1. Introduction

1.1 Background

The Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy for the North Sydney Local Government Area (LGA), identified the need to develop Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) action plans. These plans provide specific traffic and parking measures to maintain and improve traffic access and parking. There are seven LATM zones within the North Sydney LGA with three located on the west of the Warringah Freeway and four to the east, as seen in Figure 1.1.

Source: Adapted from Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy (2015)

Figure 1.1: LATM Zone Overview Map

Bitzios Consulting was commissioned by North Sydney Council to undertake an analysis of the four LATM zones to the east of the Warringah Freeway, including the following suburbs:

Cammeray (majority); Cremorne; Cremorne Point; Kirribilli; Kurraba Point; Neutral Bay; and North Sydney (partly).

TAPAS Action Plan Zone 6  

North Sydney Council   Page 2  

This report focuses on LATM Zone 6, located in the eastern section of the North Sydney LGA. LATM Zone 6 is predominately comprised of Neutral Bay (majority) with areas of Cremorne (partial) Cremorne Point, Kurraba Point and North Sydney (partial). The zone is generally bounded by:

the Warringah Freeway to the west; Falcon Street and Military Road between Warringah Freeway and Glover Street to the north; Spofforth Street between Military Road and Boyle Street to the east; the coastline and suburb borders of Cremorne Point, Kurraba Point and Neutral Bay from Hunts

Lookout to Clark Road to the south; and Clark Road and High Street to the south-west.

The extent of LATM Zone 6 is shown below in Figure 1.2.

2.1 ScopeandMethodology

This study has been divided into the following key components:

review of LATM Zone 6 context and assessment of current traffic and transport issues; assessment of emerging issues and expected developments, modal shifts and changes in traffic and

parking demands in LATM Zone 6; summarising Council’s current list of traffic actions for LATM Zone 6; identification of additional traffic actions for LATM Zone 6 drawn from detailed analysis of principal-

supplied data and site inspections; development of a prioritised list of traffic actions for LATM Zone 6; and review of key on-street parking areas for LATM Zone 6, and development of a priority list for detailed

parking surveys.

The study relies upon data provided by North Sydney Council in conjunction with site investigations. Where data has not been available, potential traffic issues and modal conflict issues have been identified based on site observations and public feedback submissions by residents.

2.2 StudyObjectives

2.2.1 2013‐2023NorthSydneyCommunityStrategicPlan(2013)

The North Sydney Community Strategic Plan was developed by Council in consultation with the community of North Sydney LGA. This plan was revised from the identified priorities and strategies in 2009 for North Sydney to cover a 10-year horizon from 2013 to 2023.

The plan is a broad strategy for the whole North Sydney LGA and does not identify by individual wards. To provide unified vision across the whole North Sydney, the plan identified five key directions:

Direction 1 – Our Living Environment; Direction 2 – Our Built Environment; Direction 3 – Our Economic Vitality; Direction 4 – Our Social Vitality; and Direction 5 – Our Civic Leadership.

These key directions clearly categorise the community strategic goals for North Sydney by identifying the desired outcomes and the strategies in achieving these outcomes. The plan also identifies indicators, to measure the progress of the strategies. The relevant objectives from the CSP are:

1.2 Quality urban greenspaces; 2.1 Infrastructure, assets and facilities that meet community needs; 2.3 Vibrant, connected and well maintained streetscapes and villages that build a sense of community; 2.5 Sustainable transport is encouraged; 2.6 Improved traffic management; 2.7 Improved parking options and supply; 4.7 Community is active and healthy; and 4.9 Enhanced community safety and accessibility.

2.2.2 NorthSydneyIntegratedTrafficandParkingStrategy(2015)

The North Sydney Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy was developed to address the identified traffic and parking issues and to rationalise the parking and traffic controls created by a range of factors, such as:

increase in car usage by the existing population; increase in the number of workers and visitors to the area; and increase in residential and commercial development in and around the

LGA.

The Strategy proposed to manage traffic and parking matters within the LGA is based on seven (7) LATM Zones. No changes to the existing 33 resident parking areas are proposed under the adopted Strategy, however; parking restrictions within each of the (7) LATM Zones will be reviewed. It also introduces the concept of a scoring tool to assess the existing traffic and parking conditions. For traffic, cycling and pedestrian facilities the scoring considers a range of criteria including safety, traffic volumes, speed, pedestrian and cyclist volumes, activity generators, parking occupancy, parking turnover and alignment with the objectives of Council's Community Strategic Plan. For parking facilities, the methodology considers the existing parking supply, the surrounding land uses that generate parking demand, and occupancy and turnover rates, which are used to determine the most appropriate controls to apply to the existing parking supply to manage parking demand and reduce transfer of parking demand to surrounding streets within an area.

The North Sydney Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy was adopted by Council in May 2015.

2.2.3 NorthSydneyIntegratedCyclingStrategy(2014)

The North Sydney Integrated Cycling Strategy aims to provide a high quality built environment conducive to walking and cycling and to provide safe, accessible and connected walking and cycling connections along key strategic links. The strategy further aims to promote cycling as a sustainable transport option for North Sydney commuters.

The strategy assessed the existing cycling network and identified the issues, and subsequently identified upgrades required to mitigate the issues in unison with the North Sydney Community Strategy Plan.

Issues identified included:

incomplete cycling network connections; some difficult sections (e.g. steep grades) within the defined cycling routes; inconsistent and insufficient bicycle route signage; insufficient bicycle parking facilities; and the lack of safety associated with cyclists sharing road space with traffic.

The Integrated Cycling Strategy outlines five routes aimed at increasing the safety and connectivity of cycling infrastructure within the North Sydney LGA. Two key proposed routes were identified within LATM Zone 6 to increase the safety and connectivity of the cycling network of North Sydney. Figure 2.1 shows the proposed routes, Route 3 connecting Neutral Bay to Mosman and Route 5 connecting North Sydney to Cremorne.

Route 3 begins at the intersection of Spofforth Street and Rangers Road following Rangers Road before splitting to either follow Rangers Road onto Yeo Road or use Harrison Street and Wycombe Road to access Yeo Street. The route continues along the length of Yeo Street before turning into Bent Street and using Winter Avenue to access Alfred Street before crossing the Warringah Freeway.

Route 5 begins at the intersection of Murdoch Street and Rangers Road before heading South onto Murdoch Street, using Bannerman Street which turns into Harriette Street to access Wycombe Road. The route travels south on Wycombe Road before using Kurruba Road to travel west before turning onto Clark Road. Clark Road, which then turns into Broughton Street, is used to access Milsons Point Station with an underpass to the western side of the Bradfield Highway.

The strategy also included an implementation plan with cost estimates, timelines, and processes for stakeholder involvement in taking these routes forward.

Where there are no formal facilities for cyclists, Council will consider the needs of cyclists when designing any new traffic or pedestrian facilities.

