffic direction. Bicycles travelling in the same direction as other traffic are required to use the usual travel lane.

Bike Plan 2013 included a proposed action item to install a crossable median to provide additional separation for contra-flow bike travel. There have been numerous complaints from bike riders using Henrietta Street who feel threatened by motorist driving in the contra-bike lane directly at them. Other complaints have been received from bike riders who have been abused by motorists driving behind them when they use the traffic lane.

3. Technical Analysis

The proposal is to undertake a trial and install collapsible lane dividers as a minimal intervention which serves as a reminder to motorists to slow down and keep within their lane. As these are collapsible, access is still possible for those large vehicles that have a genuine need to use Henrietta Street but cannot fit within the travel lane. These are to be installed after the road is renewed and the line parking, bike logos and directional arrows are refreshed. It is proposed to undertake a traffic survey including counts, speeds and any conflict issues over a one-week period, both before and after the lane dividers are installed.

Details of the proposed trial for collapsible lane dividers were published on a Have You Say webpage with opportunity given for the community to respond to a survey. The design for consultation and Have Your Say survey are included at Attachments 1 and 2. All households in Paul Street received a letter notifying them of the trial, and the letter is included at Attachment 3. The local schools and Cycling Advisory Committee were also advised of the trial.

145 people responded to this consultation. They responded to the consultation using the following channels:

There was a total of 87 respondents who supported the proposal. Most respondents provided further comment on why they supported the proposal. These comments most frequently indicated that the respondents:

• Felt unsafe riding in the bike lane because they experienced motorists driving in the contra-flow lane towards them, until the last minute. • Experienced abuse and intimidation from motorists when riding in the travel lane in the same direction as cars.

There was a total of 53 respondents who objected to the proposal. Comments were optional and varied but primarily the reasons that were expressed and our comments are documented below:

Henrietta Street also provides access to Waverley Junior College and is used by motorists who have accessed Waverley College at Salisbury Street. Council recommends working with Waverley College for more efficient drop-off and pick-up and to encourage more active travel to school.

A number of respondents recommended alternative options to the lane dividers. These primarily came from respondents who supported the need for strategies to better manage motorist use of the road. These options and officer comments are documented below:

REPORT TC/V.01/19.05

Subject: Rickard Avenue, Bondi Beach - Closure at Lamrock Avenue

TRIM No: A03/0042-04

Author: Kablan Mowad, Senior Traffic Engineer

Director: Emily Scott, Director, Community, Assets and Operations

COUNCIL OFFICER’S PROPOSAL:

That:

1. Council:

(a) Approves the closure of Rickard Avenue at the Lamrock Avenue kerb alignment on a temporary, trial basis for 12 months.

(b) Closes the roadway using temporary materials such as New Jersey style concrete barriers or similar.

(e) Installs gaps in the barriers to cater for existing bicycle movements.

2. Following the completion of the twelve-month trial period, a report be brought back to the Waverley Traffic Committee on the outcome of the temporary closure.

1. Executive Summary

A petition, signed by residents of Rickard Avenue, Bondi Beach, has been received requesting that Council give consideration to closing Rickard Avenue at Lamrock Avenue. The petitioners advise the closure is required to reduce through traffic movements and vehicle speeds. Council representatives have met resident representatives of the street on site and have distributed a survey to all Rickard Avenue residents seeking their views on the proposal. Council will need to exercise its delegated function to implement the proposal.

2. Introduction/Background

Residents in Rickard Avenue, who are concerned with the safety of children who play in the street, have requested that the road be closed at Lamrock Avenue. They have made this request as they consider it will result in a lower speeds and volumes of traffic along Rickard Avenue. A traffic management plan for the proposed road closure has been approved by the RMS and is included at Attachment 1.

TC/V.01/19.05 Page 67 Waverley Traffic Committee Agenda 23 May 2019

Figure 1. Sketch of the proposed trial road closure on Rickard Avenue at Lamrock Avenue, Bondi Beach.

3. Technical Analysis

Rickard Avenue is a local road with a speed limit of 50 km/h and is approximately 12.9 m wide. The proposed closure at Lamrock Avenue results in vehicular access being limited to Barracluff Avenue. Council undertook traffic tube counts in Rickard Avenue which showed a seven-day, annual average daily traffic (AADT) volume of 213 vehicles per day eastbound and 195 vehicles per day westbound. The 85th percentile speeds in the street were 37.3 km/h eastbound and 40.9 km/h westbound. Having regard to the relatively low volumes of vehicles currently using Rickard Avenue, (when deducting vehicle movements associated with residents own vehicle movements into and out of the street) the proposed closure is considered will have a minor impact on nearby streets including Barracluff Avenue.

