1. Introduction

1.1 Background Transport for NSW, through the Transport Projects Division, is undertaking the Transport Access Program in NSW. The objective of the program is to provide better access to, within and around public transport interchanges, railway stations and surrounding station precincts, along with improvements in the station amenity, as well as incorporating additional staff and customer facilities.

Kellogg Brown Root Pty Ltd (KBR) has been engaged by Transport for NSW to prepare a Reference Design and associated technical documentation for the Flemington Station Precinct Easy Access Upgrade in Homebush West. In turn, KBR engaged GTA Consultants (GTA) as a subconsultant to undertake a Traffic, Transport and Access Impact Assessment (TT&AIA) Study with the view of informing the Reference Design, as well as to provide input into the preparation of a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) for the upgrade project.

The proposed Easy Access Upgrade Project (the ‘Project’) at Flemington Station and the surrounding interchange precinct includes the following features:

• Relocation of concourse and stairs/demolition of existing concourse structure. • Provision of lifts. • Improvement of existing pedestrian facilities to provide a more efficient link between

interchange facilities. • Realignment of The Crescent to facilitate pedestrian movements. • Provision of new interchange facilities such as kiss and ride and bicycle storage. • Provision of a family accessible toilet in the paid area of the station.

1.2 Project Objectives The overall objectives of the Reference Design for the Project include:

• Improving the customer experience (specifically by provision of canopies, improved interchange facilities and a high standard of urban design).

• Improving accessibility and compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport (DSAPT).

• Improving modal access facilities and integration with surrounding precinct. • Where possible, increasing station capacity to address identified congestion issues (if

any) and to accommodate patronage growth to 2036. • Upgrading transport modal interchange facilities and equipment to current standards. • Improving amenity for customers, including general access to the station and precinct

facilities. • Facilitating future unmanned station operation through rationalisation of all station

systems including security, ticketing and passenger information display. • Reviewing precinct facilities for life expired elements and recommending appropriate

action. • Balancing the cost of ownership and maintenance with capital cost. • Providing documentation and data inputs into the TfNSW Review of Environmental

Factors (REF) to secure planning approval.

Introduction


• Minimising construction stage impacts on passengers and station operations.

Specific design objectives include:

• Verifying compliance with functional and operational requirements. • Promoting efficient and effective way-finding. • Minimising impacts to The Crescent road curtilage, in particular on-street parking. • Minimising pedestrian conflict, congestion and crowding points. • Minimising queuing at station and interchange facilities. • Increasing accessibility for commuters with mobility impairment. • Accommodating growth of patronage and changing travel and working patterns. • Improving station functionality, covering improved access to ticketing, platform

clearance rates and station control (including congestion and pinch points).

1.3 Purpose of This Report This report sets out an assessment of the traffic, transport and access impacts associated with the proposed upgrade works at Flemington Station and the surrounding public transport interchange and precinct, and identifies opportunities for more efficient transport interchange to meet customer requirements. This assessment covers both the construction stage and the operational stage of the project.

2. Existing Conditions

2.1 Site Context Flemington Railway Station is located in the suburb of Homebush West (the previous name of which was Flemington). It is in the Strathfield local government area (LGA), approximately 16 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district.

Flemington Railway Station is located between Homebush and Lidcombe Railway Stations on the Sydney Trains T2 Inner West and South Line. It is currently the 75th busiest station within the Sydney Trains network, with about 6,420 passengers recorded entering and exiting the station during an average weekday in 2011.

Flemington Railway Station is bounded by The Crescent to the south, where surrounding land is zoned as mixed use to medium residential, and Sydney Markets (previously Flemington Markets) to the north, where land use is classified as special activities.

To the south of the station and interchange, Henley Road intersects with The Crescent, forming a T-intersection. Both Henley Road and The Crescent are two-way roads (one lane in each direction), with kerbside parking on both sides. Parking time limits range from 30-minutes to one hour.

