Proposed Clearways on Warringah Road, Roseville Bridge to Beacon Hill Road, Beacon Hill Review of Environmental Factors

Appendix A

Consideration of clause 228(2) factors and matters of national environmental significance


Clause 228(2) Checklist

In addition to the requirements of the Is an EIS required? guideline as detailed in the REF, the following factors, listed in clause 228(2) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000, have also been considered to assess the likely impacts of the proposal on the natural and built environment.

Factor Impact

a. Any environmental impact on a community?

The local community may experience some temporary, negative impacts relating to construction noise and visual amenity. Some traffic impacts are also expected, however the majority of works that would impact on traffic would be undertaken at night to minimise traffic impacts. Safeguards are outlined in Sections 6.1.4 and 6.2.4. Operation of the proposal would result in the removal of kerbside parking along the length of Warringah Road within the proposal corridor. The proposal would provide improved safety of the Warringah Road corridor for motorists (see Section 6.1.3).

Local, short-term, negative impact Long-term, minor negative impact Long-term, positive impact

b. Any transformation of a locality? The proposal would have temporary adverse visual impacts during construction. Safeguards are outlined in Section 6.4.3. The proposal would result in the installation of new signage and line marking to designate the clearway zones. There would be no measurable change in the locality due to the urban landscape and existing road infrastructure in place.

Minor, local short-term Long-term - Nil

c. Any environmental impact on the ecosystems of the locality? The proposal would not have any impact on the ecosystems of the locality.

Nil

d. Any reduction of the aesthetic, recreational, scientific or other environmental quality or value of a locality?

The proposal would result in minor change to the visual landscape of the proposal corridor, with the introduction of new signage and line marking. These would be consistent with the existing road infrastructure in place.

Nil

e. Any effect on a locality, place or building having aesthetic, anthropological, archaeological, architectural, cultural, historical, scientific or social significance or other special value for present or future generations?

The proposal would not impact on Aboriginal or non-Aboriginal heritage items or sites.

Nil


Factor Impact

f. Any impact on the habitat of protected fauna (within the meaning of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974)?

The proposal would not have any impact on the habitat of protected fauna.

Nil

g. Any endangering of any species of animal, plant or other form of life, whether living on land, in water or in the air?

The proposal would not result in the endangering of any species.

Nil

h. Any long-term effects on the environment? Long-term positive impacts would include an increase in the road capacity, improved road safety for all road users and improved travel times for commuters and freight operations on a busy arterial road.

Positive, long-term

i. Any degradation of the quality of the environment? The proposal would have short-term negative impacts on the local environment as a result of construction works, such as noise and air emissions. The proposal would not result in any long-term degradation of the environment.

Short-term, minor impact

j. Any risk to the safety of the environment? The proposal would create temporary risks to the safety of the environment such as risks associated with pollution of the air, potential contamination and pollution to water during construction. Safeguards are outlined in Section 7.2. The proposal would not cause any risk to the safety of the environment during operation. Road safety for motorists would have a positive impact as a result of the proposed works (see Section 6.1.3).

Short-term, minor impact Minor positive impact

k. Any reduction in the range of beneficial uses of the environment? The proposal would result in the loss of some on-street parking spaces. The proposal has identified alternative locations that could be used as replacement parking where a negative gap between supply and demand has been found. The benefit accrued from the improvement in traffic flows as a result of the proposal is considered to outweigh the loss of on-street parking.

Neutral

l. Any pollution of the environment? The proposal is unlikely to result in any pollution of the environment.

Nil

m. Any environmental problems associated with the disposal of waste? The proposal would result in the minor generation of waste associated with the installation of new signage poles and line marking. The mitigation measures detailed in Section 6.12 would minimise the environmental impacts associated with waste on the proposal.

Nil


Factor Impact

n. Any increased demands on resources (natural or otherwise) that are, or are likely to become, in short supply?

The proposal would not result in a measurable increase in demand on resources.

Nil

o. Any cumulative environmental effect with other existing or likely future activities?

The cumulative impacts likely to arise from the combination of the construction of the proposal with other projects being carried out, such as roadworks on Warringah Road associated with the construction of the new Northern Beaches Hospital would be minimal due to the relatively limited scope of work associated with the proposal, the proposed construction methodology and short-term duration of construction activities. The proposal would result in long-term improvement in traffic flows which would have a cumulative contribution to improving congestion on Sydney’s road network.

Long-term positive

p. Any impact on coastal processes and coastal hazards, including those under projected climate change conditions?

The proposal would have no impact on coastal processes and coastal hazards, including those under projected climate change conditions.

Nil


Matters of National Environmental Significance

Under the environmental assessment provisions of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, the following matters of national environmental significance and impacts on Commonwealth land are required to be considered to assist in determining whether the proposal should be referred to the Australian Government Department of the Environment. A referral is not required for proposed actions that may affect nationally listed threatened species, ecological communities and migratory species. Impacts on these matters are assessed as part of the REF in accordance with Australian Government significant impact criteria and taking into account relevant guidelines and policies.

Factor Impact

a. Any impact on a World Heritage property? There would be no impacts on any World Heritage Properties.

Nil

b. Any impact on a National Heritage place? There would be no impacts on any National Heritage place.

Nil

c. Any impact on a wetland of international importance? There would be no impacts on any wetlands of international importance.

Nil

d. Any impact on a listed threatened species or communities? The proposal is unlikely to significantly impact threatened species, populations or ecological communities or migratory species.

Nil

e. Any impacts on listed migratory species? The proposal is unlikely to significantly listed migratory species.

Nil

f. Any impact on a Commonwealth marine area? There would be no impacts on a Commonwealth marine area.

Nil

g. Does the proposal involve a nuclear action (including uranium mining)? The Proposal does not involve a nuclear action.

Nil

Additionally, any impact (direct or indirect) on Commonwealth land? There would be no impacts on Commonwealth land.

Proposed new and extended clearways on Warringah Road from Roseville Bridge, Roseville Chase to Beacon Hill Road, Beacon Hill

November 2017

Community Consultation Report

THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK

Executive summary

This report provides a summary of Roads and Maritimes Services’ consultation with the community and key stakeholders on the proposal to install new and extended clearways on Warringah Road from Roseville Bridge, Roseville Chase to Beacon Hill Road, Beacon Hill.

Roads and Maritime invited feedback on the proposal through an extended consultation period across the months of February and March 2017.We received feedback from 193 people and organisations, who raised a number of matters for Roads and Maritime to consider in determining how the proposal should progress. Key matters raised include the proposed clearway hours, parking, safety, and the introduction of clearways on other roads.

We also received a number of requests for information that were outside the scope of the proposal.

This proposal is part of the Sydney Clearways Strategy which aims to manage congestion on Sydney’s roads. The Strategy outlines how the introduction of new or extended clearways allows the existing capacity of State roads to be fully utilised immediately and help road users get to their destination sooner and with a more reliable journey time.

Clearways form part of a number of measures aimed at improving traffic flows on state roads, including no stopping restrictions, bus lanes and transit lanes. Clearways are directly aimed at alleviating congestion on key roads where on-street parking is obstructing the efficient performance of the whole corridor. Clearways can have an immediate positive benefit to road users at a low cost and without the need for road widening to introduce additional traffic lanes.

The current clearways network in Sydney provides considerable benefits for major roads across the morning and evening peak periods. Benefits include:

x supporting the efficient movement of people and goods on Sydney roads x facilitating more reliable journey times for road users on major roads x managing growth in traffic flow and reduction of emission through smoother traffic flow x increasing peak period road capacity without expensive investment in widening roads x balancing the use of kerbside space outside of clearway times for parking.

The decision

Roads and Maritime thanks everyone who considered this proposal and provided feedback.

Roads and Maritime have decided to progress the proposal and display the Review of Environmental Factors (REF), which responds to feedback raised during the community consultation period in February and March 2017. More information on how you can view the REF can be found on our website at rms.nsw.gov.au/clearways.

Introduction

Background

On 1 December 2013, the NSW Government announced the Sydney Clearways Strategy as one of its key initiatives to reduce congestion on Sydney’s roads. This Strategy outlines how to get more from Sydney’s roads now – by introducing new or extended clearways on roads that don’t perform to expectations.

The NSW Government’s Long Term Transport Master Plan outlines a number of responses to traffic congestion in Sydney, aimed at improving travel on Sydney’s roads in both the short and the long term. One of the primary means to achieve this is the use of clearways.

Traffic growth in Sydney has reached a point where there is a need to consider further improvements in t he use of the existing road network to reduce travel times. The current clearways network has been in place for several decades, and has pr oven to be effective in improving travel times. A particular need has been identified to extend clearways for weekend travel, where traffic growth has l ed to congestion levels similar to that of weekday peak periods.

The Sydney Clearways Strategy also sets out a process for engaging with local communities and councils and for ensuring alternative business parking is available, to minimise impacts o n local businesses.

