7.1. Extension of No Stopping - Colden Drive Albion Park Rail

To the Chief Executive Officer

Directorate: Amenity & Assets

Group: Built & Natural Environment

Manager: Adam De Clouett - Manager Floodplain & Transport

Author: Tyson Perry – Engineering Technical Officer

Summary

The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Committee for the extension of

the "No Stopping" zone at Colden Drive, Albion Park Rail (Attachment 1).

Background

A report was submitted to the 4 March 2020 Shellharbour Traffic Committee

requesting the extension of the left turn lane at the intersection of Colden Drive and

Princes Highway, Albion Park Rail. As part of the community consultation to support

the 4 March 2020 report, the car dealership adjacent to Colden Drive noted that

approximately 35m of on-street parking will need to remain untouched to allow for

trucks to load/unload cars and for staff to park their vehicles. This was incorporated

within the 4 March 2020 report which was subsequently endorsed and installed. Since

then, Council has received several requests from members of the community and

Bunnings to further extend the "No Stopping" zone at Colden Drive, Albion Park Rail.

This has prompted further investigation and consultation with both the car dealership

and Bunnings of which are two businesses in close proximity to the subject area. The

recent consultation revealed that both businesses would support the extension of the

No Stopping zone to increase the left turn lane and ease congestion in the area. The

car dealership has since stated that the truck no longer requires this space to

unload/load vehicles as it operates outside of peak hours. To offset the parking loss

to the car dealership, Bunnings has also agreed to accommodate an additional 3

parking spaces within their parking lot to offset the loss of parking. Bunnings hope this

will assist with approvals for the extension of the No Stopping in Colden Drive. The

proposed changes (Attachment 2) are expected to improve congestion for vehicles

turning left at the Colden Drive and Princes Highway intersection.





Financial / Resources Implications

If approved, works will be carried out and funded by Council.

Legal and Policy Implications

Nil.

Public / Social Impact

Removal of 35m of on-street car parking however this is offset by Bunnings agreeing

to facilitate 3 car parking spaces for the adjacent car dealership if required. Extension

of "No Stopping" zone to slightly improve congestion in the area.

Link to Community Strategic Plan

This report supports the following objectives and strategies of the Community Strategic

Plan:

Objective: 2.3 A city that is connected through places and spaces

Strategy: 2.3.3 Provide and promote a sustainable, safe and connected transport network

7.2. Installation of No Parking Zones - Bow Lane Shell Cove






___________________________________________________________________

Summary

The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Committee for the installation

of two "No Parking" zones at Bow Lane, Shell Cove (Attachment 1).

Background

Councils Compliance & Regulation section have received reports of vehicles

obstructing access to residents' garages in Bow Lane, Shell Cove. Council Rangers

have patrolled the area on numerous occasions and have requested that parking

restrictions be installed to permit enforcement and act as a visible deterrent for

vehicles. It is proposed that, in addition to the installation of the "No Parking" zones

shown in Attachment 2, a letter informing adjacent residents of the proposed works

also be sent prior to works.


If approved, all works will be carried out and funded by Council.


Nil.


Removal of on-street car parking. Permits vehicles to still pick up and drop off at

location if required. Ensures residents entering/exiting private garages have enough

room to navigate the area.

7.3. Installation of Give Way sign and Line Marking - Intersection of

Moore Street and Storey Street Oak Flats






Summary


of "Give Way" sign and line marking at the intersection of Moore Street and Storey

Street, Oak Flats (Attachment 1).

Background

Council received a customer request noting that the pedestrian refuge creates a

perceived dangerous situation at the intersection of Storey Street and Moore Street,

Oak Flats. Cars turning right from Storey Street onto Moore Street are edging out over

the intersection. Due to the design of the pedestrian refuge, vehicles travelling south

on Moore Street cannot manoeuvre around the edging vehicle due to a lack of road

width available. To address this situation, it is proposed that "Give Way" sign and line

marking (Attachment 2) be installed to delineate the hold line for motorists turning

right from Storey Street.




Nil.


Improved delineation of T-Intersection.

7.5. Modification to No Stopping Zone - Benson Avenue

Shellharbour City Centre






Summary

The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Committee for the modification

to the No Stopping zone on Benson Avenue, Shellharbour City Centre (Attachment

1).

Background

Council has received a request to clarify whether vehicles can park adjacent to the

recently developed commercial tenancies at 6 Benson Avenue, Shellharbour City

Centre. Investigations revealed that inconsistent "No Stopping" signs currently exist

on Benson Ave near the pedestrian refuge. It is proposed that an additional "No

Stopping" sign be installed, in accordance with Attachment 2, to provide clarity on the

parking restrictions in the area.




Nil.


Improved clarity to the parking restrictions in the area.

7.6. Installation of Route 53 Bus Zone - Civic Avenue Shell Cove






___________________________________________________________________

Summary


of a temporary and a permanent Bus Zone for the Route 53 bus service operating in

Shell Cove (Attachment 1).

Background

Earlier in the year, Premier Illawarra submitted a request to Council for the installation

of Bus Zones for Shell Cove Route 53. During inspections of the proposed bus zone

locations, concerns over sight distance compliance and scraping of buses over

existing pedestrian crossings were noted. The sight distance compliance concerns

have since been addressed however the concerns regarding the pedestrian crossing

heights remain.

Frasers Property have committed to investigating the redesign of the pedestrian

crossings to permit buses to use the original bus zone location (proposed in the

approved DA0012/2016). With Route 53 scheduled to commence operation on 25

October 2020, it is unlikely the redesign of the pedestrian crossings will be complete

in time. To ensure Route 53 can operate by the scheduled date, it is proposed that a

temporary bus zone (Attachment 2) be installed to enable servicing of the Shell Cove

shopping district until the permanent bus zone (Attachment 3) can be installed.

It is worth noting that all other bus zones as part of Route 53 were submitted to the

Shellharbour Traffic Committee on 5 August 2020. These zones have recently been

installed by Shellharbour City Council and are ready for use by Premier Illawarra.






If approved, works will be carried out and funded by Frasers Property.


Nil.


Bus Zone installation will result in the temporary removal of 4 existing car parking

spaces at Civic Avenue, Shell Cove. Installation of a temporary bus zone will support

Route 53 service operation.