The roads in the interchange precinct are zoned with 50 km/h speed limits.

Figure 2.1 shows a map of the road network surrounding Flemington Railway Station and precinct (in red circle).

2.2 Existing Station and Interchange Facilities Figure 2.2 provides a summary of the existing station and interchange facilities available at Flemington Railway Station, as gathered from the Sydney Trains website.

Existing Conditions

Source: Sydney Trains (http://www.sydneytrains.info/stations/station_details.htm)

2.3 Passenger Rail Services Flemington Station, on the T2 Inner West and South Line, provides Campbelltown-bound train services every 10-15 minutes between 6am and 12:45pm, and every 30 minutes between 4am and 6am.

City-bound services are provided every 10-15 minutes between 2pm and 8:40pm and every 30 minutes outside this period.

Services to other major destinations that are not on the T2 line would require transfers at key rail interchanges such as Strathfield, Lidcombe or Granville.

2.4 Bus Services and Facilities Bus services are provided at a bus zone with capacity for two buses and located adjacent to the existing station entrance on the north side of The Crescent, to the east of the intersection with Henley Road. Service routes include route 408 (Sydney Buses, Burwood-Rookwood). The return journey does not pass directly outside The Crescent, due to the tight left-turn bus manoeuvre required at the Henley Road/The Crescent intersection. Bus Route 408 turns south instead on Hampstead Road from The Crescent, then west on Exeter Road then onto southbound Henley Road.

Existing Conditions

holidays. These use a designated bus stop on the south side of The Crescent, east of the Henley Road intersection.

The bus zone on the north side of The Crescent is also used by Star City shuttle buses and shuttle buses operated by Sydney Markets.

A bus shelter with seating is provided at the bus zone on the north side of The Crescent. However, the location and design of the existing bus shelter presents potential security issues, as it provides limited passive surveillance opportunity. The shelter’s walls limits views to/from the surrounding areas.

Figure 2.4 shows an image of the bus zone outside Flemington Railway Station, while Figure 2.5 shows a close-up image of the bus shelter.

Existing Conditions


Figure 2.5: Existing Bus Shelter on The Crescent

2.5 Taxi Facilities A taxi rank with capacity for two taxis is located adjacent to the station entrance on the north side of The Crescent.

The taxi rank is provided with the regulatory “Taxi Zone” signage, as well as a shelter and seating. The shelter however, does not allow adequate space to accommodate people with disabilities and there are no kerb ramps.

Figure 2.6 shows the existing taxi zone and taxi shelter outside Flemington Railway Station.

Existing Conditions


Figure 2.6: Existing Taxi Rank

2.6 Kiss and Ride There is no existing Kiss and Ride facility available at Flemington. However, car drivers have been observed to use the taxi rank as an informal drop-off zone for their passengers, noting that the taxi rank is often unoccupied during weekdays, with limited taxi demand observed.

2.7 Parking Facilities

2.7.1 Vehicle Parking There are no formal commuter car parking facilities are available in the interchange precinct. Time-restricted on-street parking is available on The Crescent and on Henley Road. The restrictions are generally either 30-minutes or 1-hour time limits, with limited spaces on The Crescent for 15-minute parking.

Unrestricted parking is available on the streets surrounding the shopping precinct. Further parking is available at the Homebush West Shopping Precinct car park with a 2-hour time limit. Access to the shopping precinct car park is on Henley Road and Exeter Road.

Pedestrians have been observed to frequently pass through this car park as a short cut to Flemington Station.

Figure 2.7 shows the parking time restrictions in the Flemington Station Precinct.

Existing Conditions

2.7.2 Bicycle Parking There are no formal bicycle parking facilities available in the immediate vicinity of the station.

Observations from site visits indicate that customers use the existing fencing outside the station to chain/secure bicycles, as shown in Figure 2.8.