The North Sydney Integrated Cycling Strategy was adopted by Council in July 2014.

2.2.4 DraftNorthSydneyTransportStrategy(2017)

The Draft North Sydney Transport Strategy (NSTS) is proposed as Council’s guiding document for the delivery of its transport planning and management functions. This includes strategic transport planning, transport advocacy and the delivery of local transport projects.

The NSTS builds on the directions, outcomes and strategies detailed in North Sydney’s Community Strategic Plan 2013-23 (CSP) and Ecologically Sustainable Development Best Practice Project 2014 (ESD) to create an over-arching transport planning and management framework for the whole of Council.

The Draft North Sydney Transport Strategy is scheduled for public exhibition in July 2017 and adoption by Council in late 2017.

2.2.5 PublicDomainStyleManualandDesignCodes(2016)

The North Sydney Public Domain Style Manual and Design Codes were developed, outlining the approaches to implement the public domain infrastructure improvements in North Sydney. The North Sydney LGA was divided into eight different precincts types, with each precinct having a style and design guide to allow consistency and unison across the whole LGA. The North Sydney LGA precincts are shown in Figure 2.2.

The North Sydney Public Domain Style Manual and Design Codes were adopted by Council in November 2014 and amended in 2016.

3.2 LandUses

3.2.1 NorthSydneyLocalEnvironmentalPlan(2013)

The North Sydney Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2013 aims to make local environmental planning provisions for land in North Sydney in accordance with the relevant standard environmental planning instrument under section 33A of the Act. It aims to promote development appropriate to its context and enhance the amenity of the North Sydney community and environment. Figure 3.2 shows the Land Use Zoning in the LATM Zone 6 area.

A large portion of the study area is defined as “Low Density Residential” with sections of “Medium Density Residential”, “High Density Residential”, “Mixed Use”, “Public Recreation”, “Infrastructure and Environmental Conservation”. Medium and High Density developments are found predominantly along the water front in Kurraba Point, along Military Road, to the east of the Warringah Freeway and off Ben Boyd Road, Wycombe Street, Spofforth Street, Rangers Road, Harrison Street and Yeo Street. “Mixed Use Development” dominates the land use on the southern side of Military Road with a section of “High Density Residential” near Warringah Freeway, and to the east of Rangers Road. “Public Recreation” areas are located mainly near the water front in Kurraba Point and Cremorne Point.

The LEP also dictates the heritage items and conservation areas. These are shown in Figure 3.3.

Four sections of conservation area existing in LATM Zone 6, these zones are the Whaling Road Conservation Area (Area CA21), Cremorne Conservation Area (CA03), Cremorne Point Conservation Area (CA06) and Kurraba Point Conservation Area (CA16). A large number of heritage items are also contained in the western and central section of LATM Zone 6 including:

educational facilitates; religious establishments; waterfront reserve; and a range of other properties.

3.2.2 NorthSydneyDevelopmentControlPlan(2013)

The North Sydney Development Control Plan (DCP) 2013 aims to ensure that the development positively contributes to the quality of the natural and built environments as well as the quality of the site and its context. The DCP aims to ensure that the objectives of Council’s 2020 Vision – North Sydney Community Strategic Plan are achieved.

The DCP consists of three parts:

Part A – General Requirements (The general requirement of information required prior to an application lodgement);

Part B – Development Controls (The development controls to be complied with prior to approval); and

Part C – Area Character Statement (Additional controls to be complied with for specific area).

LATM Zone 6 is located across Section 5: North Cremorne Planning Area and Associated Localities, Section 6: South Cremorne Planning Area and Section 7 Neutral Bay Planning Area. The Planning Areas are divided into smaller localities based on the corresponding land use, such as commercial areas, town centres, residential areas, and heritage conservation areas. The localities contained within LATM Zone 6 include:

Cremorne Town Centre (partial); Neutral Bay Town Centre partial); Military Road Island Neighbourhood; Murdoch Neighbourhood; Forsyth Neighbourhood; Kurraba Point South Neighbourhood; Neutral Neighbourhood; Whaling Road Conservation Area; Cremorne Point Conservation Area; Cremorne Conservation Area; and Montague Road Conservation Area.

The Planning Areas for LATM Zone 6 are shown in Figure 3.4.

3.3 RoadNetwork

3.3.1 RoadHierarchy

The Warringah Freeway borders the western side of the study area. Military Road is the primary east-west road, carrying traffic from Manly and the Northern Beaches towards Sydney and North Sydney.

Kurraba Road - Wycombe Road - Bannerman Street provides an alternative east-west connection from the Mosman area and further afield for traffic bypassing Military Road, when congested. Belgrave Street is also acts as an alternate route to the congested Military Road, carrying a reasonably high proportion of through traffic in peak periods.

Bent Street, Ben Boyd Road, Wycombe Road, Murdoch Street, and Spofforth Street are the primary north-south connections through the study area, with Ben Boyd Road particularly used by through traffic, local traffic, cyclists, and buses.

Due to topographical constraints, there are many other local “short cut” roads that weave their way through the area, some with steep grades and narrow pavement formations. An overview of the road hierarchy is shown in Figure 3.5. All following maps can be found in Appendix A.

3.3.3 SpeedData

Local roads in within LATM Zone 6 are posted at a speed limit of 50 km/h and Military Road is posted at 60km/h. 40 km/h School Zones are in operation between 8:00am-9:30am and 2:30pm-4:00pm on school days on selected sections of the following roads, namely:

Allister Street; Ben Boyd Road; Bydown Street; Montpelier Street; Murdoch Street; Rangers Road; and Yeo Street.

Historical speed data from 2011 to 2016 was analysed by calculating the “weighted average” of the hourly 85th percentile speed relative to the hourly traffic volumes. The results indicate the majority of locations, the surveyed 85th percentile speeds are below the respective posted speed limit. The location and results of the speed surveys are summarised in Table 3.2.

3.3.4 CrashData

Crash data was summarised for a five- year period from 2011 to 2015. Figure 3.6 shows a ‘heat map’ distribution of crashes within LATM Zone 6 for this time period, with the Warringah Freeway omitted from analysis. Clustering can be seen along Military Road, and connecting streets. The roads identified to experience the most crashes are:

Ben Boyd Road; Military Road (state road); Murdoch Street; Spofforth Street; and Wycombe Road.

Figure 3.7 shows the severity of crashes within LATM Zone 6 by location, noting that the Warringah Freeway has been excluded from the analysis. The data shows that there were two (2) fatal crashes within LATM Zone 6 between 2011 and 2015

The crash data summary presented below in Table 3.3 shows:

219 crashes were reported within the five-year period (2011-2015), with an average rate of 44 crashes a year within LATM Zone 6;

around 15% of crashes occurred during wet road conditions; of all reported crashes, there were 20 (9%) involving pedestrians; approximately 35% of the crashes were recorded along Military Road; 49% of the crashes reported involved casualties; around 42% of crashes occurred during AM (6am-9am) and PM (4pm-7pm) commuter traffic; and 26% of crashes occurred on the weekend.