The existing ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on both sides of Rickard Avenue at Lamrock Avenue will be extended to 15 m south-west of the Lamrock Avenue kerb alignment to create a vehicle turning area. This will result in the loss of approximately one parking space on each side of the road.

To maintain access for bicycles to and from Lamrock Avenue, 1.5 m openings will be provided at each end of the New Jersey kerb barriers.

Figure 2. Summary of survey results.

TC/V.01/19.05 Page 68 Waverley Traffic Committee Agenda 23 May 2019

Council officers surveyed the residents of Rickard Avenue. The response rate to this survey was very high at 89.7%. The majority of responses from residents over the combined area were in favour of the proposal to close the road at 84.6%. A summary of the responses is set out in Figure 2. It is also noted that there were also six responses from residents in streets immediately outside the survey area, which were all against the proposed closure.

REPORT TC/V.02/19.05

Subject: Dover Road and Victory Street, Rose Bay - Installation of ‘Give Way’ Restrictions

TRIM No: A03/0042-04

Author: Sam Samadian, Traffic Engineer

Director: Emily Scott, Director, Community, Assets and Operations

COUNCIL OFFICER’S PROPOSAL:

That Council:

1. Installs new ‘Give Way’ signs and lines in Dover Road on the western approach to the intersection with Victory Street, Rose Bay.

2. Installs a new ‘Give Way’ sign in Dover Road on the eastern approach to its intersection with Victory Street to add emphasis to the existing controls.

1. Executive Summary

Council has received requests from residents raising concern for road users at the T-intersection of Dover Road and Victory Street, Rose Bay. Residents consider current traffic controls do not clarify which traffic movement has the right of way. To improve conditions, this report recommends the installation of new ‘Give Way’ signs and lines in Dover Road on the western approach to its intersection. Council will need to exercise its delegated functions to implement the proposal.

2. Introduction/Background

Council has received two recent resident requests raising concerns regarding the safety at the intersection of Dover Road and Victory Street, Rose Bay. Both requests describe a scenario of a vehicle traveling east on Dover Road through the intersection and nearly colliding with a vehicle travelling south in Victory Street due to drivers not having a clear understanding on which driver has the right of way. The residents request the existing ‘Give Way’ lines be relocated from the eastern approach in Dover Road to the southern approach in Victory Street as per standard T- intersection priorities.

TC/V.02/19.05 Page 76 Waverley Traffic Committee Agenda 23 May 2019

Figure 1. Aerial view of the Dover Road/Victory Street intersection, Rose Bay.

3. Technical Analysis

Dover Road intersects Victory Street at a T-intersection with ‘Give Way’ lines installed only on the eastern side approach of Dover Road. The easternmost section of Dover Road terminates at a dead end some 29 m from Victory Street and services only five properties. The main traffic flows through this intersection are from vehicles travelling east in Dover Road turning left onto Victory Street and from vehicles travelling south in Victory Street turning right onto Dover Road. There are no central lines marked within the intersection that clearly define these movements and identify them as that of a continuing road to motorists. Despite this, for the five-year period between 2013 and 2017 inclusive, there have been no recorded vehicle crashes at this intersection.

In accordance with NSW Road Rules, vehicle ‘B’ is required to give way to vehicle ‘A’; see Figure 2 below.

Figure 2. The right of way in a modified ‘T-intersection’ with the driver leaving the continuing road by proceeding straight having to give way to the vehicle traveling through the intersection on the continuing road. Source: NSW Road Rules 2014, Rule 73(7).

TC/V.02/19.05 Page 77 Waverley Traffic Committee Agenda 23 May 2019

Given that there are existing ‘Give Way’ lines marked in Dover Road on the eastern approach to the intersection, drivers traveling south in Victory Street form an assumption that the road continues to their right and onto Dover Road and that they have the right of way. For vehicles traveling west on Dover Road approaching the intersection, the ‘Give Way’ lines are not immediately apparent and subsequently assume that the road continues straight through the intersection and that they have the right of way. As such, a conflicting situation is creating with drivers having uncertainty as to who has the right of way.

By relocating the existing ‘Give Way’ lines from Dover Road onto Victory Street, the intersection will function as a standard ‘T-intersection’ with vehicles travelling south in Victory Street having to give way to traffic in Dover Road. However, issues will arise as drivers travelling south in Victory Street will not be expecting to encounter any vehicles traveling in a westerly direction through the intersection in Dover Road as the section of the road to the east only services five residential properties.