The NSW Government has committed $121 million to the clearways strategy which includes assisting local councils with alternative business parking solutions. So far, we have delivered over 230 kilometres of new and extended weekend and weekday clearways across the Sydney road network under the clearways strategy.

Warringah Road is a key c orridor on Sydney’s road network that links Chatswood and the Northern Beaches and is part of State Road Number 328, gazetted in 1976. It forms part of the A38 corridor. It will also be an important route for access t o the new Northern Beaches Hospital.

Warringah Road is a six l ane divided road. Existing weekday c learways operate westbound from 6.00am to 10.00am and eastbound from 3.00pm to 7.00pm between Roseville Bridge and Forest Way. There are ‘No Parking’ and ‘No Stopping’ restrictions that operate at other times along this route. During our investigations, we found that there were nearly 75,000 vehicles using the corridor near Valley Road, Forestville and nearly 60, 000 vehicles using the corridor near Daines Road, Beacon Hill, on weekdays.

The proposal

The proposal included extending the existing weekday peak clearways and introducing new weekend clearways on Warringah Road between Roseville Bridge, Roseville Chase and Beacon Hill Road, Beacon Hill. The proposed hours in both directions would be:

x weekdays from 6am to 7pm x weekends and public holidays from 9am to 6pm.

The current ‘No Parking’ and ‘No Stopping’ restrictions would continue to operate outside of the proposed clearway hours.

Changes to clearway restrictions around the Northern Beaches Hospital road upgrade would take place once the roadwork is complete.

Consultation summary

Overview

We distributed 10,000 letters ( Appendix A) t o local residents and businesses (Appendix D) inviting feedback on the proposal. Copies were also provided to key stakeholders.

We received 223 submissions from 193 people. 70 people supported the proposal, 18 people were supportive but raised concerns and four were neutral. 101 people raised a number of matters for Roads and Maritime to consider in determining how the proposal should progress. These matters include the need for extended clearways, loss of parking, and safety.

We also received two petitions signed by a total of 270 people raising concerns about this proposal. We noted from the signatures, that people signed one or both of the petitions and also submitted separate submissions, which are included in the numbers above.

After considering all submissions, along with the proposal’s aims and design requirements, we have decided to progress the proposal and display the Review of Environmental Factors (REF) to investigate and address the community feedback received. Comments received following the REF display process will be considered before the proposal progresses further.

Feedback Summary and Roads and Maritime Response

Table 1 - Feedback summary and responses

Category Matter raised Roads and Maritimes' response Proposal justification

What are the methodology/criteria for the introduction of a new clearway, and how do the results of the investigations undertaken by Roads and Maritime show that Warringah Road meets these criteria?

The Sydney Clearway Strategy published in December 2013, identified routes which may benefit from clearways and that required further investigation on Sydney’s road network, based on an assessment of the following criteria at that time:

x directional traffic flows exceed 800 vehicles per hour per lane x travel speeds are 30km/h or below during peak periods

Additionally, roads identified in the Strategy required further individual assessment to understand if:

x The road is a strategic bus or freight transport corridor for moving people and goods x Alternative public parking close to local businesses can be found, taking into account

the quantity and usage of parking removed to extend or introduce a new clearway

Through this strategy, Warringah Road was identified as:

x requiring further investigation for possible extended weekday and weekend clearways along sections of Warringah Road

x being a suburban bus route in ‘Sydney’s Bus Future’, and x being a tertiary freight route in the NSW Freight and Port Strategy

This means, Warringah Road plays a vital role in Sydney’s transport network, and will continue to be relied upon as an important public transport and freight route in the future.

One of the key considerations for whether a new or extended clearway should be investigated to ease congestion on a major state road is if directional traffic flow exceeds 800 vehicles per hour per lane. Whilst Warringah Road has three lanes, cars are parked in the kerbside lane. This means there are two flow lanes of traffic, resulting in the combined traffic volume needing to exceed 1600 vehicles per hour per direction on the road as per Australian Standards guidelines. This Australian Standards guidelines is used even when ‘no parking’ or ‘no stopping’ restrictions are in place as illegally parked

Roads and Maritime should conduct the investigations to install clearways again. The investigations that were undertaken to justify the new and extended clearways have not been collected and/or calculated correctly. Traffic runs freely from Beacon Hill Road to Government Road. The level of traffic on this section is nowhere near 800 vehicles per hour.

Category Matter raised Roads and Maritimes' response vehicles are unable to be towed under these restrictions.

Traffic volume data was investigated from the Roseville Bridge to the intersection of Warringah Road and Pittwater Road. Investigations carried out looked at the number of vehicles that moved along the road in both directions across the day on both weekdays and weekends. Traffic exceeds 1600 vehicles per hour in each direction during:

x weekday AM and PM peaks when existing clearway and ‘No Stopping’ restrictions are in place.

x in between the existing AM and PM weekday peak periods x between 9am and 6pm on weekends.

This is referenced in the graphs below.

To confirm and validate this 2015 traffic volume data, Roads and Maritime has also analysed traffic volumes on Warringah Road, near Daines Parade, using data collected

from January to April 2017. The results are as follows.

11


Figure 2 – Average traffic volumes from Warringah Road near Daines Parade in Beacon Hill between 3/1/2017 to 29/4/2017 (excluding school and public holidays) Source: RMS Mid-Block Counter

This data indicates the need for the kerbside lane to be clear through the introduction of a clearway to ensure traffic volumes can be distributed across three lanes instead of two (also see Figure 3). A clearway will help ease congestion, improve traffic flow, and improve safety.

Category Matter raised Roads and Maritimes' response The majority of the corridor where parking was observed is occupied and zoned for residential uses. The traffic and parking study carried out in May 2015 found that there was minimal demand for business parking along the corridor and any loss could be accommodated by existing onsite parking at business or in side streets with no changes to current parking restrictions.

However, investigations of the traffic volumes between Beacon Hill Road and Pittwater Road did not support the introduction of new or extended clearways on Warringah Road between Beacon Hill Road and Pittwater Road at this time. This section was not included in the March 2017 proposal for new and extended clearways on Warringah Road.

A clearway is not needed on Warringah Road through Beacon Hill, as cars tend to use the middle lane regardless of whether or not there are cars parked in the kerbside lane.

A clearway is needed on Warringah Road through Beacon Hill to help manage traffic flow and increase the useable road capacity. As discussed above, the investigations found that traffic volumes are in excess of the 800 vehicles per hour (or 1600 when combining the two functional lanes). As a result, road users experience congestion and delayed travel times.

During current peak periods, existing parking restrictions including clearways are in place, and are effective in improving the performance of the road. The traffic volumes experienced now across the day warrant the ‘No Parking’ restrictions, being changed to clearways and the further extension of the clearway hours. Introducing new and extended clearways on weekdays between 6am and 7pm and on weekends and public holidays between 9am and 6pm would immediately help ease congestion and help road users get to their destinations sooner and in a more reliable timeframe.

Parking restrictions on Sydney’s state roads, including clearways, vary across the metropolitan area. Some apply during peak times only, others apply all day, and some roads don’t have clearways at all. The different hours of operation may cause road users to question the reliability of the kerbside lane whilst driving. In order to ‘play it safe’, and avoid the need to merge, road users may opt to stay in the middle lane as they know it will also be available to moving traffic.

A clearway across standard hours on weekends and weekdays is expected to change this behaviour as it ensures all lanes are available to road users and lets people know that the kerbside lane will not be blocked. This distributes traffic evenly across a road. This can also improve the efficiency of intersections as vehicles can move through intersections using all lanes.

The classification of Warringah Road as State Roads form part of Sydney’s arterial road network and provide important regional

connections. Road users rely on these important connections for the movement of people and goods within the Sydney metropolitan region. Warringah Road was classified as a State Road (Number 328) in 1976.

Warringah Road was identified as an important state road that would benefit from the installation of new and extended clearways in the Sydney Clearways Strategy due to the role it plays in moving people through Sydney’s north. It has also been identified as a:

x suburban bus route in ‘Sydney’s Bus Future’, and x tertiary freight route in the NSW Freight and Port Strategy

Warringah Road plays a vital role in Sydney’s transport network, and will continue to be relied upon as an important public transport and freight route in the future.

Roads and Maritime acknowledge that Warringah Road provides for local traffic and access to residential properties along the corridor. However as Sydney continues to grow, the NSW Government has reviewed its strategically important transport routes and identified how the existing road network can better perform to ensure the efficient movement of people and goods throughout the metropolitan area.

A clearway on Warringah Road is not justified, as there are other roads that are much busier that don’t have weekday and weekend clearways.