Severity Total Crashes Wet Condition Pedestrian

Tow Away 112 19% 0

Injury 105 9% 20

Fatal 2 0% 0

Total 219 - 20

Crashes along council roads show clusters around key intersections along Military Road, Murdoch Street, Ben Boyd Road, and Spofforth Street, as can be seen in Figure 3.6 and Figure 3.7. It can be noted that the majority of recorded crashes occurred in and around intersections. Two fatal crashes occurred in the five year period, the relevant details are:

Crash #1 – 01/05/2014 occurred at the intersection of Military Road and Ben Boyd Road when a cyclist hit a bus; and

Crash #2 – 06/05/2015 occurred 100m south of Falcon Street on Merlin Street when a car hit a parked light truck.

Based on the crash data, key locations subject to more detailed analysis in LATM Zone 6 are Yeo Street, Murdoch Street, Kurraba Road, and Ben Boyd Road.

Yeo Street and Ben Boyd Road has 20 recorded crashed between 2011 and 2015. 11 occurred along Ben Boyd Road at or approaching Yeo Street. 6 involved the vehicle leaving the road and colliding with an object or parked car. 3 crashes involved a pedestrian. Several public feedback submissions raised concerns about parking causing narrow travel lanes, and for pedestrian safety along these subject roads.

Murdoch Street in the approach to Rangers Road has had 9 crashes during the study period. Five of these crashes involved an injury. There doesn’t appear to be any correlations between the crashes, however public feedback submissions show several concerns with intersection safety along this section of Murdoch Road particularly at Rangers Road.

Of the six crashes on Ben Boyd Road near Phillips Street three involved hitting a parked car. Four involved injuries. Public feedback submissions have raised concerns with intersection safety at this location.

Five crashes occurred between 2011 and 2015 on Kurraba Road near Hayes Street. These crashes occurred near the bend in Kurraba Road, with two crashes involving the vehicle leaving the road on the bend. Two of the crashes involved vehicles travelling in the same direction. Four of the crashes involved an injury to an occupant. Public feedback submissions show concerns for cyclist safety at this location on Kurraba Road, however, only one crash involved a cyclist.

Military Road has approximately 40% of all crashes that are within LATM Zones 5 and 6 occur on Military Road. Clusters of crashes can be seen at the western end of Military Road (57 crashes), near the Warringah Freeway, at the intersection with Ben Boyd Road (31 crashes), west of the intersection with Wycombe Road (23 crashes), the intersection of Rangers Road (14 crashes), and the intersection with Murdoch Street (25 crashes).

3.4.1 BusRoutesandBusStops

Bus services run mainly along Military Road, with local bus routes travelling along Yeo Street, Ben Boyd Road, Rawson Street and Milson Road, Murdoch Street, Florence Street, Spofforth Street, and Wycombe Road. Two local bus routes operate through the study area. A map of the local bus routes are shown in Figure 3.8. Military Road carries many services from northern Sydney, connecting suburbs north of the study area, to North Sydney and the CBD.

3.4.2 FerryRoutesandFerryStops

LATM Zone 6 borders Sydney Harbour at Neutral Bay and Mosman Bay. The study area has four ferry wharfs as seen in Figure 3.8, which are:

Neutral Bay Wharf; Kurraba Point Wharf; Cremorne Point Wharf; and Old Cremorne Wharf.

These wharfs provide access to and from Circular Quay, allowing access to Sydney CBD.

3.5 WalkingNetwork

North Sydney Council has provided a walking network throughout LATM 6 which allows pedestrians to access various public transport facilities as well as historic sites. North Sydney Council is working to improve pedestrian accessibility and make North Sydney more ‘walkable’. The Community Strategic Plan identified needs for improvements for pedestrian safety and sustainable transport. Further, pedestrian and cycle paths produced some of the highest dissatisfaction ratings amongst services for residents based on public feedback. Any traffic and parking strategies proposed as part of this study will consider the impacts to pedestrians.

3.6 CycleNetwork

North Sydney Council published a recommended cycling routes map throughout the study area, North Sydney LGA and neighbouring LGAs of northern Sydney. An extract of the routes within the study area is shown in Figure 3.9.

Page 34: P2945.002R North Sydney LATM Action Plan Zone 6 Final · 2.2.4 Draft North Sydney Transport Strategy (2017) 7 2.2.5 Public Domain Style Manual and Design Codes (2016) 7 3. Zone Characteristics

Figure 3.9: Existing Cycle Routes

There are no off-road bicycle routes or shared path routes within the study area, primarily due to road section width constraints and topography constraints, placing heavy reliance on on-road facilities. On-road marked bike routes weave their way from Eaton Street to Phillips Street and either divert onto Wycombe Road to join Yeo Street, or continue eastwards towards Murdoch Street/Milsons Road via Bannerman Street. Milson Road/Murdoch Street provides a north south connection for Cremorne Point to Yeo Street and the northern part of the study area.

Unmarked cycling routes include Clark Road and Kurraba Road, weaving their way from High Street eastward to Shellcove Road. Difficult grades have been identified on Bent Street up to Yeo Street, Spruson Street up to Phillips Street, Wycombe Road near Raymond Street and Bannerman Street up to Shellcove Road.

Cyclists travelling between Rangers Road and Alfred Street North experience difficulties when travelling in each direction at different locations. Westbound cyclists are faced with a “No Left Turn” to Harrison Street from Rangers Road on the prescribed cycling route. Cyclists must either mount the footpath or perform an illegal left turn through a narrow access to continue of Harrison Street. Eastbound cyclists on Winters Avenue from Alfred Street North to Bent Street travel in a cycling lane which runs against the one-way traffic movement without the safety of separation. Additionally, Bent Street poses a steep/difficult gradient for eastbound cyclists with no cycling infrastructure and a travel direction also against the one-way direction of travel for vehicles.

3.7 ParkingDemands

On-street parking within North Sydney Council is split into 33 residential parking areas located across the LGA. LATM Zone 6 comprises three areas as shown in Figure 3.10 and listed below:

Area 1; Area 28; Area 29; Area 30; Area 31; Area 32; and Area 33.

The North Sydney Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy designated each of the 33 residential parking areas into three categories, described as follows:

High Demand; Medium Demand; and Low Demand.

LATM Zone 6 has one “High Demand” category for parking area, Area 1, three “Medium Demand” areas, and three “Low Demand” areas. These areas roughly correlate with facilities provided within Area 1 with it being in close proximity to North Sydney CBD, and Areas 28 and 29 being adjacent to Military Road and Neutral Bay Village.