Similarly, drivers in Victory Street may not also expect to encounter any vehicles travelling in an easterly direction in Dover Road through the intersection. Also, the vehicles travelling east in Dover Road through the intersection to the dead end may be obscured behind the majority of vehicles that are turning left into Victory Street which may further allude drivers in Victory Street. In accordance with Austroads Guide to Traffic Management Part 6, one of the principles of safe intersection performance is to give preference to major turning movements of traffic which this standard option would contradict.

By installing additional ‘Give Way’ lines in Dover Road on the western approach, the intersection will give preference to the major turn movements and will comply with Austroads. This option will also remove doubt regarding who has the right of way when travelling east along Dover Road through the intersection. It will also help reduce incidences of corner cutting as it will provide drivers with a visual target when executing the right turn out of Victory Street. In order to improve clarity of the controls at the intersection, it is also proposed to install ‘Give Way’ signs to complement the existing and proposed line marking.

REPORT TC/V.03/19.05

Subject: Curlewis Street, Bondi Beach - Parking Restrictions

TRIM No: A02/0637-02

Author: Geoff Garnsey, Manager, Transport and Development

Director: Emily Scott, Director, Community, Assets and Operations

COUNCIL OFFICER’S PROPOSAL:

That Council:

1. Installs 10 m of ‘No Stopping 6.30 am–9.30 am Mon–Fri’ on the southern side of Curlewis Street, west of the existing ‘No Stopping’ zone at the Wellington Street roundabout.

2. Notifies residents and business operators on the southern side of Curlewis Street between Wellington Street and Simpson Street of the proposal prior to installing the parking restriction signs.

1. Executive Summary

A request has been received to install parking restrictions from 6.30 am to 9.30 am weekdays on the southern side of Curlewis Street, Bondi Beach, west of the roundabout at Wellington Street to improve traffic flow for westbound vehicles between the roundabout and the signalised intersection of Old South Head Road/Curlewis Street/O’Sullivan Road. This report seeks the Committee’s approval to installing restrictions. Council will need to exercise its delegated functions to implement the proposal.

2. Introduction/Background

Representations have been made to the office of the Member for Vaucluse requesting consideration be given to removing vehicles parked kerbside on the southern side of Curlewis Street west of the roundabout at Wellington Street. The matter has now been forwarded from the office of the MP to Council for consideration. The request for the removal of parked vehicles is to increase travel lane widths and improve traffic flow in the morning peak for westbound drivers approaching the signalised intersection of Curlewis Street/Old South head Road/O’Sullivan Road.

TC/V.03/19.05 Page 80 Waverley Traffic Committee Agenda 23 May 2019

Figure 1. Curlewis Street, Bondi Beach, from the Wellington Street roundabout to the traffic signals at Old South Head Road/O’Sullivan Road.

3. Technical Analysis

Curlewis Street is a local road under Council control. The roundabout at the intersection of Wellington Street and Curlewis Street is a single lane roundabout on all legs of the intersection.

Curlewis Street, some 50 m west of the Wellington Street roundabout, increases from a single lane to two marked lanes, then widens to three lanes on the approach to the Old South Head Road/O’Sullivan Road traffic signals.

Parking is unrestricted on the southern side of Curlewis Street from the ‘No Stopping’ zone at the roundabout to the eastern kerb return of Simpson Street. The unrestricted parking caters now for the parking of some 7–8 vehicles following the closure of a bus stop/zone near Simpson Street.

Vehicles in Curlewis Street to the west of the Wellington Street roundabout reportedly queue back from the traffic signals in the morning peak as far as the roundabout. Observations reveal those drivers turning to the right at the signals at Old South Head Road queue back to the roundabout the quickest, and, as a result, those drivers not wanting to turn to the right but travel straight ahead or turn left, are delayed. The request to remove the kerbside parking increases the road width immediately west of the roundabout which has the potential to improve traffic flow.

Removing all parking spaces from the roundabout to Simpson Street is not supported.

The kerbside parking lane does not continue through to Old South head Road and terminates prior to Simpson Street. Removing all parking will result in those travelling in the kerbside lane having to merge back into the adjacent lane which is a left turn only onto Old South Head Road.