The Sydney Clearways Strategy identified over 1000 kilometres of state roads for investigation of new and extended clearways to help ease congestion and improve the efficiency of the network. These roads travel through a mix of land uses including commercial, retail, industrial, recreational, bushland and residential areas. They are the principle traffic carrying and linking routes for the movement of people and goods within the Sydney metropolitan region.

Since the Strategy was announced in 2013, over 230 kilometres of new and extended of clearways have been installed across Sydney helping road users get to their destination sooner, and more reliably.

Clearways currently operate from 6am to 7pm on weekdays and from 9am to 6pm on weekends along Devlin Street / Church Street / Lane Cove Road, from Ryde Bridge, Ryde to Bridge Road, North Ryde; Silverwater Road and Stewart Street from Parramatta Road to Marsden Road; and Concord Road, Homebush Bay Drive and Centenary Drive between Rhodes and Strathfield. These roads are similar to Warringah Road as they are next to and provide direct access to residential properties.

This proposal would make Warringah Road the first residential road in Sydney with seven day per week, all day clearways.

Category Matter raised Roads and Maritimes' response There are currently a number of clearway proposals within Sydney’s North including along Pacific Highway, Boundary Street and Babbage Road, Eastern Valley Way, and Forest Way. Further information can be found on our website at rms.nsw.gov.au/clearways.

The collective impact of the introduction of clearways will help improve traffic within the wider road network and improve travel time for the broader community.

This clearway will be critical when the new roadworks around the Northern Beaches Hospital are operational.

As discussed above, investigations found that the current traffic volumes along Warringah Road are above the Australian Standard guidelines and justify the introduction of new and extended clearways.

The investigations were in response to the proposed clearway, which is a traffic improvement project identified in the Sydney Clearways Strategy. The clearway investigations were independent of the environmental impact assessment and traffic impact investigations carried out for the Northern Beaches Hospital (NBH) upgrade. The clearway investigations looked at the current traffic volumes along the corridor, and did not include the likely traffic changes to result from the operation of the NBH. Based on the outcome of this investigation, the proposed hours are considered appropriate at this point in time. Nonetheless, the study determined that new clearways are needed now, even without the likely increases in volumes resulting from the hospital upgrade.

The traffic investigation work separately carried out for the NBH upgrade found that traffic volumes in the 3 hour AM and PM peak periods are forecast to increase from the 2012 base by 12 percent and 11 percent respectively in 2018 when the hospital opens. By 2028, traffic volumes are forecast to increase by a further 5 percent in the AM peak period and 4 percent in the PM peak period.

Should traffic conditions significantly change in the future, the clearway hours will be reviewed, as part of future clearways assessments.

If you are after more specific information about the Northern Beaches Hospital upgrade please visit rms.nsw.gov.au/nbh.

Further investigations into the need for extended clearway hours of operation outside of weekday peak periods should be undertaken following the completion of the Northern Beaches Hospital Roadworks. The construction of the new Northern Beaches Hospital and surrounding business precinct can be expected to increase traffic but the proposed clearway extensions is unjustified. Once the construction of the Northern Beaches Hospital is complete, the clearways should be introduced for no more than two blocks either side of the Northern Beaches Hospital. What is the forecast for future traffic growth on Warringah Road, following the opening of the Northern Beaches Hospital? Warringah Road as far east as Beacon Hill will not be needed for access to the new hospital. Any extra congestion being experienced on Warringah Road is temporarily being caused by the construction of the Northern Beaches Hospital.

15

Category Matter raised Roads and Maritimes' response The Northern Beaches Hospital roadworks will render the proposed clearway changes unnecessary. The traffic environment on Warringah Road will be completely different after the Northern Beaches Hospital Roadworks are complete.

Clearway operating hours and locations

Warringah Road should be No Stopping/Standing/Parking/ 24/7, all year round, except for buses and emergency vehicles.

There are existing weekday clearways from Roseville Bridge to Forest Way from 6am to 10am westbound and from 3pm to 7pm eastbound. In addition, there are currently ‘No Parking’ restrictions in place from 6.30am to 9.30am and from 3.30pm to 6.30pm on weekdays from Frenchs Forest Road East to Beacon Hill Road westbound and between Beacon Hill Road and Courtley Road eastbound.

These restrictions improve the performance of the road during peak periods. However, the current ‘No Parking’ and ‘No Stopping’ restrictions in place do not allow parked or broken down vehicles to be towed. When vehicles block lanes they can cause major congestion issues.

Replacing ‘No Parking’ and ‘No Stopping’ restrictions currently in place with clearways during peak periods are unlikely to result in travel time benefits by individual road users every day, but it will mean a significant improvement when issues do arise as cars can be towed from the road corridor removing the obstruction to traffic flows.

During the inter-peak period and on weekends, parked cars in the kerbside lane causes traffic to be unevenly distributed across the three lane capacity of Warringah Road. When volumes in each lane exceed 800 vehicles per hour and vehicles are parked in the kerbside lane, disruption to traffic flow starts to occur as road users in the kerbside lane are forced to merge into the other lanes, resulting in stop/start traffic flows, longer queues and overall inefficiency along the road corridor.

During inter-peak periods on weekdays (10am-4pm), there is no need for three lanes in each direction to be available for traffic. There are no traffic problems on Warringah Road on weekends or on weekdays. Increasing the hours of the clearway operation on Warringah Road beyond peak periods will not make any difference to peak period traffic flow. The clearways should only operate on Warringah Road when there is sufficient traffic volume to justify their operation. There are ‘no stopping’ zones already in place during peak periods and there is not congestion on Warringah Road outside of these times. Parking in this section has little impact on traffic flow or congestion during off peak and weekend times. The existing hours of clearway operations are sufficient


Figure 3 – Traffic congestion on Warringah Road eastbound west of Government Road on Saturday 1 April 2017

Parked vehicles in the kerbside lane cause ‘bottle necks’ resulting in congestion before the parked vehicles. Beyond the ‘bottle neck’ traffic generally flows more freely although at slower speeds.

Heavy usage and reliance on two available lanes results in longer queues at intersections, and reduces the number of vehicles moving through the intersections on each green traffic light phase. A clearway would increase the efficiency of the road and side roads by increasing the number of vehicles able to move through intersections during each green traffic light phase.

We have limited the clearway hours to operate only at times where warranted by traffic volumes. Please refer to traffic volume data discussed above in this report.

Taxis should not be allowed to stop when clearways are in operation.

Under NSW road rules, drivers of public buses, taxis, and emergency vehicles are permitted to stop along a clearway when dropping off or picking up passengers.

Clearways should improve the journey time reliability of an emergency vehicle (such as an ambulance) as it will remove parked cars from the kerbside lane.

Cars parked in the kerbside lane make it difficult for an ambulance to reach their destination

Investigations assessed the current traffic volumes experienced along Warringah Road.

17

Category Matter raised Roads and Maritimes' response Traffic nearly as bad as it is on weekdays. Roads and Maritime found that traffic volumes in both directions generally increased on

the western end of the corridor, with volumes near Roseville Bridge (75,000 vehicles per day) higher than at the Pittwater Road end of the corridor.

Volumes through to Beacon Hill Road (60,000 vehicles per day) remained significant and were sufficient to warrant extensions to the current clearway hours. Beyond this point, volumes distributed to other roads including Beacon Hill Road and Willandra Road. We are not proposing to make any changes to the section of Warringah Road between Beacon Hill Road and Pittwater Road at this time.

Typical seasonal variations including summer travel to the beach, Christmas shopping at Warringah Mall and football games at Brookvale Oval in Brookvale would also add to these traffic volumes and congestion through the Beacon Hill area.

The ingress points between Beacon Hill Road, Willandra Road and Warringah Road are not congested in off-peak times. The proposed clearways on Warringah Road would result in no improvement to congestion. The majority of the traffic on Warringah Road exists between Wakehurst Parkway and Roseville Bridge both eastbound and westbound on weekdays and weekends.

Other road users

During the clearway hours of operation, the kerb side lane should be set aside for public transport, motor bikes and car sharing (T2 or T3).

Warringah Road was identified in the Sydney Clearways Strategy for further investigation as a new or extended clearway. As per the strategy, clearways may be elevated to transit lanes, bus lanes or bus only lanes/transit ways in the future. However, there is no proposal to do so at this time.

Bus lanes should be installed on Warringah Road during morning and afternoon peak periods, both on weekdays and weekends instead of clearways. The flow of traffic on Forest Way and Warringah Road is impeded by bicycle riders in left lane.

Cyclists are permitted to ride on the road under the Australian Road Rules. They must obey the road rules and may not ride more than two abreast in a traffic lane. When in operation, the clearway provides an additional lane for all traffic, including cyclists. When a clearway is not in operation and vehicles are parked in the kerbside lane, cyclists are permitted to use the middle lane.

There is a shared pedestrian/cycle path being constructed along both sides of Warringah Road for the length of the Northern Beaches Hospital road upgrade.