3.8 PublicConsultationData

An extensive public consultation engagement was undertaken by Council in 2016 to inform transport, 

traffic, and parking projects. The consultation methods included surveys, drop‐in sessions and 

workshops and culminated in a comprehensive dataset of issues and suggested improvements 

pertaining to transport, traffic, and parking. The consultation data was analysed to establish key traffic 

and parking issues/suggestions for LATM Zone 6 as raised by the public. 

For LATM Zone 6, Council received 1,894 submissions from 621 respondents. Of those submissions there 

were 1,391 specific traffic and transport related issues raised. Of those issues, 31% were related to 

traffic generally, 27% were related to parking, 15% were related to walking, 11% were related to buses 

and 8% were related to cycling. The remaining 7% of issues were related to public transport, car share 

and specific developments. 

 

Figure 3.11: Summary of Issues raised during Public Consultation – LATM Zone 6

While the dataset was filtered by consultants, KJA using predefined themes, the data required further processing to identify key trends in issues and suggestions for further investigation. A broad set of issue descriptors was defined and assigned to each data entry to narrow-down the data and establish focus areas. The descriptors are detailed in Table 3.4.

3.9 KeyDevelopments/TrafficGenerators

3.9.1 TravelPatterns(JTW)

Journey to Work (JTW) travel patterns were assessed for an area representative of LATM Zone 6 to evaluate mode share and travel trends. The area of assessment is shown in Figure 3.14. The data represents trips which originate and end in LATM Zone 6, i.e. it does not consider trips which pass through it.

Source: BTS JTW Explorer Interactive Map

Figure 3.14: Journey to Work Assessment

The travel patterns for residents in LATM Zone 6 taken from the year 2011 “Journey to Work” (JTW) data from the Bureau of Transport Statistics (and from the ABS) shows that:

11,149 workers lived in LATM Zone 6, with 2,830 who worked within LATM Zone 6; the majority (40%) of JTW trips have a destination in the CBD; 28% of JTW trips remain within the North Sydney-Mosman area; 9% of JTW trips are towards the Chatswood-Lane Cove area; and the majority (46%) of workers within LATM Zone 6 travel from North Sydney-Mosman with a further 6%

workers travelling from Warringah and Chatswood-Lane Cove.

As shown in Figure 3.15, most trips from the study area are made by private vehicles (vehicle driver or vehicle passenger) with 43% of the trips. Public Transport is the next highest mode share with 42% of all trips,

Figure 3.15: Journey to Work Travel Patterns – From LATM Zone 6

Figure 3.16 shows the overall transportation mode shares for workers in LATM Zone 6 (for all types of trips). Car usage is the most prevalent travel type with 57%, including vehicle passengers. Public transport makes up 28% of the mode share, with 11% walking to work. Cycling is not a major mode of transport from LATM Zone 6 with less than 4% of trips potentially made by bicycle.

3.9.2 KeyTripGenerators

North Sydney Council defined key trip generators in four categories for the purpose of this study. The categories and the included features are:

Category 1 – Education; - Primary School; - High School; and - University/Tertiary Education.

Category 2 – Health and Care; - Retirement Village; - Aged Care Facility; and - Hospital.

Page 44: P2945.002R North Sydney LATM Action Plan Zone 6 Final · 2.2.4 Draft North Sydney Transport Strategy (2017) 7 2.2.5 Public Domain Style Manual and Design Codes (2016) 7 3. Zone Characteristics

TAPAS Action Plan Zone 6  

North Sydney Council   Page 39  

Category 3 – Parks; - Major Parks; and - Minor Parks.

Category 4 – Shopping; - Major Shopping; and - Minor Shopping.

Key trip generators are located on Military Road, and adjacent local streets, with extensive commercial spaces presenting a range of shopping opportunities and high density residential developments.

Schools are located to the north of the study area, with schools on Ben Boyd Road (Neutral Bay Public School), Yeo Street (Neutral Bay Public School) and Allister Street (Redlands Junior Campus and SCECGS). Aged care facilities are located in the south on the corner of Manns Avenue and Hayes Street to the north on the corner of Rangers Road and Military Road, with the Northside Cremorne Clinic (hospital) found on Harrison Street. Several parks are located within LATM 6 providing recreational areas with the majority located to the west of the study area and some scattered along the waterfront reserves.

Important pedestrian generators considered for the impact of the LATM schemes are shown in Figure 3.17.

3.9.3 DevelopmentTrafficOverlayAnalysis

A review of known developments either under consideration or approved between 2001 and January 2017 was undertaken. It should be noted that subsequent developments have not been considered as part of this review, however impact assessments are undertaken for individual DAs during the development application stage. A total of 84 development proposes have been approved for LATM Zone 6, comprising the following land uses:

Dwelling House; Multi-Dwelling House; and Residential Flat Buildings.

A total of 473 new dwellings have been approved across LATM Zone 6 with a maximum of 64 approved in a single location at 203 Military Road, Neutral Bay. Table 3.5 and Table 3.6 show the maximum parking rate and traffic generation per development type as per North Sydney Development Control Plan (2013) and the RMS Guide to Traffic Generating Developments (2002). It is important to note that detailed analysis and modelling was not possible as the respective Traffic Impact Assessments for each development were not made available by Council; however, this analysis is expected to have been completed as part of the Development Application process.

A small cluster of developments can be seen near Rangers Road and Yeo Street. With the highest parking rate being between 41-50 spaces required, along Rangers road. It is expected that these required parking facilities will be provided within the development for resident and any unexpected overspill will be accommodated with local on street parking, the “Medium Demand” area in which this cluster is located may mean that there are limitations to availability of on street parking in this location. The remaining developments are not expected to result in any substantial impact on parking demand due to their low-scale and dispersed nature, as seen in Figure 3.18.

The traffic generation from the cluster near Rangers Road and Yeo Street has an estimated maximum traffic generation in the order of 21-30 trips per peak hour. The developments have access directly onto Rangers Road and Yeo Street which both act as collector roads allow for traffic to move away from local roads and onto Military Road which is classified as a “State” road and serves as a through traffic carrying function for the area. The remaining developments will have minimum impact on local road as it is expected that the developments will either be replacing existing dwellings of similar size or, as seen Figure 3.19, are only small traffic generators and will not have an adverse effect on the capacity of the surrounding local road network.

3.9.4 IssuesandNeedsSummary

The proposed developments reviewed in this study are not expected to have a substantial impact on the local traffic management schemes.