TC/V.03/19.05 Page 81 Waverley Traffic Committee Agenda 23 May 2019

Figure 2. Kerbside parking lane on the south side of Curlewis Street terminating at the kerb return to the east of Simpson Street

It is recommended that 10 m of ‘No Stopping 6.30 am–9.30 am Mon-Fri’ be installed on the southern side of Curlewis Street to the west of the ‘No Stopping’ zone at the Wellington Street roundabout outside 23 Curlewis Street to improve traffic flow. The 10 m length coincides with the point at which the BB (double white, unbroken centrelines) on Curlewis Street merge with the painted taper from the Wellington Street roundabout.

REPORT TC/V.04/19.05

Subject: Flood Street, Bondi Junction - Turn Restriction for Vehicles over 6 m

TRIM No: A03/0042-04

Author: Geoff Garnsey, Manager, Transport and Development

Director: Emily Scott, Director, Community, Assets and Operations

COUNCIL OFFICER’S PROPOSAL:

That Council installs:

1. ‘No Right Turn Vehicles Over 6 m’ signs in Flood Street, Bondi Junction, at the intersection of Kenilworth Street to prevent it being used uncontrolled by heavy vehicles.

3. ‘No Left Turn Vehicles over 6 m’ signs in Bondi Road on the north-western corner of Paul Street.

1. Executive Summary

Council has been notified of damage occurring to footpaths and a unit building as a result of heavy vehicles turning and mounting the kerb at the corner of Paul Street and Kenilworth Street, Bondi Junction. This report seeks approval for the installation of signage to ban vehicles over 6 m in length from making turns at selected intersections along Flood Street. Council will need to exercise its delegated functions to implement the proposals

2. Introduction/Background

Council has received advice from residents that heavy vehicles are using Kenilworth Street westbound and Paul Street in a south-easterly direction to travel through the general area. Both streets are residential and unsuitable for use by heavy vehicles, particularly when those vehicles attempt to turn left from Kenilworth Street into the very narrow, Paul Street.

The roads have not been used by heavy vehicles to any large extent in the past. It is possible that drivers with satellite navigation systems are being directed into these two streets when traffic is subject to delays on Old South Head Road.

Figure 1. Plan showing roads in the vicinity of Kenilworth Street.

3. Technical Analysis

Kenilworth Street and Paul Street are both local roads under Council control. Kenilworth Street running from Flood Street in the east to Paul Street in the west has a carriageway width of 12.8 m over much of its length. The width reduces to some 10 m at its intersection with Paul Street. Paul Street has a narrow carriageway width some 5.5m, and is two-way at Kenilworth Street.

Figure 2. Aerial image of Kenilworth Street at Paul Street, Bondi Junction.

TC/V.04/19.05 Page 85 Waverley Traffic Committee Agenda 23 May 2019

Council has been advised, and officers have observed, heavy vehicles travelling in a westerly direction in Kenilworth Street turning left (south-west) into narrow Paul Street. When turning left into Paul Street, the wheels of some vehicles mount the footpath outside 8 Paul Street on the south-eastern corner of the intersection. Residents of 8 Paul Street report heavy vehicles have impacted the building when turning, resulting in structural damage.

Figure 3. Intersection of Kenilworth Street and Paul Street, with 8 Paul Street on the left.

It is understood the drivers of the heavy vehicles are unlikely to have a destination in that area and may be following directions provided on their satellite navigation (satnav) devices showing alternate routes to take when traffic is heavy on Old South Head Road. The satnav devices would not be setup with information indicating road carriageway geometry and how difficult it will be to execute turns into the narrow streets. It is recommended that ‘No Right Turn Vehicles Over 6 m’ restriction signs be installed on Flood Street at the intersections of Kenilworth Street and Woodstock Street. Signs are recommended at the latter should drivers choose to use that road when unable to turn into Kenilworth Street.

4. Financial Information for Council’s Consideration

The cost associated with installing the required signs can be sourced from existing budgets.

Director: Emily Scott, Director, Community, Assets and Operations

COUNCIL OFFICER’S PROPOSAL:

That:

2. There be no blockage to through traffic on Sir Thomas Mitchell Road other than for short periods of time when manoeuvring vehicles into and out of the zone.

1. Executive Summary

Council has received an application from the builder at 1 Sir Thomas Mitchell Road, Bondi Beach, for the installation of a construction zone outside the site. Council will need to exercise its delegated function to implement the proposal.

Figure 1. Aerial image of 1 Sir Thomas Mitchell Road, Bondi Beach.