It is the role of Council to consider broader off road cycling facilities. Suggestions for such a facility or changes to cycling routes or infrastructure should be referred to Northern Beaches Council.

During peak hours the use of these corridors by bicycles should be banned.

Parking Parking zones in side streets should be made available. The private sector and/or the Council should provide and encourage these developments

Warringah Road is a state road with an important role in moving people and goods through Sydney’s north. The road passes through a number of residential areas zoned for low density housing under the Warringah Local Environmental Plan 2011, including Narraweena, Beacon Hill, Forestville, and Frenchs Forest. These commonly have onsite

parking within either a driveway, garage or car port.

The Sydney Clearway Strategy provides for the offset of business parking demand for parking that is removed through the introduction of a clearway. There are sections along the corridor that have industrial, commercial and business uses. Our investigation found that there was minimal demand for business parking along the corridor and any demand could be accommodated onsite or in side streets with no changes to current parking restrictions.

We understand that the new and extended clearway hours will change parking conditions in front of residential properties, which may cause some inconvenience for residents and visitors. Residents, who live on this section of Warringah Road, will need to reconsider where they park during the new clearway hours. For residents without a driveway, garage or carport on their property, local streets are available for parking during the clearway hours subject to any Council restrictions. Outside the clearway hours, existing parking restrictions will remain in place.

Our parking investigations over nine days from 23 to 31 May 2015 found that there was a relatively low demand for parking most of the time during the proposed clearway hours on Warringah Road. Information collected on parking demand is included below:

Weekdays x Eastbound between Allambie Road and Government Road – typically 0 to 1 vehicle

and a maximum of 4 vehicles x Eastbound between Government Road and Willandra Road – typically 1 to 2 vehicles

and a maximum of 2 vehicles x Westbound between Willandra Road and Ellis Road – typically 1 to 3 vehicles and a

maximum of 5 vehicles x Westbound between Ellis Road and Allambie Road – typically no parking and a

maximum of 3 vehicles

Weekends x Eastbound between Allambie Road and Government Road – typically 2 to 5 vehicles.

A maximum of 12 vehicles were observed, associated with Warringah Markets at Warringah Christian Church held once per month on the second Saturday

x Eastbound between Government Road and Willandra Road – typically 1 to 2 vehicles and a maximum of 2 vehicles

Nearby side/back streets will not accommodate for the loss of parking from Warringah Road. The distance between available parking in side streets and Warringah Road residences is too far. The majority of houses have some off street parking, but this is often limited. There is minimal observed parking on Warringah Road. Parking on Warringah Road should be a right for residents and visitors, especially during non-peak times. Residential/community car parks should be constructed on each block along Warringah Road. There are not enough visitor parking spaces in residential complexes on Warringah Road.

Category Matter raised Roads and Maritimes' response x Westbound between Willandra Road and Ellis Road – typically 10 to 15 vehicles and

a maximum of 20 vehicles x Westbound between Ellis Road and Willandra Road – typically 1 to 3 vehicles

Parking for visitors will either be within properties, in driveways or similar, or in nearby side streets. This is similar to all other state roads where clearways and ‘No Stopping’ or ‘No Parking’ restrictions are in place.

As clearways continue to be rolled out across Sydney, road users will experience more efficient, safer, and more reliable journey times.

Safety Side swipe type crashes have occurred as a result of cars parking in the narrow side streets. As a result, residents are starting to park on the grassed medians.

We acknowledge that some side streets in the area where parking can occur are narrow and care needs to be taken when travelling and parking on these local streets.

We have reviewed the crash reports sourced from the NSW Police records, for reported incidents on Earl Street and found there were no reported crashes on Earl Street, Beacon Hill, in the five year period from 1 Jan 2011 and 31 Dec 2016. However there was one crash nearby, where a vehicle travelling westbound on Warringah Road crashed into a parked vehicle near the Earl Street intersection.

Parking on grassed medians is illegal, and Council and NSW Police are accountable for enforcing this road rule, to ensure the safety of pedestrians.

Increased parking in back streets could cause an increase in car crashes in streets such as Earl Street.

Suggestion to install a speed camera on Warringah Road.

An initiative of the NSW Speed Camera Strategy is to allow NSW residents to nominate locations for speed camera enforcement.

Roads and Maritime recommends visiting the website: saferroadsnsw.com.au/haveyoursayspeedcameras.aspx to formally nominate a location as a potential site for a NSW Speed Camera. The information you provide, together with crash data and other road safety information will help to prioritise future locations for speed cameras in NSW.

NSW Police is responsible for monitoring the road network to ensure users comply with all road rules and regulations. Both the NSW and Roads and Maritime through the Mobile Speed Camera Program and NSW Police regularly enforce speed limits along Warringah Road, with regular enforcement near Roseville Bridge.

Clearways will improve the distribution of traffic along the road as all lanes of traffic will be available to road users. Removing parked cars from the kerbside lane will remove the

Concerns about speeding on Warringah Road. Parked cars offer a buffer.

Category Matter raised Roads and Maritimes' response need for road users to have to merge with moving traffic in the adjacent lanes, and will also reduce the risk of vehicles being involved in side swipe crashes. This provides a more stable flow of traffic resulting in a safer environment for road users.

Cars parked in close proximity to driveways are a safety hazard for road users turning into driveways, as they need to slow down in the middle lane to turn around them.

The proposed clearway on Warringah Road between Roseville Chase and Beacon Hill would remove parking in the kerb-side lane during the proposed clearway hours. This is expected to reduce congestion and delays for road users and improve safety.

Removal of parked cars on the kerbside lane during the proposed clearway hours would improve line-of-sight for vehicles exiting driveways and vehicles travelling along the kerbside lane and assist in reducing the risk of crashes.

Allowing use of all lanes on Warringah Road should improve the efficiency through existing intersections, meaning that more vehicles can cross during each traffic signal cycle. This often results in “platooning” where groups of vehicles travel together in bunches or platoons at similar speeds with larger gaps between each platoon (i.e. groups of vehicles).

Larger gaps between platoons of vehicles allow more time to safely exit driveways, when compared with a steady stream of individual vehicles as observed when traffic is slowing and merging and when intersections are not operating efficiently.

Clearway will create safety issues for residents exiting and entering their driveways.

Residential and amenity access

The operation of council services, such as waste collection will need to be considered as part of this proposal.

Roads and Maritime do not consider council waste collectors to be in breach of clearway conditions during normal operation. Clearways operate across the Sydney network and waste collection is scheduled and occurs without any problems. We will work with council to resolve any issues with operations during clearway conditions.

Concerns about the impact of the clearway on quality and amenity of life for residents of Warringah Road.

Roads and Maritime seek to balance the needs of the community as well as road users. Warringah Road is a key arterial road and Sydney will continue to grow over the coming years. Clearways are a quick way to manage growing congestion immediately. As clearways continue to be rolled out across Sydney, road users will experience more efficient, safer, and more reliable journey times. This means less time in the car, and more time doing the things they enjoy.

The drivers of public buses, taxis, and emergency vehicles are permitted to stop along a Clearway when dropping off or picking up passengers.

The new and extended clearway hours will change parking conditions in front of residential properties along Warringah Road. If residents expect any private deliveries they will need to consider where the delivery vehicle could stop to unload. Forward

There will not be any available parking for services including taxis, deliveries, medical services and tradespeople on Warringah Road during proposed clearway hours.

21

Category Matter raised Roads and Maritimes' response planning for deliveries to ensure driveways and carports are available will provide on-site space for delivery drivers during clearway hours. This is similar to all other state roads where clearways and ‘No Stopping’ restrictions are in place.

Deliveries can often be scheduled outside of the proposed clearway hours, as an example groceries can be delivered across the day from 5am until 10pm or major furniture retailers can deliver from 7am to 9am on weekends.

Request for Roads and Maritime to fund the construction of footpaths in side streets near Warringah Road.

A review of existing local footpath infrastructure on and around the proposal indicates that Warringah Road has existing footpaths on both sides along the proposed length. Many side streets, including Frenchs Forest Road East, Ellis Street, Government Road, Daines Parade and Cornish Avenue have existing footpaths on one or both sides.

Footpaths are owned and maintained by Council. If you experience any safety hazards or concerns regarding the public domain or network of pathways, it is recommend that residents contact Council and log a service request to have these reviewed.

Roads and Maritime will raise these concerns with Council to investigate extensions to council’s footpath network in the local area.

Elderly residents and visitors, and those with children will have difficulty walking from back streets to properties on Warringah Road as the footpaths are either uneven or non-existent.

This proposal is discriminatory against the residents, the elderly, the sick, the frail and young children.

Clearways have been installed on over 230 kilometres of state roads across Sydney since 2013. Many of the existing clearways are located on roads with residential properties. As a result, residents may have had to change where they park their car if garages, carports or driveways are not available. Local streets are readily available to provide alternative parking arrangements during clearway hours.