3.10 StateGovernmentProjects

The New South Wales Government is considering proposals to improve the bus services from the Northern Beaches servicing the Sydney CBD through the implementation of a new “B-line bus services”. While the proposals are still being considered (and are therefore subject to change), the current planning indicates services running from Sydney’s Northern Beaches along Military Road, through the study area, and on to the Sydney CBD. The B-line project will see buses running every five minutes during morning and afternoon peak periods and every 10 minutes during in off-peak times. B-line bus stops are proposed to be installed in Neutral Bay along Military Road at Wycombe Road westbound and Young Street eastbound. Several other changes are proposed to occur along Military Road, as seen in Figure 3.20, which include:

No Left Turn from Military Road at Ben Boyd Road northbound; No Right Turn from Ben Boyd Road at Military Road westbound; No Left Turn from Ben Boyd Road at Military Road westbound; No Right Turn from Murdoch Street at Military Road eastbound during morning peak; No Left Turn from Cabramatta Road at Military Road westbound; Extended city-bound tidal flow conditions during morning peak; and Some minor road widening.

5. DetailedDataAnalysis

5.1 SectionOutline

Section 3 broadly summarised the crash data, traffic speed data, traffic volume data and public feedback data for LATM Zone 6. This section analyses these four key datasets in finer detail to narrow-down focus areas and associated traffic and parking issues within LATM Zone 6 to identify any further traffic issues not already identified by Council. The detailed analysis culminates in a list of defined issues by location to be investigated and diagnosed at a fundamental level such that fit for purpose remedial solutions can be developed for the action plans. The proposed solutions supplement Council’s current list of traffic actions.

5.2 CrashData

Crash data is based on the reported crashes and details characteristics about the crash type, location, speed, severity, and a range of factors which can cause crashes including weather, time of day, time of year and influence of alcohol.

The crash data, between 2011 and 2016 was mapped in ArcMap with heat maps produced firstly to highlight ‘hot spots’ and problematic areas where a higher density of crash rates was recorded. Data outside of high density clusters or fatal crash locations were removed to allow for a detailed assessment of the remaining data.

Crash clusters were categorised based on crash type at each location to identify trends, namely by recurrence of same crash types. Where a majority or relatively significant quantity of crashes (i.e. at least three of the same crash types over the five-year period) are recorded at one location and are similar in nature (i.e. same DCA code, or DCA code series) it can highlight a deficiency in road design, intersection operation or local area traffic management (LATM). By identifying any specific trends and understanding possible contributing factors, a solution to treat the specific crash types can be devised.

The key crash trends for LATM Zone 6 are summarised in Table 5.1.

Table 5.1: Detailed Crash Trends – LATM Zone 6

Location Crash Type Frequency Vehicle Travel Direction

Spofforth Street / Holt Avenue DCA Code 101 (thru-thru) 8 West (vehicle 1) / north (vehicle 2)

5.3 TrafficSpeed

Traffic speed data was provided for various locations in the North Sydney LGA by Council for a 20-year period between 1996 and 2015. Only data for the five-year period from 2011 to 2015 was used to ensure data maintained relevant to the existing traffic conditions.

This assessment identified locations where speeds of traffic passing through the survey location were in excessive of the speed limit. The 85th percentile speed was taken as the indicative speed of vehicles and represents the speed that 85% of vehicles do not exceed. All locations where the 85th percentile speed remained below the posted speed limit were not considered for further assessment.

Locations identified as having an 85th percentile speed exceeding the posted speed were investigated on an individual basis. The characteristics of the roadway, conditions of the road surface, sight distance, adjacent land use and nearby cross roads will be considered when investigating why vehicles were travelling in excess of the posted speed limit regularly and to find a suitable measure to implement to calm traffic and reduce the 85th percentile speed below the posted speed limit.

Ten roads were found to have 85th percentile speeds in excess of the posted speed limit, which summarised in Table 5.2. Maps illustrating the locations are provided in Appendix B.

As part of a speed management review in 2015, North Sydney Council resolved to consider 40km/h Local Traffic Area speed limit projects as part of the development of all LATM studies, and that works undertaken as part of the LATM program adopt a design speed of 40km/h. Instances where the 85th percentile speed exceeded 40km/h are summarised in Table 5.2.

5.4 TrafficVolumes

Council provided traffic volume survey data for the by North Sydney Council for a 20-year period between 1996 and 2016. Data for the period from 2011 to 2016 was used to ensure data remained relevant to the existing traffic conditions.

The definition of the impact on residential/environmental amenity by varying levels of traffic flow is extremely complex. Perceptions of impact vary greatly from person to person. Traffic flows that one person may find perfectly acceptable may be considered excessive by another. Impact is affected by the nature of the street and the area in which it is located, its width, building setbacks, grades, etc. as well as by the speed of traffic and the mix of cars and heavy vehicles

This assessment identified locations where the AADT exceeded the respective road classification AADT threshold as outlined in the North Sydney Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy (2015). The desired AADT thresholds, connections and speed limits are shown in Figure 5.1.

5.5 PublicConsultation

In depth analysis of the consultation data (referred to in Section 3) was undertaken to develop a comprehensive action plan for Council’s implementation.

Although the majority of feedback is related to traffic and transport management in the area generally, the responsibility for some of the issues falls outside of Council’s control. This includes matters relating to public transport and roads which are managed by the Roads and Maritime Services. Whilst Council does not have control over this infrastructure, they form an important role in the overall traffic and transport schemes for the area. Accordingly, these matters will be referred to the relevant authority for their attention. A summary of the issues raised is provided below.

The LATM Zone 6 Action Plan is provided in Appendix C.

TransportforNSW

There were 216 issues raised with respect to public transport in LATM Zone 6. 90 (41%) of these responses related to timetables for various modes of public transport. The most recurring of these requests was that the frequency of bus services. A summary of the issues raised and the raw feedback will be forwarded to Transport for NSW for their attention (Appendix D).

CyclingStrategy

As noted previously, 8% of issues raised related to cycling. This included a range of issues such as cycling safety and connectivity, as well as perceived safety of other road users due to the lack of separated cycling infrastructure. Council has already developed and is in the process of implementing the North Sydney Integrated Cycling Strategy, some of the issues raised have already been addressed as part of the cycling strategy and some are new matters that require further action. Many of the submissions justify the work that Council has already planned and highlight the need for more dedicated cycling infrastructure. The items raised are listed in the LATM Zone 6 Action Plan.

In addition, all future road facilities will be designed with cyclists in mind to ensure they do not create additional hazards or pinch points.

RoadSafetyEducation

There were a small number of submissions (4) concerned with a lack of understanding of the road rules amongst the general community. Council already produces a range of road safety campaigns targeted towards specific road users about key road safety messages which have been developed based on local crash data, collaboration with local Police and the RMS. The feedback received during the LATM consultation phase can also be used to inform and enhance these campaigns. These actions have been included in the LATM Zone 6 Action Plan.