TC/V.05/19.05 Page 87 Waverley Traffic Committee Agenda 23 May 2019

2. Introduction/Background

In accordance with standard practice in Waverley Council, it is proposed that the construction zone be signposted ‘No Parking Council Authorised Vehicles Excepted’ for the approved construction hours under the DA consent. Council will then issue the applicant with a number of transferable permits to be used on their construction-related vehicles.

The Traffic Committee and Council generally only approve construction zones at the same length as the frontage, regardless of the location of driveways, for a minimum of thirteen weeks.

3. Technical Analysis

The site is located on the north-east corner of Sir Thomas Mitchell Road and Lamrock Place, Bondi Beach.

The existing parking restrictions outside the site are ‘2P Ticket 8 am–10 pm Permit Holders Excepted Area 8 (Angle parking)’. It is proposed to install a 17 m long construction zone outside the site, as shown in Figure 2 below. All construction vehicles will be required to park parallel to kerb within the designated construction zone.

TC/CV.01/19.05 Page 90 Waverley Traffic Committee Agenda 23 May 2019

1. Executive Summary

Council adopted the Waverley Bike Plan in 2013, which included the proposal to formalise an existing on- road bike route along Paul Street connecting the priority bike route between Bondi Junction and Bondi Beach and between Bondi Junction and Bronte Beach. Council has funding to undertake signage and line marking to complete these Bike Plan action items.

Council propose to mark PS-2 and BA-1 on-road pavement markers to formalise this mixed traffic route and install regulatory signage, path markings and pedestrian / bike lantern cover to legalise use of the signalised pedestrian crossing as part of this route. Bicycle warning signs and a new ramp from Paul Street North to the proposed shared path have been included to address potential conflict points.

2. Introduction/Background

The Waverley Bike Plan was adopted by Council in 2013. This Bike Plan included an existing on-road bike route along Paul Street which directly connects the Bondi Junction to Bondi Beach bike route along Old South Head Road with the Bondi Junction to Bronte Beach route being through Waverley Park. The Bike Plan 2013 included action items to formally mark Paul Street as mixed traffic and to install ramp and bike lanterns at the Bondi Road signalised pedestrian crossing.

Paul Street is a two-way street with one-way entry from Bondi Road and one-way exit at Old South Road. The main direction of traffic is from Bondi Road to Old South Head Road, but traffic entering Paul Street from a number of side streets can drive in the opposite direction. Bicycle travel similarly is in both directions, although unlike motor vehicles, bicycles can enter from Old South Head Road via the shared path.

Formally marking up Paul Street as mixed traffic requires the marking of a PS-2 bicycle logo and BA-1 directional arrow markings. These need to be installed in each direction at the departure side of each entrance to Paul Street. These reinforce the presence of bicycles and that travel is in both directions for bicycles and cars. Full details of the proposed changes are documented in Attachments 3, 4, 5, and 6.

3. Technical Analysis

The mixed traffic route is formalised by bike (PS-2) and directional (BA-1) markers to designate that bike riders are using the road and that there is no separate bike lane or path. This raises awareness of the potential presence of bike riders and that this will be used in two-way direction.

It is proposed to install combined pedestrian bicycle lantern covers for the existing pedestrian lanterns, rather than installing new bicycle lanterns.

To implement the bicycle or pedestrian/ bicycle lanterns at the signalised pedestrian crossing of Bondi Road, there is a requirement to upgrade the path between each of Paul Street North and Paul Street South and the signalised pedestrian crossing to shared path.

To address potential conflict issues with vehicles entering Paul Street North from Bondi Road, a new ramp from that road is proposed for bikes to more safely access the shared path. Bicycle Warning signs are also proposed near the Bondi Road entrance.

Details of the proposed signage, pavement markings and new ramp were published on a Have You Say webpage with an opportunity given to the community to respond to a survey (Attachment 1). All households in Paul Street received a letter notifying them of the proposed signage, road markings, new bicycle ramp, new shared path and new pedestrian/bike lantern covers at the signalised pedestrian crossing. The letter also invited feedback either through the online survey or directly to Council. The

TC/CV.01/19.05 Page 91 Waverley Traffic Committee Agenda 23 May 2019

Waverley Cycling Advisory Committee was also advised of the Have Your Say page. The online survey also includes the following responses:

• Select one response to the proposal as follows: o I support the proposal. o I object to the proposal. o I am neutral.

• Select as follows: o I live in this street. o I walk along this street. o I drive along this street. o I cycle along this street.

There were 12 responses received for this survey. Seven responses indicated they supported the proposal, three were opposed and one was neutral and a further one indicated support while stating concern only if there was a sudden influx of bike riders along this route. The responses including comments and the officer’s response are at Attachment 2.