While Roads and Maritime seek to balance the needs of the community as well as road users, Warringah Road is a key arterial road, and its role in connecting people and moving goods across Sydney’s north will continue as Sydney continues to grow.

It is recommended that residents explore options for parking either onsite in garages, car ports, driveways, and if not available, then using nearby local streets. Taxis are permitted to stop in clearways to drop off passengers where required, which could assist the elderly in their safe journey home.

The proposed clearways would result in huge individual and community hardships, social isolation and impact on civil liberties. The proposed clearways are unsafe for elderly residents and young people, as they would have to walk further especially at night with poor lighting, usually increasing the risk of an incident.

Environment al Impacts

The proposed clearways on Warringah Road will result in increased noise and air pollution.

The proposal would not generate additional traffic or bring traffic closer to residences. The proposal is intended to contribute to more efficient traffic flow. This is not anticipated to generate change to existing road traffic noise.

Any concerns about existing road traffic noise from a state road should be referred to the The poor environment levels on Warringah Road need to be reduced.

Category Matter raised Roads and Maritimes' response Roads and Maritime Noise Abatement Program rms.nsw.gov.au/about/environment/reducing-noise/noise-abatement-program.html

Adverse greenhouse gas impacts are not anticipated from the proposal during operation. The proposal would contribute to improved traffic efficiency, which should lower emissions by reducing the need for motorists to constantly start and stop.

Roads and Maritime Services, or any such equivalent service should be policing the frequent use of Warringah Road by heavy vehicles that have poorly maintained braking and or exhaust systems. These vehicles are noisy, and often make movements in the early hours of the morning.

Noise from heavy vehicle engine compression brakes is a significant and on-going cause of complaint for many NSW residents. Roads and Maritime completes periodic inspection of heavy vehicles at testing stations to ensure that silencers are fitted and maintained. Heavy vehicles on Australian roads during normal operation and acceleration must meet noise requirements outlined in the Australian Design Rules. Roads and Maritime is part of a Commonwealth process coordinated by the National Transport Commission to look at ways of reducing engine compression brake noise.

For more information on heavy vehicle exhaust noise please contact Roads and Maritime on 1300 786 748 or visit the website rms.nsw.gov.au/about/environment/reducing-noise/index.html.

Property Value

The proposed clearways will possibly make my house unsellable.

We understand that the new and extended clearway hours will change parking conditions in front of residential properties, which may cause some inconvenience for residents and visitors. However the primary purpose of a state road such as Warringah Road is to move people and goods efficiently across Sydney. Any parking currently permitted on the state road is not specifically allocated to residents or properties. Parking impacts on the primary function of the road and Roads and Maritime change parking restrictions across the state road network to ensure they are meeting their primary purpose.

The introduction of new and extended clearway does not change the land use, land size or development capacity of your property. As such, we do not expect that changes to parking on the state road would impact on private property values.

The properties facing Warringah Road would be devalued by this proposal. Property owners should be compensated.

Other Clearway proposals

Clearways should be installed on Memorial Avenue, St Ives, north of Killeaton Street.

Memorial Avenue is a local road under the care of council. Roads and Maritime only consider clearways for state roads. We have forwarded your request to council for their consideration.

All major arterial roads into and out of the city should be 24/7 clearways.

As a result of community feedback, Roads and Maritime extended the consultation period. We also held a community information session on Thursday 16 March 2017, to allow community members the opportunity to meet with the project team and discuss the proposal.

Roads and Maritime should install the clearways without community consultation.

Roads and Maritime consults with the local community to understand the concerns and needs of the community, so that feedback can be considered in the final clearway solution, along with the data collected and surveyed for this location.

During the consultation period for this proposal, Roads and Maritime used a number of methods to consult with the community and stakeholders:

x 10,000 Community updates were distributed to residents and businesses in the local area

x community updates were sent to key stakeholders including councils, members of parliament, emergency services, utilities, businesses, education facilities and community groups

x advertisements were placed in the Manly Daily and the North Shore Times to appear on Wednesday 15 February 2017 and Wednesday 22 February 2017

x the project team visited resident representatives in the area during the week of 27 February to 3 March 2017

x a media release was issued.

As a result of community feedback, Roads and Maritime extended the initial consultation period for proposed new and extended clearways on Warringah Road. We also held a community information session on Thursday 16 March 2017, to allow community members the opportunity to meet with the project team and discuss the proposal.

Following the consultation, Roads and Maritime have decided to display the review of environmental factors, which goes into detail on the investigations undertaken for this proposal as well as the methods used. It is available on rms.nsw.gov.au/clearways.

Following the consultation, Roads and Maritime will display the Review of Environmental Factors (REF), which goes into detail on the investigations undertaken for this proposal as well as the methods used. Residents will have the opportunity to comment on the REF and these comments will be reviewed following the close of the display of the REF. We will continue to inform the community on the progress of the proposal.

Provide details of the parking study undertaken on Warringah Road. Roads and Maritime should give community members another opportunity to comment on the proposal after the consultation report is written, and the results of the investigation are made public. How many submissions were for and how many were against the proposal?

We received submissions from 193 people and organisations, raising a number of matters for Roads and Maritime to consider in determining how the proposal should progress. Key matters raised include the proposed clearway hours, parking, safety, and the introduction of clearways on other roads.

Roads and Maritime should have sent an addressed letter to each resident.

We letter box dropped a Have Your Say letter with information about the new and extended clearways to residents within the area shown on the map in Appendix D. Letter box drops are standard practice in notifying the community of proposals. We redistributed to a number of properties after receiving feedback that storms had disrupted distribution.

Notes should have been taken at the community information session.

Community information sessions are an opportunity for residents to get further information, ask questions and better understand the proposal as well as meet with members of the project team one-on-one in person. It is an opportunity for discussion and is not a formal minuted meeting held by Roads and Maritime Services.

At the community session, feedback forms were available for attendees to raise specific issues and were used as formal submissions in the consultation process. We received many additional submissions on the night which have been considered in this report.

Matter raised Roads and Maritimes' response What alternatives are there to introducing

clearways? In order to reduce congestion on state roads there are a number of alternatives to introducing clearways.

These include road widening and intersection upgrades.

In recent years, pinch point intersection improvements have been completed by Roads and Maritime on Warringah Road at Government Road and Arthur Street intersections. Roads and Maritime are also

undertaking a major road widening project on Warringah Road in the vicinity of the Northern Beaches Hospital.

Clearways are a way for us to get more from our existing roads now by allowing the full usage of all lanes on a state road without these expensive infrastructure investments.

Parents regularly park in ‘No Stopping’ zones of Riverhill Avenue to drop children

off to catch buses to school.

Other than drivers of buses, taxis and emergency vehicles dropping off and picking up passengers, vehicles stopping in a ‘No Stopping’ zone are doing so illegally. We recommend that residents raise this

with the NSW Police or Council when they observe these incidents as fines apply for those not obeying the road rules.

Indented bus bays should be installed on Warringah Road as traffic often gets

backed up behind buses stopping.

Whilst this comment is out of scope for the clearway proposal, typically buses are only stopped for a short period of time and do not park in the kerb side lane. Therefore unlike parked vehicles which park for an

extended period of time, the impact of buses is not significant on the flow of traffic. Indented bus bays can help with the flow of traffic when warranted.

Other than the changes to bus facilities as part of the Northern Beaches Hospital Roadworks, there are no plans to indent bus bays on Warringah Road, at this time.

A pedestrian bridge should be built across Starkey Street, to help ease congestion.

Roads and Maritime Services is preparing to remove the pedestrian crossing at the traffic lights across Warringah Road at Starkey Street and install a new pedestrian bridge over Warringah Road east of

Starkey Street. The Starkey Street Pedestrian Bridge will increase transport efficiency on Warringah Road through Forestville, minimise delays, allow for more effective road-based public transport and improve

road safety. For further information on this project, please visit rms.nsw.gov.au/projects/sydney-north/starkey-street/index.html.

Frenchs Forest East needs to be closed for local traffic only, as it will be used as a

‘rat run’ for traffic on Warringah Road. Alternately, the proposed stop lights at

Romford and the Skyline shops need to be completed before clearways are

introduced.

‘Rat running’ is a common outcome of an over-congested main road system. Excess through traffic seeks alternate routes to minimise delays, and in doing so, often use local streets. By improving the reliability

and increasing the capacity of main roads, more road users should stay on the main road rather than ‘rat running’.

Site observations and anecdotal information indicate that existing traffic conditions have encouraged ‘rat running’ in the Warringah Road area to some extent, with through traffic using local roads in order to

bypass congested road sections and intersections. This practice has prompted Council to implement traffic

Table 2 – Out of Scope Comments

Matter raised Roads and Maritimes' response management measures to minimise impacts on local amenity and discourage through traffic from using

these road. It is expected that new and extended clearways, in conjunction with the current roadworks for the Northern Beaches Hospital will help to relieve some of the ‘rat running’ occurring within the area.