MattersReferredtoOtherCouncilDepartments

50 submissions were received which fall under the responsibility of various Council departments but contribute to the overall transport amenity of the area. These include conditions of footpaths, enforcement of parking restrictions, events management bus stop infrastructure and driveway approvals. A list of these issues has been summarised in Table 5.6 and will be referred to the appropriate departments within Council for their attention (Appendix F).

72 of the submissions received could not be used further for reasons such as there was not enough information provided, the issue fell within a different LATM Zone, or the issue was outside of the North Sydney Council LGA. A comment has been provided against each of these in Appendix G to explain why these have not been included in the Action Plans, or if they have been referred to the Action Plan for a different LATM Zone.

7. ProjectScoring–TrafficActions

Council’s traffic actions and those identified by this study have been assessed against several different criteria as per the North Sydney Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy (2015) to prioritise the actions on a relative basis. The scoring methodology consists of two parts – an assessment of the current conditions (problem score) and an assessment of the proposed treatment (solution score).

7.1 ExistingConditions(ProblemScore)

The problem score, P, is derived from the following quantitative criteria:

road classification; traffic volume vs desired volume; 85th percentile speed vs desired speed of 40km/h; crash data including weighted scores for severity and vulnerable road users; relative pedestrian and cyclist volumes; and surrounding land uses

7.2 CommunityStrategicPlanCriteria

The solution score, S, is derived from the project assessment framework set out in the 2017 Draft North Sydney Transport Strategy which consists of a score from -3 to 3 based on how relatively consistent the proposal is with the following criteria:

Safe Travel - Improve community safety by creating slow speed road environments where more vulnerable road users are protected from higher impact road users and the number of crashes and severity of injuries is minimised

Transport Security - Improve personal security through improved streetscape design, increased street activity and passive surveillance

Social Wellbeing - Provide social spaces where human interaction is given the highest priority and the negative impacts of traffic are minimised, promoting incidental social interaction, increasing civic pride, reducing anti-social behaviour and community policing requirements

Active Health - Provide infrastructure that encourages healthy and active lifestyle/travel choices Fair Access to Parking - Reduce demand for parking and / or provide more equitable access to

existing parking supply Environmental Sustainability - Encourage the use of low greenhouse gas emitting transport options Local Environments - Encourage the use of travel modes that have minimal impact on air quality,

water quality and noise Transport Affordability - Encourage the use of travel options with lower social, health and economic

costs and higher social, health and economic benefits Congestion - Apply travel demand management principles to minimise traffic demand and

associated traffic congestion Business Activity - Increase business opportunities by improving the look/ amenity of North Sydney

throughout the day and in to the evening while, at the same time, reducing the whole of life cost of transport networks, including the ongoing costs associated with cleaning and maintaining assets

The Action Plan is intended to provide a 10 year program of works for Council. However the Action Plan will be reviewed on an ongoing basis to highlight projects that have been completed and also incorporate new projects that are subsequently identified through community requests and Council studies. The priority timeframe “Short”, “Medium” or “Long” has been assigned based on relative scoring and project ranking. It is intended that the indicated timeframe is the timeframe in which the project should be completed. However all projects identified will require some level of further planning, investigation and design in the short and medium. Some projects are also intended to be programs or actions to be implemented on a continued basis over the long term, for example Road Safety Campaigns, and these have been assigned “Long Term” priorities accordingly. An indicative quantitative description of each timeframe is provided below.

Short term: 1-2 years Medium term: 2-5 years Long term: 5-10 years In addition, a small number of projects have been assigned the priority “Not to proceed”. These are for projects which have been assessed under the LATM criteria but were inconsistent with the community priorities and objectives outlined in Council’s Community Strategic Plan. For those projects, the reasons have been noted in the Action Plan and an alternative, positive benefit action has been proposed, but remain on the list for clarity and future reference. An example of the scoring methodology is provided in Appendix H.

The outcomes of the LATM assessment have been used to produce the LATM Action Plan which is provided at Appendix C.

8. ParkingReview

8.1 SectionOutline

This section provides a high-level parking review for LATM Zone 6 due to the absence of comprehensive parking data. This section culminates in a parking action plan.

8.2 ParkingReviewMethodology

At the time of preparing the LATM 6 Action Plan, comprehensive parking occupancy data was not available for all streets in the LATM Zone. This data collection is an extensive process that needs to be undertaken on a regular basis either with manual surveys or use of Council's License Plate Recognition vehicle. For the purposes of this report, sample parking occupancy surveys have been undertaken in collaboration with Council and based on community feedback data. The purpose of this process is to identify key roads that need to be prioritised for detailed surveys and assessment. However, it is recommended that an ongoing schedule of parking surveys across all streets in each LATM Zone be undertaken to ensure parking can be pro-actively managed across each LATM Zone.

The results for each sample of the LATM areas were represented in tables, with the main focus on the occupancy percentage for each street that was identified in the survey samples. North Sydney Council Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy (2015) provides a LATM Parking Principles Plan (Warrants) table which identifies the occupancy percentage thresholds and actions required (refer Figure 8.1). Where the parking occupancy percentage exceeds 85% for multiple time periods, further analysis will be recommended as a high priority. If any of the streets exceed 85% for only one time period, further analysis will still be recommended; however, it is treated as a lower priority.

Source: Table 7.6 – Integrated Traffic and Parking Strategy (2016)

Figure 8.1: LATM Parking Principles Plan (Warrants)

The limitations involved with this survey process were largely related to time constraints and limited on-street car parking data received from Council. The limiting factors include:

using google maps to calculate on-street car parking provision; and work zones not providing accurate representation of occupancy percentage.

8.3 KeyFindings

As noted in Section 3.8, parking-related issues made up 27% of the feedback from the community in LATM Zone 6. Furthermore, 87% of that feedback was that either parking restrictions were either too restrictive or not restrictive enough. The most frequently mentioned streets were Milson Road (22); Kurraba Road (18); Shellcove Road (17); Murodch Street (15); Kareela Road (10); and Cremorne Road (9).

The key roads surveyed and respective survey results for LATM Zone 6 are summarised in Table 8.1.

Table 8.1: Sample Parking Occupancy Survey Summary

Street AM Occupancy Off-Peak Occupancy PM Occupancy Average

Occupancy

Yeo Street 66% 75% 76% 72%

Wycombe Road 59% 61% 70% 63%

Murdoch Road 60% 68% 63% 64%

Milson Road 64% 59% 62% 62%

Clark Road 63% 58% 58% 60%

Kurraba Road 93% 97% 86% 92%

The sample occupancy data indicates that all streets surveyed require regular monitoring with average occupancies ranging between 60% - 72% (i.e. 45-85% occupancy range in Figure 7.1). Kurraba Road which recorded an average occupancy of 92% will require further investigation to determine if the time restriction parking areas should be reduced (i.e. 2P to 1P) as per the direction in Figure 8.1 .

