These are required so we can build new westbound Victoria Road traffic lanes. From 7 April there will be three key changes: Other changes from 21 April: • Clubb Street will be permanently closed at Victoria Road. • Callan Street will open and Toelle Street will be There will be no access to or from Victoria Road via Clubb temporarily closed at Victoria Road for up to 12 months. Street for motorists and pedestrians Once Toelle Street is reopened, Callan Street will close • The Terry Street signalised pedestrian crossing will be again for up to five months closed for up to three years. Existing crossings include • The remaining westbound Victoria Road shared path the pathway beneath the Iron Cove Bridge and the from Toelle to Byrnes streets will be closed for up to 18 Wellington Street intersection months. A temporary path will be available for pedestrians • Westbound Victoria Road shared path will be closed behind the construction site between Springside and Toelle streets for up to 18 • The westbound bus stop near Toelle Street (ID 203925) months. A temporary path will be available for pedestrians will be relocated further west just before the Iron Cove behind the construction site. Bridge. An additional city bound stop will be opened on the opposite side of Victoria Road. A temporary closure of Callan Street at Victoria Road was implemented on 23 March. The above changes are in addition to existing road closures and detours currently in place for the Balmain sewer relocation work. Changes include the closure of Moodie Street for up to six months at the northern end and three months at the southern end, and Yarra Avenue and Terry Street for four months. Please follow signage and allow extra time for your journey. We understand that this will be a significant change for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists and a factsheet has been developed which provides further information. The fact sheet has been letterbox dropped and can also be found on the WestConnex website in the Rozelle Interchange document library. The map below illustrates access routes for cyclists and pedestrians once all changes are implemented. 2 Iron Cove New and ongoing activities for the month Day/ night Location What’s involved work Victoria Road inside Preliminary work will progress to build the new westbound Victoria Road traffic lanes, and Day & night construction sites access ramp to the future tunnel entry and exit portals to be situated in the middle of work between Callan and Victoria Road. This work involves rock hammering, piling, compaction work and construction Byrnes streets of temporary and permanent support walls and structures. These activities create high noise as we hammer into rock and need to shake the piling rig free of material. You may also notice some vibrations from the compaction work. High noise work will be carried out between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday, 8am to 1pm Saturday, with regular respite periods. Other associated preliminary work includes drainage and water adjustment work. This involves noisy work such as cutting through road pavement, trenching and reinstating work areas. Several important temporary and permanent road closures and access changes will be implemented in April. These changes are explained in greater detail on page 2. Victoria Road at We’re building a temporary westbound bus bay and realigning the surrounding shared Day & night Byrnes Street and path on Victoria Road adjacent to Byrnes Street. This work involves removal of existing work the Iron Cove Bridge pavement and barriers on the shared user path at Iron Cove Bridge and the Bay Run. Access will be maintained throughout the work with traffic control in place. We’re also installing new drainage pipes and pits at Byrnes Street. Work involves road sawing and hammering and is expected to generate high noise. Toelle, Callan and Work to install new street lighting and power poles will commence within our sites and local Day & night Springside streets streets between Byrnes and Springside streets to replace the current streetlights along Victoria work Road. Some tree trimming will be required as part of this work. Power outages are associated with this work. Further information about any planned outages will be provided once they are confirmed. The installation of ground monitoring equipment will require us to return to each location Springside Street Day work twice. Initially to investigate the location of utilities in the ground and then to install the monitoring equipment. This work is generally low impact and involves using a drill rig mounted on the back of a truck to bore into the ground, install the equipment and reinstate the work area. We’ll be starting work to install Intelligent Transport Systems on Victoria Road in Victoria Road Day & night Drummoyne, east of the Iron Cove Bridge. ITS include variable message signs (VMS), traffic (Drummoyne) work signals systems, Closed Circuit Televisions (CCTV) and speed cameras. These systems will be installed to monitor and improve traffic flows, provide updated traffic information to motorists and enhance motorist safety. The first piece of work involves investigation work to identify the location of underground services. We'll be required to return to these locations in the coming months to install the physical infrastructure. Ongoing major activities Balmain sewer Excavation and long-term street closures for the Balmain sewer relocation continue in April. Day work relocation work on We’ll keep you updated on the progress of this work.

  • AN OVERVIEW of the CITY WEST CYCLE-LINK Prepared By: Ecotransit Sydney Date: 1 June 2010 Authorised by the Executive Committee O
    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.

  • Spatial and Temporal Variability of Particulate Trace Metals in Port Jackson Estuary, Australia
    Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science (2001) 53, 63–77 doi:10.1006/ecss.2001.0792, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on Spatial and Temporal Variability of Particulate Trace Metals in Port Jackson Estuary, Australia V. Hatjea,c, G. F. Bircha and D. M. Hillb aEnvironmental Geology Group, University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia bEnvironment Division, ANSTO, Lucas Heights, NSW 2234, Australia Received 27 June 2000 and accepted in revised form 20 February 2001 Major elements (Al, Ca, Fe and Mn) and trace elements (Cu, Cr, Pb, Zn and Ni) in operationally defined available and total particulate phases have been determined along an axial transect of the Port Jackson Estuary during twelve surveys between 1998 and 1999. Salinity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and suspended particulate material (SPM) were also measured. Temporal and spatial variability were tested by two-factor analysis of variance. Throughout the estuary Zn and Ni exhibited a uniform distribution. It is suggested that the low reactivity of these elements may be a result of the water physicochemistry, low SPM concentrations and long residence time in the Port Jackson Estuary. Anthropogenic sources of Zn and Ni are widespread in the Port Jackson catchment, and also contribute to the spatial distribution observed in the estuary. The distributions of particulate Cu and Pb are significantly affected by anthropogenic inputs, particularly, from the southern embayments in the lower estuary. It is suggested that the increase of Cu and Pb seaward is also related to sorption of these elements on Fe-Mn oxides. Mixing, however, can largely account for the distribution of Cr, which was the only element that presented significant decrease in concentration with increasing salinity.

  • 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.