The traffic light phase timings at the intersection of Memorial Avenue and

Killeaton Street need to be changed.

Roads and Maritime reviews the timing of the phases for all traffic lights to ensure traffic is managed. The traffic lights are linked to Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS). SCATS is a traffic

management system that synchronises nearby traffic signals to optimise traffic flow across the road network.

Congestion is generally a consequence of significant traffic volumes with insufficient road capacity resulting in major roads such as Warringah Road operating beyond their capacity. As a result, road users

can experience significant delays during peak periods, which are beyond the control of traffic signals.

As a result of the clearway installation, the availability of the kerbside lane on Warringah Road will provide more capacity, reducing delays especially through the traffic lights at the intersections of Government/Ellis

roads, the pedestrian crossing near Daines Parade and Cornish Avenue/Willandra Road.

Changes to these intersections are not part of this proposal and are considered out of scope for this clearways project; however clearway restrictions enable all approach lanes of an intersection to be fully

utilised. This is expected to increase the efficiency of these intersections by maximising the number of vehicles through the intersection on each green traffic light phase.

Turning right out of Government Road is difficult, as the traffic light sequencing is

inadequate. Traffic light phase timing at the

intersection of Ellis Road and Warringah Road needs to be changed.

There are too many signalised intersections.

The traffic light phase timing at the intersection of Warringah Road and

Woodlands Road needs to be assessed. Signalised intersections and crashes on

Warringah Road are the cause of slower travel speeds.

A separated cycleway should be built for bicycles if the new and extended

clearways on Warringah road are to be installed.

Cyclists are permitted to ride on the road under the Australian Road Rules. They must o and may not ride more than two abreast in a traffic lane. When in operation, the clearwa

Right hand turns on all major arterial roads without a right hand turn bay should

no longer be permitted.

Road safety and traffic are key priorities of Roads and Maritime. All right turns on Warringah Road between Roseville Bridge and Beacon Hill Road currently have right turn bays.

Reduce the number of left turns into minor streets.

‘Keep Clear’ signage and road markings should be installed at the intersection of

Warringah Road and Altona Avenue, as during peak times it is very difficult to turn

right from Warringah Road into Altona Avenue.

Queueing across and blocking an intersection is illegal under the Australian Road Rules. NSW Police is responsible for monitoring the road network to ensure users comply with all road rules. We encourage

members of the public to report illegal behaviour on the road network to the police.

An overpass or an underpass should be built at the intersection of Warringah Road

and Woodlands Road.

As part of the Northern Beaches Hospital road upgrade, an underpass will be constructed on Warringah Road between Fitzpatrick Avenue East and east of Wakehurst Parkway.

As Sydney continues to grow over the coming years, clearways are a quick way to get more from existing roads now and help alleviate congestion where a road is carrying traffic close to its capacity. It helps

manage growing congestion by using existing infrastructure.

Overpasses or underpasses should be considered at major intersections along

Warringah Road.

Introducing the new and extended clearways on weekdays between 6am and 7pm and on weekends and public holidays between 9am and 6pm would help manage current traffic flow and will also increase road

capacity. Pedestrian crossings need to be improved

on Warringah Road. New pedestrian bridges are currently planned or under construction on Warringah Road at Starkey Street,

Forest Way and Hilmer Street.

Existing signalised intersections which cater for pedestrians crossing along Warringah Road are located at Beacon Hill Road, Willandra Road, Daines Parade, Government Road, Allambie Road, Wakehurst

Parkway, Hilmer Street, Currie Road, Starkey Street and Darley Street. There are also a number of pedestrian bridges along Warringah Road.

Since the parking of caravans and boats has been restricted in neighbouring

suburbs, a corresponding increase in such parking has resulted in Forestville.

Warringah Road. The lack of parking restrictions in the morning makes this

main road one lane in each direction. The speed limit along Warringah Road

should be reconsidered. In NSW, Roads and Maritime Services is responsible for the setting and signposting of safe and

appropriate speed limits in accordance with NSW Speed Zoning Guidelines.

Speed limits in NSW, as in other parts of Australia, are determined by a number of factors including the road geometry, surrounding conditions, road usage, adjacent development, vehicle types and volumes,

crash history and the number of access points along the route.

Roads and Maritime aims to provide safe and consistent speed limits, for road users, on NSW roads, which accurately reflect the road and surrounding environment in line with the NSW Speed Zoning

Guidelines.

Roads and Maritime reviewed the speed limits on Warringah Road between Eastern Valley Way, Roseville Chase and Pittwater Road, Dee Why in February 2017,

The existing speed limits along Warringah Road have been reviewed in accordance with the NSW Speed Zoning Guidelines and are considered appropriate at this time.

Traffic on Warringah Road will worsen unless a tunnel is built to eliminate the

need for Northern Beaches residents to use the Spit Bridge and Roseville Bridge.

The NSW Government has announced a preferred route and next steps for the proposed Western Harbour Tunnel and Beaches Link project. The proposal has been identified in the 2012 Long Term

Transport Master Plan and other major planning documents as a priority infrastructure project for Sydney.

For further information on this proposal, please visit rms.nsw.gov.au/whtbl Public Transport in the Northern Beaches

needs to be more frequent, more reliable, and more varied in destination, to assist

1. Introduction

In June 2011, the Minister of Roads and Ports announced that a review of the current clearways and

parking restrictions was to be undertaken with a view to developing a new Clearways Strategy for

Sydney. The aim of this was to ultimately improve the efficiency and reliability of the State road

network. This clearways strategy was also to form part of a larger group of initiatives strategically

targeting congestion in and around the Sydney CBD.

On 1 December 2013, the Minister for Roads and Ports officially released the Sydney Clearways

Strategy, Keeping Sydney Moving (referred to further within this report as “The Strategy”)1.

The Strategy identified that congestion costs Sydney residents an estimated $5.1 billion per year2. It

also set out criteria for identifying potential weekday and weekend clearways, a process for engaging

with local stakeholders and a process around supporting funding for providing alternative parking to

minimise impacts on local businesses and residents.

Roads and Maritime Services (Roads and Maritime) has completed the parking investigations, and in

some cases implemented clearways along a number of high priority Sydney Regional corridors being

Victoria Road, the A1 (Princes Highway), the A3 (Pacific Highway, Lane Cove Road and Mona Vale Road),

and Parramatta Road (A4).

PeopleTrans was commissioned by the Roads and Maritime Services (Roads and Maritime) in May 2015

to investigate and analyse the traffic volumes and travel times along Warringah Road and Boundary

Street from Pittwater Road, Brookvale to Pacific Highway, Roseville. This report provides a summary of

the investigations and analysis of the proposed clearway corridor.

The investigation was to be undertaken broadly in accordance with the parking framework appended

to the Strategy but more specifically in accordance with the Roads and Maritime study brief.

Key Study Objective

The key objective of this study was to provide supporting information to Roads and Maritime related

to lane by lane traffic volumes and corridor travel times. This information should allow Roads and

Maritime to determine the feasibility / benefits or otherwise of extending the times or extent of the

existing clearway times on Warringah Road / Boundary Street.

Scope of Works

The following work was undertaken as part of this study:

Tube surveys recording lane-by-lane vehicle volume and speed 24 hours a day for a one-

week period.

Recording of end to end corridor travel times over a 9 day period (including two weekends)

for the time periods indicated in Table 1.1. Surveys were undertaken along the entire

corridor.

Friday 29/05/15 6:00am to 7:00pm


Sunday 31/05/15 8:00am to 8:00pm

It is noted that due to vandalism of survey equipment, a small number of surveys had to be repeated

in the weeks following the intended survey dates identified in Table 1.1. All survey days were

considered ‘typical’ and as such, all the results have been reported as though the surveys occurred on

the days identified in Table 1.1.

Purpose of this Report

This report provides a summary of all investigations and analysis of the proposed clearway corridor

along Boundary Street and Warringah Road from Pacific Highway, Roseville to Pittwater Road,

Brookvale.

15S440 Issue: B - 22/06/17



2. Corridor – Warringah Road / Boundary Street The following sections provide an overview of the investigations of the proposed clearway corridor

which runs along Warringah Road / Boundary Street from Pittwater Road, Brookvale to Pacific Highway,

Roseville, hereafter referred to as ‘the corridor.’

Route Overview

The corridor is approximately 12.1km long and extends from Pittwater Road in Brookvale to Pacific

Highway in Roseville as indicated in Figure 2.1. For the purposes of this study this equates to a total

study length of 24.2km. There is one strip commercial / retail area along the route which is identified

by the red circle in Figure 2.1.

The corridor is currently subject to the following weekday clearway restrictions:

From Pacific Highway to Duntroon Avenue operating Monday to Friday from 6:00am to

10:00am and from 3:00pm to 7:00pm in both directions.