8.4 LATMActions–Parking

It is recommended that an LGA-wide parking study is undertaken with detailed parking surveys. This would provide a complete data set necessary to determine informed parking actions, such as monitoring frequency and modifications to existing restrictions.

In addition to the above, it is recommended that an ongoing schedule of parking surveys across all streets in LATM 6 be undertaken to ensure parking can be pro-actively managed. The schedule should be initially prioritised based on proximity to major parking generators, then locations with a high number of public complaints and then all other streets to provide an ongoing, complete data inventory.

9. ApprovalsProcesses

The approvals process for the LATM actions involved several different steps to be approved for final recommendations. The steps were:

1. Draft LATM Action Plans submitted to Council for endorsement to place on public exhibition;

2. Draft LATM Action Plans placed on public exhibition for a minimum of 28 days;

3. Feedback from Steps 1-3 incorporated into LATM Action Plans;

4. Final LATM Action Plans submitted to Council for adoption;

5. 5-10 year program of works developed from LATM Action Plans;

6. Ongoing review of LATM Action Plans included completed and new assessed and prioritised items; and

7. Projects referred to Traffic Committee for approval prior to implementation.

North Sydney Council has been delegated certain powers from RMS to manage traffic matters on North Sydney roads. The North Sydney Traffic Committee considers all proposed changes to traffic and parking arrangements within the North Sydney LGA. Any recommendations from the traffic committee must be taken into consideration by North Sydney Council before making a determination to proceed.

The Action Plan will be reviewed on an ongoing basis to highlight completed actions. The Action Plan will also be updated with new projects that are identified by the community or through studies and subsequently prioritised using the LATM assessment criteria.

10. Summary

In order to gain a detailed understanding of the traffic and parking requirements and needs across the North Sydney LGA, investigations have been carried out under the Local Area Traffic Management Action Plans (LATM) program. The LGA of North Sydney was divided into seven LATM zone; this report has considered LATM Zone 6.

The key traffic and parking actions are summarised in the following subsections. Appendix F includes a complete action plan comprising of the traffic and parking actions, maps of action locations and the concept plans for schemes identified by this study.

10.1 TrafficActions

Actions for LATM Zone 6 have been incorporated into a single Action Plan. This incorporates actions that were developed as a result of the review of community consultation and from past traffic facilities programs, and additional actions identified by Bitzios Consulting as part of the detailed technical review. The actions and associated priority are shown in Appendix C. The Action Plan is intended to provide a 10 year program of works for Council. The priority timeframe “Short”, “Medium” or “Long” has been assigned based on relative scoring and ranking. It is intended that the indicated timeframe is the timeframe in which the project should be completed. However, all projects identified will require some level of planning, investigation and design in the short, medium or long term. Some projects are also intended to be programs or actions to be implemented on a continued basis over the long term, for example Road Safety Campaigns, and these have been assigned “Long Term” priorities accordingly. An indicative quantitative description of each timeframe is provided below.

Short term: 1-2 years

Medium term: 2-5 years

Long term: 5-10 years

In addition, a small number of projects have been assigned the priority “Not to proceed”. These are for projects which have been through the rigorous assessment and scoring process but overall produced a negative benefit when assessed against Council’s scoring criteria. For those projects, the reasons have been noted in the Action Plan and an alternative, positive benefit action has been proposed, but remain on the list for clarity and future reference.

10.2 ParkingReview

In lieu of comprehensive parking occupancy data, the focus area for the parking review and sample parking occupancy surveys was primarily based on collaboration with Council, as well as public feedback data. The extent of the parking surveys undertaken in LATM Zone 7 was largely based on the proximity to commercial streets and public feedback received in the area. Through this process, several streets were selected in LATM Zone 7 and treated as a sample due to project time constraints.

The actions and associated priority are shown in Appendix C.

It is recommended that an ongoing schedule of parking surveys across all streets in LATM Zone 6 be undertaken to ensure parking can be pro-actively managed.

7 sumbssions  "When on a bike, dangerous drivers."  Generally speaking, in my area, traffic is as good as the roads are wide. I ride but only at 5.30am when there are no dangers. I drive from Neutral Bay to school at Mosman and then drive on Militarty Road or go the back road through to the tunnel, to head over to UNSW. I don't mind sitting in traffic, but I am finding aggressive motor bikes riders are not just lane splitting but they are zig zagging and they expect every car to hit their brakes when required. One of them is going to be hit by a car and they will blame the car driver. I've riden motorbikes, so I have some experience. I have found a few of them lately pointing the finger at car drivers who are simply trying to drive in traffic. Cyclist who ride on Military Road during peak hour are taking high risks. John Brogden said over 10years ago that an underground tunnel was the way forward for our area, it should run from Burnt brush through to the Bradfield highway or thereabouts. I still think this is the long term answer for people coming from the Northern Beaches whether by public transport or driving a car, motorbike. An expressway is the answer for this area for peak area. I drove from Curl Curl to UNSW for a year, I wouldn't do it now. Thanks for the opportunity.   Military Rd, Cremorne and Neutral Bay ‐ cyclists on the Footpaths  NEUTRAL BAY ‐ MILITARY RD BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. CYCLIST SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE FOOTPATHS  "Military Rd, Neutral Bay ‐ Bikes running red lights. Military Rd and Ben Boyd Rd, Neutral Bay ‐ Bikes using Footpaths."  "Military Rd ‐ Bikes in traffic, so dangerous. Terrified. Ill hit someone, they are so hard to see."  Cycling safety, increase of cyclists, lack of rules, understanding

P.13  Harrison Street near Northside Cremorne Clinic 

Harrison Street is a relatively narrow roadway. Delivery and other drivers to Northside Clinic, I particularly note what seems to be a large truck delivering laundered linen, simply pull up and double‐park. This practice blocks one side of the road and depending on type and size of adjacent parked cars makes it difficult for drivers to edge past that truck. Perhaps the Northside Clinic needs to allocate more parking space onsite for visitors and perhaps there needs to be a loading zone for truck deliveries in front of the clinic.