Up to 12 bicycles have been observed to be informally parked at the station precinct (chained to the railway fence) during the site investigation (weekday).

2.8 Pedestrian Access and Facilities

2.8.1 Existing Station Access

Existing access to the station is achieved via two locations:

• stairway from The Crescent near the bus zone and pedestrian crossing • footbridge linking the station concourse with Sydney Markets.

The footbridge is used by market goers, and previous sample surveys indicate pedestrian volumes of more than 1,000 pedestrians per hour (both directions) during busy weekends.

2.8.2 Disability Access

Flemington Station’s existing facilities do not accommodate disability access requirements.

A large part of the project is to comply with the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA, 1992) and the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport (DSAPT, 2002), and provide equitable access to the transport interchange.

The proposed improvements are discussed in Section 3.

2.8.3 Pedestrian Desire Lines

Figure 2.9 shows the key pedestrian desire lines accessing Flemington Railway Station and Precinct. These include:

• To/from residential and commercial developments in the Centenary Drive area, via The Crescent (north side).

Existing Conditions


• To/from Henley Road and retail area, accessed via the pedestrian crossing on the east side of the intersection of Henley Road and The Crescent.

• To/from Homebush Boys High School further to the east on The Crescent, via the pedestrian crossing and the footpath on The Crescent (east).

• To/from Sydney Markets via the station concourse and footbridge (particularly during weekends).

2.9.2 Sydney Markets Pedestrian Demand

The Flemington Station concourse is currently used by pedestrians to access Sydney Markets from The Crescent, via an elevated pedestrian walkway linking the station concourse with the pedestrian network within Sydney Markets, located to the north of the station.

It has been observed that during weekends, a high level of pedestrian demand associated with activity at Sydney Markets passes through Flemington Station. Previous surveys undertaken by Sydney Markets Ltd2 indicate that the Saturday pedestrian flows on the Sydney Markets footbridge builds up during the morning, peaks at around 12:00 noon, and thereafter drops significantly after 2:00pm.

This is shown in Figure 2.12.

Sample Pedestrian Counts Site observations also support the survey findings that the market-related pedestrian demand through Flemington Station is generally limited during weekdays.

In order to assess the implications of weekend customer demand at Flemington, a sample pedestrian count was undertaken by GTA Consultants on a Saturday, between 11:00am and 2:00pm, for the volumes of pedestrian movements between three reference points:

• Platforms 3 and 4 (Platform, P) • SML Pedestrian Footbridge (Markets, M) • Stairs to/from The Crescent (Street, S)

These are shown in Figure 2.13.

The sample counts indicate that the peak hourly volume occurs during the hour from 12:15 to 13:15, with 1,120 pedestrians accessing Sydney Markets (776 to/from the platform and 344 to/from The Crescent stairs).

Other Observations During the sample pedestrian counts, it was also observed that a significant number of pedestrians accessing Sydney Markets were carrying folding-type shopping carts, boxes of groceries and/or other bulky packages. This is to be expected at a market. There are significant capacity implications with people moving slower and taking up more space.

2.9.3 Station Precinct Pedestrian Flows

Sample pedestrian surveys were undertaken along key pedestrian desire lines in the station precinct, focused on the pedestrian crossings outside the station entry and on Henley Road. Sample weekday counts were undertaken on Friday 26 June 2014, from 7:15am to 1pm and 3-6pm. Sample weekend pedestrian counts were undertaken on Saturday 27 June 2014 from 11am to 2pm.