From Duntroon Avenue to Forest Way operating Monday to Friday from 6:00am to 10:00am

in a westbound direction and 3:00pm to 7:00pm in an eastbound direction.

East of Forest Way, the corridor is not subject to any signed clearway restrictions (although

there are some faded clearway pavement markings towards Wakehurst Parkway).

The corridor is contained within the Northern Beaches, Willoughby and Ku-Ring-Gai Local Government

Areas.

Figure 2.1: Corridor Overview – Warringah Road / Boundary Street from Pittwater Road to Pacific Highway

15S440 Issue: B - 22/06/17



The proposed clearway corridor has the following attributes:

Total distance of approximately 24.2km (two-way).

A total of 1 strip retail / commercial area.

Long stretches of residential properties.

Existing weekday clearway restrictions covering part of the corridor west of Forest Way.

No clearway parking restrictions on the corridor east of Forest Way (although other timed

parking restrictions apply).

3. Survey Analysis and Summary Results

The surveys and data collected as part of this study is summarised in Table 3.1.

A summary analysis of the data collected is provided in the following sections.

Travel Time Surveys

PeopleTrans reviewed the video recorded during the driving surveys to determine the travel time from

the start to the end of the route, in both the westbound and eastbound direction. Travel times were

determined for the four weekend survey days and the five weekday survey days. The timing points are

identified in Figure 3.1. Detailed travel time survey results are provided in Appendix A.

The reason that the travel time surveys were not extended to all the way to Pacific Highway is that

parking is not permitted during the study hours and no vehicles were observed parking on Boundary

Street between Pacific Highway and Addison Road.

Table 3.2 indicates that average and median travel times are higher on a Saturday than on a Sunday by

approximately 30 seconds in the westbound direction.

Overall, parked cars were observed to cause limited delay as the main source of delay on the route was

the timing of the traffic signals and intersection throughput. Through put of intersections could be

increased by removing adjacent parking.

2 runs on Saturday 23/5/15 (12:00pm and 2:00pm)

A review of the video indicated that the delay in the 12:00pm travel time run was caused by parked

cars between Allambie Road and Ellis Road. A source of the travel time delays on the 2:00pm run on

Saturday 23/5/15 was traffic signals timing and throughput, though throughput of the intersection may

be increased by removal of adjacent parking.

Figure 3.11 indicates that typically, eastbound travel time runs, although exhibiting a general trend

across the day (higher in the morning and afternoon peak periods than the middle of the day) were

variable for runs that start at the same time of the day.

Runs which were slower than the 30 km/h average were as follows:

2 runs on Monday 25/5/15 (8:00am and 11:00am)

5 runs on Friday 29/5/15 (8:00am to 9:00am and 2:00pm to 4:00pm)

The reason for delay and travel time variation was the timing of the traffic lights and intersection

throughput, and the general level of traffic. Through put of intersections could be increased by

removing adjacent parking. In addition, heavy vehicles travelling at the reduced heavy vehicle speed

limit (20km/h) on the downhill approach to Pittwater Road caused delays to vehicles, although was not

consistently observed.

Tube Surveys

PeopleTrans commissioned the Centre for Excellence (CFE) to undertake tube surveys on Warringah

Road / Boundary Street to determine the amount of traffic for each lane in an eastbound and a

westbound direction. The tube survey was undertaken in consultation with Roads and Maritime on

Warringah Road immediately south of Valley Road. The tube survey was undertaken in this location to

provide a reference point for the parking adjacent to the East Roseville Shopping Centre.

The results are summarised in in the following sections. The location of the tube surveys is shown in

Figure 3.14 and Figure 3.15. Detailed tube survey results are provided in Appendix B. For the results

in Appendix B, the northbound direction of the tube survey corresponds eastbound vehicle travel and

the southbound tube surveys correspond westbound vehicle travel.

Volume Guidelines for the Provision of Clearways

Australian Standard Parking Facilities Part 5: On-street parking Table 5.1 indicates the traffic volumes

at which a clearway lane should start to operate to ensure an extra lane is available for moving traffic.

The relevant information from the table is reproduced as Table 3.4.

An assessment of the relevant volume guidelines considering the number of lanes available on the

corridor is set out in the following sections. Warringah Road / Boundary Street has 3 lanes in the

westbound and eastbound directions for the majority of the corridor. One 4 lane section in the

westbound direction was identified between Ormonde Road and Clive Street. One 2 lane section was

also identified in the westbound and eastbound direction between Macquarie Street and Pacific

Highway. The volume criteria of 1,600 vehicles / hour should apply for most of the corridor.

Tube Survey Results

A summary of the volume data for the corridor is provided in Figure 3.16 to Figure 3.31.

Westbound Survey Results

A summary of the traffic volume data covering the entire survey week in the westbound direction along

the corridor is provided in Figure 3.16 to Figure 3.23.

Figure 3.16 to Figure 3.19 indicate the following for the surveyed days:

Very similar peak volumes and daily volume profiles across the week with a slightly lower

peak volume on the surveyed Friday compared to the other days of the week.

There is no apparent reason for the variation on the surveyed Thursday in the kerb and

middle lane volumes. It is likely to be a result of varied vehicle destination on the road

network.

The kerbside lane exceeds 800 vehicles per hour during the 7:00am to 10:00am peak period

only.

The middle lane exceeds 800 vehicles per hour from 7:00am to 7:00pm.

The median lane exceeds 800 vehicles per hour from 7:00am to 11:00am and from 4:00pm

to 6:00pm.

The combined traffic volume of all lanes exceeds 1,600 vehicles per hour from around 6:30am

to 7:00pm.

The combined traffic volume of all lanes exceeds 2,400 vehicles per hour from 7:00am to

11:00am and from 4:00pm to 6:00pm.

Next Steps

This report provides a good basis for Roads and Maritime to commence discussions with affected

Councils and the wider community regarding the implementation of clearways along Warringah Road

/ Boundary Street.

This report is based on surveys undertaken in May 2015. It does not consider any proposals by Council

or private developments which could impact on the parking demand, both now and in the future, within

the vicinity of the proposed clearway corridor.

Sydney Clearways Strategy, Warringah Road from Pittwater Road, Brookvale to Roseville Bridge, Killarney Heights, Data Report – Parking

Analysis Page 1

1. Introduction

In June 2011, the Minister of Roads and Ports announced that a review of the current clearways and

parking restrictions was to be undertaken with a view to developing a new Clearways Strategy for

Sydney. The aim of this was to ultimately improve the efficiency and reliability of the State road

network. This clearways strategy was also to form part of a larger group of initiatives strategically

targeting congestion in and around the Sydney CBD.

On 1 December 2013, the Minister for Roads and Ports officially released the Sydney Clearways

Strategy, Keeping Sydney Moving (referred to further within this report as “The Strategy”)1.

The Strategy identified that congestion costs Sydney residents an estimated $5.1 billion per year2. It

also set out criteria for identifying potential weekday and weekend clearways, a process for engaging

with local stakeholders and a process around supporting funding for providing alternative parking to

minimise impacts on local businesses and residents.

Roads and Maritime Services (Roads and Maritime) has completed investigations, and in some cases

implemented clearways along a number of high priority Sydney Regional corridors being Victoria Road,

the A1 (Princes Highway), the A3 (Pacific Highway, Lane Cove Road and Mona Vale Road), and

Parramatta Road (A4).

PeopleTrans was commissioned by the Roads and Maritime Services (Roads and Maritime) in May 2015

to investigate the parking demand and parking duration along Warringah Road and Boundary Street

from Roseville Bridge, Killarney Heights to Pittwater Road, Brookvale. This report provides a summary

of the investigations and analysis of the proposed clearway corridor.

The investigation was to be undertaken broadly in accordance with the parking framework appended

to the Strategy but more specifically in accordance with the Roads and Maritime study brief.

Introduction

15S440 B - 22/06/17


Analysis Page 2

Key Study Objective

The key objective of this study was to provide supporting information to Roads and Maritime related

to parking demand and duration of stay and alternative parking options if parking was removed from

the corridor. This information should allow Roads and Maritime to determine the feasibility / benefits

or otherwise of extending the times or extent of the existing clearway times on Warringah Road.

Scope of Works

The following work was undertaken as part of this study:

An inventory of the on-street parking supply, including details of the various parking

restrictions and current clearways.

Identification of parking type (unrestricted, short-term, long-term, staff, customer etc.)

Parking demand and duration of stay surveys over a 9 day period (including two weekends)

for the time periods indicated in Table 1.1. Surveys were undertaken along the entire

corridor.

Friday 29/05/15 6:00am to 7:00pm


Sunday 31/05/15 8:00am to 8:00pm

Analysis of survey data

Identification of whether there was sufficient parking to cater for removal of business parking

on Warringah Road with no changes.