Two of the responses that stated objection referred to the incident this year when a building at 8 Paul Street was impacted by a tanker. The issue of large vehicles using these quiet residential roads was subsequently the subject of a Notice of Motion which is being separately addressed.

A number of submissions requested further treatments such as converting to one-way traffic, including traffic calming devices, providing a separated bike lane, providing a contraflow lane between Old South Head Road and Ben Eden Street and better access at the Old South Head Road intersection. All are rejected for this project with comments as follows:

Suggestion Response 1 Convert road to one-way Not recommended as out of scope and also as two-way traffic on a narrow road acts as traffic calming and vehicles are generally slower and much safer for all road users including pedestrians and bike riders. 2 Install traffic calming Not recommended for this project as out of scope. Recommended as infrastructure part of a broader project for a 40 km/h speed limit area north of Bondi Road (Phase 2 of an existing project). Concerns at the intersection with Bondi Road have already addressed by provision of new bike ramp to the north of the narrowed entry from Bondi Road and bicycle warning signage. 3 Install separated bike Not recommended as it would require removal of a large number of lane car parking spaces. Separation is not required on local streets where speeds are generally lower than 40 km/h 4 Improve access at Old Not recommended as out of scope for this project but recommended South Head Road as part of the renewal of Old South Head Road shared path between Bondi Road and Bon Accord Avenue. 3 Install contra-flow bike Not recommended as out of scope for this project. Recommend to lane between Ben Eden review need for this proposal as part of access at Old South Head Street and Old South Road improvements. Head Road

Council officers met with the representative from the local precinct who had submitted one of the objections to this proposal. Council officers agree to a modification to extend the new ramp and thereby

Council will fund installation of signage, line marking and new ramp access from existing budgets.

Very often I have to pull to the side to let a vehicle pass going the other direction as there is only room for one car at any one time. If there is a sudden influx of bike riders along this stretch of Paul Street I fear that this would create an additional hazard and danger to both vehicle drivers and bike riders.

During the meeting a letter from Council to 'Paul Street Resident' dated 29th March 2019, This is an existing bike route and only minor improvements proposed. The signage and markings (ref:SF19/1570) was presented. It is disappointing that as Traffic Representative and also as a proposed are simply to raise awareness of the existing bike route.

Given the deep concerns raised at the precinct meeting it was suggested that any consideration or work for a bike path being installed in Paul Street should not proceed until a review of traffic conditions can be undertaken in 'The Area Of Concern'.

As I had not been informed of the proposed Paul Street bike path consultation, the meeting was not in a position to discuss the matter further, however on behalf of the Penkivil Precinct I formally object to the suggested shared path being installed between the signalised pedestrian crossing and Paul Street on the Northern side of Bondi Road for the following reasons:

REPORT TC/CV.02/19.05

Subject: Phone Parking in P Ticket Areas - Change to Parking Signs

TRIM No: A13/0530

Author: Colin Handsaker, Manager, Customer Parking

Director: Peter Monks, Director, Planning, Environment and Regulatory

COUNCIL OFFICER’S PROPOSAL:

That Council amends signage associated with ticket parking in all ‘P Ticket’ areas to include reference to phone parking.

1. Executive Summary

Following discussions with senior management, it has been recommended that a phone parking system be implemented in all P ticket areas.

As previously reported to Committee, to enable the implementation of a phone parking system, the current ticket parking signs need to be amended to include the word ‘phone’.

2. Introduction/Background

At the 18 April 2019 Waverley Traffic Committee meeting, the Committee approved the amendment of signs to facilitate the introduction of phone parking via the Pay Stay app supplied by Database Consultants Australia in Queen Elizabeth Drive, Park Drive north, Park Drive south and Bronte Cutting.

Following discussions with senior management, it has been recommended that the phone parking system be implemented in all P ticket areas.

As per the previous report to the Committee, in order to implement the phone parking system, the current ticket parking signs need to be amended to include the word ‘phone’.

3. Technical Analysis

In order to comply with RMS requirements regarding phone parking, the word ‘phone’ must be added to each parking ticket sign within the associated area.

Guidelines used:

• Transport Administration Act 1988. • RMS Delegation to Councils; Regulation of Traffic. • RMS Traffic Signs Database. • RMS Pay Parking Guidelines. • Road Rules 2014 (NSW).

TC/CV.02/19.05 Page 107 Waverley Traffic Committee Agenda 23 May 2019