The pedestrian routes covered in the survey were:

The Crescent pedestrian crossing/Station entry

1. From the east to the station on the north side of The Crescent, (same side as station). 2. From the west to the station on the north side of The Crescent, (same side as

station). 3. From the east to the station on the south side of The Crescent (across pedestrian

crossing). 4. From the west to the station on the south side of The Crescent (across pedestrian

The key observations from the station precinct pedestrian counts include:

• Up to 475 pedestrians use the crossing on The Crescent during the peak weekday hour (7:45–8:45am)

• More than 550 pedestrians use the same crossing during the peak weekend hour (12:15–1:15pm)

• A lower number use the crossing on Henley Road. The weekday peak was between 12–1pm (295 pedestrians) while the weekend peak was from 12:30–1:30pm (461 pedestrians)

• Over the seven-hour weekday survey period, a total of 2,055 pedestrians were recorded using the crossing on The Crescent. About 49 percent, or 1,009 pedestrians were heading to/from the direction of Henley Road (west). About 51 percent, or 1,046, were headed to/from the east.

• Over the three-hour weekend survey period, a total of 1,539 pedestrians were recorded using the crossing on The Crescent. About 49 percent, or 757 pedestrians were heading to/from the direction of Henley Road (west). About 51 percent, or 782 were headed to/from the east.

• A lower volume of pedestrians were observed to be using the Henley Road pedestrian crossing. A total of 1,255 pedestrians was recorded crossing during the seven-hour weekday survey period, while 1,198 were counted during the three-hour weekend survey period.

Pedestrian desire lines to/from the station entry vary depending on time period of the day. Peak desire lines by time period are:

Weekday AM period (7:15–9am):

• To/from the west on the north side of The Crescent (station side) (414 pedestrians) • To/from the east on the south side of The Crescent (340 pedestrians).

Weekday mid-day period (11am–2pm):

• To/from the west on the south side of The Crescent (234) • To/from the east on the south side of The Crescent (198).

Weekday PM period (3–6pm):

• To/from the east on the south side of The Crescent (508) • To/from the west on the south side of The Crescent (472).

Saturday mid-day period (11am–2pm):

• To/from the east on the south side of The Crescent (782)

2.10 To/from the west on the south side of The Crescent (757).Road Network

The road network surrounding Flemington Station and Precinct are focused on the south side of the railway line. To the north of the railway line and the station lies Sydney Markets, which is linked to Flemington Station by a pedestrian footbridge.

The key roads surrounding the station include The Crescent, Henley Road, Hornsey Road and Hampstead Road.

Existing Conditions


The Crescent is a local road aligned in an east-west orientation parallel to and running adjacent to the railway line. It is zoned with 50 km/h speed limits, and links the suburb of Homebush West with Homebush. Outside Flemington Station, land uses along The Crescent include retail and light commercial. Time-restricted kerbside parking is provided along The Crescent between Hornsey Road and Hampstead Road.

Hornsey Road, Henley Road and Hampstead Road are all oriented in a general north-south direction, each running parallel to the others. They link The Crescent with Arthur Street, which provides access to the wider subregion, linking with Centenary Drive (Route A3) and Strathfield.

All three are local roads administered by Strathfield Municipal Council. All are posted with 50 km/h speed limits. A school zone is also designated along Hornsey Road.

The intersection of Henley Road and Arthur Street is signalised, while the intersections of Hornsey Road and Hampstead Road with Arthur Street are priority-controlled. As such, Henley Road functions as the key traffic access route to Flemington Station from Arthur Street.

The intersection of Henley Road and Hampstead Road with The Crescent are priority controlled, while the intersection of Hornsey Road and The Crescent is roundabout-controlled.

There is limited traffic count information available for these local roads. However, a traffic study for a proposed development in Homebush West undertaken in January 2011 indicate the following surveyed traffic volumes at key locations:

• The Crescent west of Bridge Road, Homebush: • 373 vehicles (two-way) on a weekday, 6–7pm • 372 vehicles (two-way) on a Saturday, 8–9am • 480 vehicles (two-way) on a Saturday, 12–1pm. • Henley Road at Arthur Street: • 282 vehicles (two-way) on a weekday, 6–7pm • 204 vehicles (two-way) on a Saturday, 8–9am • 239 vehicles (two-way) on a Saturday, 12–1pm.