Identification of additional measures required to cater for removal of business parking on

Warringah Road if existing parking arrangements were not considered satisfactory.

Purpose of this Report

This report provides a summary of all investigations and analysis of the corridor along Warringah Road

from Pittwater Road, Brookvale to Roseville Bridge, Killarney Heights.

Proposed Clearway Corridor – Warringah Road

15S440 B - 22/06/17


Analysis Page 3

2. Proposed Clearway Corridor – Warringah Road

The following sections provide an overview of the investigations of the corridor which runs along

Warringah Road from Pittwater Road, Brookvale to Roseville Bridge, Killarney Heights, hereafter

referred to as ‘the corridor.’

Route Overview

The corridor is approximately 9km long and extends from Pittwater Road in Brookvale to the start of

Roseville Bridge in Killarney Heights as indicated in Figure 2.1. For the purposes of this study, including

the assessment of parking in both the westbound and the eastbound directions this equates to a total

study length of 18km.

The corridor is currently subject to the following weekday clearway restrictions:

From Roseville Bridge to Forest Way operating Monday to Friday from 6:00am to 10:00am

in a westbound direction and 3:00pm to 7:00pm in an eastbound direction.

East of Forest Way, the corridor is not subject to any signed clearway restrictions (although

there are some faded clearway pavement markings towards Wakehurst Parkway).

The corridor is contained within the Northern Beaches Local Government Area.

Figure 2.1: Corridor Overview –Warringah Rd – Roseville Bridge to Pittwater Rd

Legend

Corridor

The proposed clearway corridor has the following attributes:

Total distance of approximately 18.0 km (two-way).

Long stretches of residential properties.

Existing weekday clearway restrictions covering part of the corridor west of Forest Way.

No clearway parking restrictions on the corridor east of Forest Way.

On-Street / Public Parking Inventory

In May 2015 an inventory of the parking supply along the proposed clearway corridor was recorded by

PeopleTrans. Details of the parking inventory (parking supply and restrictions) are provided in Figure

2.2 and Figure 2.5.

Where, on occasion, signs were missing or inconsistent with the Australian Standards, the intended

parking restriction was recorded. That is for example, where a “No Stopping” sign was missing but the

section of road was intended to be “No Stopping”, that restriction was adopted.

The methodology and assumptions used in calculating the parking supply for the corridor was as

follows:

PeopleTrans walked the entire length of the route (two-way) and measured the available

parking spaces.

Where cars were parked, these were also used as the basis for calculating the car parking

supply.

Where no cars were parked, the car parking supply was calculated using on site

measurements with reference to the Australian and NSW Road Rules and AS2890.5-1993

On-street parking as follows:

10m No Stopping restrictions at uncontrolled side street intersections

20m No Stopping restrictions on the approach and exit to traffic signals

30m Bus Zones

Assumed car parking space lengths of 5.4m for end spaces and 6.5m for midblock

spaces.

Indented parking or parking that would not be affected by new clearways was not included

in the inventory or was identified separately.

Off-Street Parking Inventory

PeopleTrans has undertaken a review of properties likely to be affected by the proposed extension of

the clearways to determine the existing off-street parking supply and whether, with minor

modifications additional parking supply could be achieved.

Each property was reviewed between Allambie Road and Pittwater Road to determine the minimum

available off-street parking. All properties identified by the Warringah LEP maps have off-street

parking.

It is noted that 271A Warringah Road, Beacon Hill may have shared parking facilities with 271

Warringah Road. This property appears to be a single dwelling however there are two letter boxes

on the driveway which suggests that the house has been separated internally. The Warringah LEP maps

show that this is a single lot / property.

Survey of Demand and Duration of Stay

Driving surveys of the entire corridor were undertaken during the times indicated in Table 2.1, to

identify the parking demand and duration of stay at hourly intervals for the length of the survey period.

This was done to identify the demand of spaces outside retail areas.

Friday 29/5/15 10:00am to 7:00pm


Sunday 31/5/15 8:00am to 8:00pm

During the driving surveys, a small number of videos did not record correctly due to equipment error.

The small number of surveys were repeated during typical weeks in June 2015. All survey days are

considered ‘typical’ and have been reported as though all surveys occurred during the period 23 May

to 31 May 2015.

Parking Survey Analysis and Summary Results

Analysis Page 10

3. Parking Survey Analysis and Summary Results

The entire corridor was surveyed at hourly intervals by in-car video camera. The footage was used to

identify the demand and duration of stay of cars parked at hourly intervals at any location along the

corridor.

Parking Outside the Retail Areas

To understand the amount of car parking occurring outside the retail areas, PeopleTrans and Austraffic

undertook surveys using an in-car video camera. The entire corridor was driven commencing on the

hour for the entire survey period (9 days). PeopleTrans reviewed the hourly video data to determine

the type of car, location and duration of stay for all vehicles. The results of the surveys are summarised

in the following sections.

Typical Location of Parking

Across the 9 survey days, there were locations where parking often occurred, and for a significant

amount of the corridor no parking was observed at any time. These parking locations were primarily

adjacent to residential properties. Figure 3.1 indicates that parking was typically observed in eight

locations as follows:

Location A – Between Government Road and Allambie Road

Location B – Between Willandra Road and Government Road

Location C – Between Alfred Street and Princess Mary Street

Location D – Between Pittwater Road and Alfred Street

Location E – Between Alfred Street and Pittwater Road

Location F – Between McKillop Road and Alfred Street

Location G – Between Ellis Road and Willandra Road

Location H – Between Allambie Road and Ellis Road

Through a review of the videos, a number of the same vehicles were observed throughout the week

and on weekends parking in the same location. These vehicles were parked outside residential

properties and it is assumed that they are residential vehicles.

Trucks were also parked for long periods on Warringah Road near Pittwater Road and these are

assumed to be associated with the nearby Brookvale industrial area.

Duration of stay on average per vehicle is almost identical on weekdays and on weekends.

A summary of the parking survey results is provided in Table 3.1.

4. Summary of Analysis

Parking Sufficiency of Nearby Locations

Outside Retail Area

In respect of the parking outside retail areas, all of the properties surveyed between Allambie Road

and Pittwater Road have some level of off-street car parking. Additional parking is also available in

nearby side-streets throughout the week.

Through on-site observations and review of aerial photography (NearMap) if additional clearways are

implemented it appears likely that there are sufficient spaces either on private properties or in nearby

side streets to cater for the State Road parking demand between Allambie Road and Pittwater Road.

For the monthly Warringah Markets, parking is available in Ellis Road, Government Road and Dareen

Street however we have not surveyed the demand in these streets at the peak market time.

East of Beacon Hill Road there were a high percentage of heavy vehicles parked and there was no

immediate area where these vehicles could be relocated. If Roads and Maritime decide to implement

a clearway on Warringah Road east of Beacon Hill Road, a commercial parking area is likely to be

required to replace the trucks and commercial vehicles that are assumed to be from the businesses in

the Brookvale industrial area. It is likely that the heavy vehicles are parked in this location because

there is insufficient space on each individual property.

Next Steps

This report provides a good basis for Roads and Maritime to commence discussions with affected

Councils and the wider community regarding the implementation of clearways along Warringah Road.

This report is based on surveys undertaken in May 2015. It does not consider any proposals by Council

or private developments which could impact on the parking demand, both now and in the future, within

the vicinity of the proposed clearway corridor.

Caveat The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at the end of the report.

This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determining obligations under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It holds mapped locations of World and National Heritage properties, Wetlands of International and National Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine species and listed threatened ecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at this stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at various resolutions.

Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a general guide only. Where available data supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from the data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making a referral may need to consider the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.

For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point location data are used to produce indicative distribution maps.

Threatened, migratory and marine species distributions have been derived through a variety of methods. Where distributions are well known and if time permits, maps are derived using either thematic spatial data (i.e. vegetation, soils, geology, elevation, aspect, terrain, etc) together with point locations and described habitat; or environmental modelling (MAXENT or BIOCLIM habitat modelling) using point locations and environmental data layers.

Where very little information is available for species or large number of maps are required in a short time-frame, maps are derived either from 0.04 or 0.02 decimal degree cells; by an automated process using polygon capture techniques (static two kilometre grid cells, alpha-hull and convex hull); or captured manually or by using topographic features (national park boundaries, islands, etc). In the early stages of the distribution mapping process (1999-early 2000s) distributions were defined by degree blocks, 100K or 250K map sheets to rapidly create distribution maps. More reliable distribution mapping methods are used to update these distributions as time permits.

Only selected species covered by the following provisions of the EPBC Act have been mapped:

- migratory and

- marine

The following species and ecological communities have not been mapped and do not appear in reports produced from this database:

- threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants

- some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed

- some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area

- migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers

The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species:

- non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites

- seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent

Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.