Sydney located on the east side of the Warringah Freeway centered around Whaling Rd have very poor access to the main public transport hub of North Sydney. There is no pedestrian footpath along the north side of the High St overpass or a convenient location to cross High St. Residents frequently dart between the traffic of the High St overpass in order to walk along the median strip. This creates a danger to pedestrians and cars along the High St overpass, as well as traffic along the Warringah Freeway below. It creates additional traffic by discouraging the use of public transport.  Whaling Rd, crossing High St ‐ Crosing to Milsons Point Station across High St. Cars approach too fast and the path alongside the Warringah Freeway needs work, clean up and cyclists do not always dismount.  Holdsworth St, Neutral Bay (intersection with Kurraba Rd) ‐ There is no safe way to get across Kurraba Rd from our street so as to walk to Hayes St Wharf (for ferry) or to get to Anderson Park (to walk to Milson Point Station). We urgently need either: (i) pedestrian "island" / Safety rails in middle of Kurraba Rd and/or (ii) extension of/constriction of pedestrian footpath from Holdsworth St into Kurraba Rd (left hand side) so we can access the pedestrian "island" existing near car park area. There is no pedestrian footpath now on Kurraba Rd on left hand side that connects with Holdsworth Street. The increase in traffic volumes over the past 10 years plus has been very high and has made crossing Kurraba Rd a nightmare. A pedestrian accident is very likely with these unsafe conditions. Please help to alleviate the problem urgently.

considerable walk. This is not a practical long‐term solution. In our case, if the Cremorne Point 225 bus 

were continued up to Military Road and linked into the prevailing bus route to the city, then this would 

be a valuable solution. An alternative is to simply drive into the city. However, this which would then

This is very timely as I had been meaning to notify someone of my frustrations about one particular 

traffic problem in Neutral Bay. 

I’m sure you will be aware of the chaos each morning at the Ben Boyd/Military Road cross junction and 

the near impossibility to safely turn right from Ben Boyd on to Military Road. The right green arrow is 

very short and often made shorter by the pedestrian crossing coinciding with the green light.  Traffic 

goes through the red light in every direction making this junction very dangerous for traffic and 

pedestrians. Often even if the light is green there is no room to turn right because of congestion.  

Absolute chaos every morning between 8 and 9am.  I’m not sure what the solution is but something 

must be done. I am amazed there are not more accidents here.

Online Submission  81 The entire area is not at all cycle friendly. Military Road in particular is a death trap for cyclists due to 

the absence of a cycle lane, inadequate traffic lights and disorganised bus routes. 

Travelling west on Military, the turn into Ben Boyd Road is greater than a 90 degree angle, not suitable 

for a large vehicle such as a bus to comfortably make the turn without posing a danger to other road 

users. The bus has to use 2 lanes on approach to the turn, and still must be careful to avoid any vehicles 

waiting at the lights to exit Ben Boyd Road. The driver would be watching he doesn't clip these vehicles 

whilst making the tight turn, that his attention would not be fully focused on any pedestrians or cyclists 

approaching on his left side. 

Not a single bus service has the Ben Boyd turn off Military as part of its route, preferring the more bus 

friendly turn into Wycombe Road, then Yeo Street to join Ben Boyd Road, yet buses are frequently seen 

turning up Ben Boyd from Military and this must be stopped. 

Any person waiting to use the pedestrian crossing at Ben Boyd Road would see a bus coming along 

Military Road and think it is OK to cross, safe in the knowledge that a turn here is not a designated 

route of any bus, but the bus drivers seem to make their own rules, and as I mentioned earlier the 

likelihood of the bus driver seeing something approach from the left is slim as his focus is on not hitting 

the vehicles to his right. 

I was also told by the police that because of the design of a bus, the drivers vision out of the left side of 

a bus is obscured and they cannot see much, but I was also told by an ex bus driver that this is not true, 

but either way he would be too busy to look left anyway.

Another problem at this junction is the traffic lights.  There is no left turn filter,  and whilst the traffic 

lights are green the pedestrian crossing lights is also green.  Again this is a problem for a bus with the 

driver too focused on not hitting the vehicles to his right hand side.  A left turn filter which remains red 

whilst the pedestrian crossing is green is needed here. 

My partner was killed by a bus here, he had a green man to cross the road but the bus turned in 

anyway. The driver did not even notice that his left side had slammed into him as he was too busy 

checking his right side would make the turn. My partner was dragged the length of the bus before the 

drivers attention was back to the whole bus. 

There have been many cyclist fatalities in the area, how many more must die before provisions are 

made to make it cycle safe? Military Road must be one of the busiest roads in Sydney, cycle lanes 

should be a no brainer. Every major city in the world provides for its cyclists in such close proximity to 

the city centre, it's about time Sydney joined them.

Online Submission  82 I live in Rangers Road (number 33), on the south‐eastern corner of the Murdoch Street intersection.  

There is no crossing on this very dangerous side of the street ‐ there are crossings on the other three 

corners.  It has to be one of the most dangerous place to cross in all of the municipality.  Cars do not 

slow as they turn left from Rangers into Murdoch.  Most days my neighbours and I agree we play 

dodgem cars, but it's really playing with our lives.  I would hate to think of unattended children trying 

to cross here.

I cross the road here at least twice a day on my journey to Military Road and the Neutral Bay Junction 

bus stop.  Currently I work in North Sydney and prefer public transport to clogging the road with 

another motor vehicle.  As an older person (not elderly ‐ and not yet retired) I find it increasingly 

difficult to cross.  Motorists apparently do not know the road rule about pedestrian right‐of‐way at an 

intersection where there are no crossing lines or lights.  I am regularly abused for dodging vehicles ‐ 

and I admit the motorist receives as good as they give.  The volume of traffic isn't the problem ‐ it's the 

lack of a crossing.

well as our car.  We find the public transport is working much better since we moved into the area 4 yrs 

ago. Our main concern is we find it difficult to park in our street, Doris off Whaling Street, mainly at 

night when all residents are returning home after work.  Our problem is that residents as well as Unit 

Parkers are inconsiderate when parking, not parking up to the beginning of driveways or not parking up 

to the next car.  They just park in middle of two cars, where two cars could actually have parked, 

reducing parking in the street by as often as 3 or 4 cars.  Is there any way the parking between 

driveways could be marked by paint to show people a car space area to park in making the most of 

parking in the street.  This applies to other streets off Whaling where there is no marked parking.  It 

would just make people think a little more and be more considerate to other parkers.  We do not 

require metre parking or longer restriction parking, just painted lines around the whole area to give 

more parking in the Tapas 6 area.

Business Activity

...improve community safety by creating slow speed road environments where more vulnerable road users are protected from higher impact road users and the number of crashes and severity of injuries is minimised?

...improve personal security through improved streetscape design, increased street activity and passive surveillance?

...provide social spaces where human interaction is given the highest priority and the negative impacts of traffic are minimised, promoting incidental social interaction, increasing civic pride, reducing anti-social behaviour and community policing requirements?

…provide infrastructure that encourages healthy and active lifestyle/travel choices?

...reduce demand for parking and / or provide more equitable access to existing parking supply?

...encourage the use of low greenhouse gas emitting transport options?

...encourage the use of travel modes that have minimal impact on air quality, water quality and noise?

...encourage the use of travel options with lower social, health and economic costs and higher social, health and economic benefits?

...apply travel demand management principles to minimise traffic demand and associated traffic congestion?

...increase business opportunities by improving the look/amenity of North Sydney throughout the day and in to the evening while, at the same time, reducing the whole of life cost of transport networks, including the ongoing costs associated with cleaning and maintaining assets?