2.10.1 Intersection Operation

Traffic count surveys were undertaken at the intersection of Henley Road and The Crescent to supplement the desktop research. These intersection turning movement counts were undertaken 7–9am and 4:30–6pm on Tuesday 3 June 2014, and 12:30–2pm on Saturday 21 June 2014.

The results of the vehicle counts are as shown in Table 2.7.

From Table 2.9, it can be seen that the intersection currently operates at Level of Service A for all three peak periods assessed.

Proposed Interchange Improvements


3. Proposed Interchange Improvements Figure 3.1 illustrates the proposed changes and improvements at Flemington Railway Station and Interchange Precinct, as part of the Project. A larger scale version is provided in Appendix A.

Figure 3.1: Layout and Design of Proposed Improvements

Source: Designinc

The key improvements relating to traffic, transport and access that are included in the project (numbers are as shown in Figure 3.1) are:

1. Provision of a new and expanded station concourse located to the west of the existing one, relocation of the stairways linking with The Crescent and the platforms.

2. Provision of a new accessible, wider and more direct footbridge linking the proposed station concourse with the portion of the existing footbridge within the Sydney Markets property.

3. Provision of new passenger lifts at Platform 1&2, Platform 3&4 and on The Crescent. 4. Demolition of the existing station concourse and portion of the footbridge linking

with Sydney Markets. 5. Provision of an accessible drop-off space on The Crescent adjacent to the

proposed lift. 6. Relocation of the existing taxi rank from east of the intersection to the west of the

proposed accessible drop-off space. 7. Provision of a kiss-and-ride space west of the proposed taxi rank. 8. Relocation of the existing pedestrian crossing on The Crescent to be closer to the

Henley Road/The Crescent intersection. 9. Relocation of the bus zone to the west, to be nearer the proposed stairway landing

area. 10. Provision of bicycle parking facilities.

NORTH



Station Concourse The project involves the provision of an expanded station concourse to the west of the existing location. The concourse would be linked to the platforms and to the interchange on The Crescent with new stairs and passenger lifts, and to Sydney Markets with a new footbridge link (within the Sydney Trains property). The station concourse would not be staffed, but would be provided with passenger information and ticketing facilities.

Sydney Markets Footbridge The proposed concourse will be linked with the portion of the existing footbridge within the Sydney Markets property via a proposed accessible footbridge.

The footbridge would be widened from the existing 2m to 2.8m, to allow more space for pedestrians. The proposed improvement aims to create more efficient management of pedestrian flow by decreasing the distance and time taken to cross the railway station.

Passenger Lifts Three (3) new passenger lifts would be provided, linking the proposed concourse with Platform 1&2, Platform 3&4 and the transport interchange on The Crescent.

The lifts linking with Platform 3&4 and the interchange on The Crescent are likely to be more heavily used, compared with the lift linking with Platform 1&2. Based on observations of likely customer requirements, it is anticipated that the Platform 3&4 and The Crescent interchange lifts would need to be the larger 27-person capacity lifts.

Demolition of Existing Concourse With the completion of the proposed new concourse, the redundant (existing) station concourse would be demolished.

Accessible Drop-off An accessible drop-off/pick-up space is proposed, to enhance accessibility of the station and transport interchange. This is proposed to be located at the nearest available kerbside space relative to the lift location.

Taxi Rank The relocation of the stairway landing on the transport interchange side of the station would require the relocation of the taxi rank, in order to provide efficient access. This is proposed to be located at the rear of the proposed accessible drop-off space.

The capacity of the existing taxi rank, i.e. space for two taxis, is proposed to be maintained.

Kiss-and-Ride A kiss-and-ride space at the rear of the taxi rank on the north side of The Crescent is proposed to be provided, in order to improve interchange functionality.

Relocation of Pedestrian Crossing The existing pedestrian crossing on the east side of The Crescent/Henley Road intersection is proposed to be moved to the east in order to be located closer to the stairway landing.

The new pedestrian crossing would be located such that the rear of a bus or large vehicle turning right from Henley Road to The Crescent should not straddle across the existing pedestrian crossing



on Henley Road when it needs to stop to allow pedestrians to cross The Crescent at the new crossing.

Bus Zone The existing bus zone, with a capacity for two buses, is proposed to be relocated closer to the stairway landing, i.e. moved west. The proposed bus zone would retain the two-bus capacity, with requires a bus zone length of 35 metres, as per Sydney Buses guidelines.

Bicycle Parking New bicycle parking facilities are proposed to be provided underneath the proposed stairways linking with The Crescent.

Other Transport Facilities Also proposed as part of the Flemington Station upgrade are new toilet facilities, the installation of the Opal System and improved passenger information systems.

Construction Stage Impacts


4. Construction Stage Impacts

4.1 Construction Arrangements The construction of the proposed Flemington Railway Station and Precinct Upgrade would require a mixture of heavy vehicles to carry equipment and materials, as well as light vehicles to be used by construction staff to access the site and carry tolls and light equipment.

Construction activities would be undertaken in a manner that would limit possessions (ie. closures of the railway line), and in general the station and interchange would continue to operate.

4.2 Heavy Vehicles

4.2.1 Heavy Vehicle Access Routes

Heavy vehicle access to the site would likely be from Arthur Street (to the south of the precinct), which links with the wider regional road network. The intersection of Arthur Street and Henley Road is signalised, and allows right turn movements from westbound Arthur Street into Henley Road. From the west, access to the site could be made via Hornsey Road. However, there are school zones on Hornsey Road, with schools located nearby.

The turning movements / swept paths of access intersections to the station site would likely limit heavy vehicle usage to 12.5 metre rigid trucks. It is likely that 19 metre heavy vehicles (e.g. truck-and-dog trailer) or longer would have difficulty accessing the station site from the south.

Alternatively, delivery of larger construction components by accessing the site from the Sydney Markets site, or rail should be considered.

4.2.2 Heavy Vehicle Volumes

Detailed information regarding construction activities and the resulting heavy vehicle volumes are not known at this stage.

A more detailed assessment of heavy vehicle construction traffic would need to be undertaken during the detailed design or prior to the construction stage.

4.3 Light Construction Vehicles The volumes of light construction vehicles are not known at this stage. However, it is unlikely that there will be additional parking available for construction staff adjacent to the site, either off-street or on-street.

Unrestricted kerbside spaces on Hornsey Road adjacent to The Crescent could potentially allow parking of construction staff light vehicles. Detailed impacts would need to be determined during the detailed design stage.

An alternative would be to consider discussions with Sydney Markets Limited to enable construction staff vehicles to be parked within the Sydney Markets site, with access to the construction site via the existing or the new footbridge. It is noted that there would be limited construction activities during weekends, while traffic movements on the Sydney Markets site are limited during weekdays (compared with weekends).



4.4 Pedestrian Access and Safety Construction activities relating to the station may require closure of pedestrian facilities for limited time periods. These could include sections such as the north side footpath on The Crescent (west of the intersection with Henley Road), the existing pedestrian crossing on The Crescent, and areas on the station platforms.

To mitigate the impacts such closures would have on pedestrian access, safe and convenient alternative access routes would need to be provided.

Where appropriate, the deployment of traffic controllers to safely lead pedestrians (as well as vehicles) through changed traffic conditions and prevent conflicts with construction vehicles (e.g. trucks) that are trying to access the site would be beneficial.

Signage will be required around the construction area to control and alert people of the change in conditions in the area. This includes warning signs, speed signs, road works signage and cones marking pedestrian/vehicle paths.

4.5 Public Transport Access The following impacts on public transport access and operations could be expected during construction of the project:

• Potential bus rerouting (temporary) during demolition of the existing pedestrian crossing and the construction of the new pedestrian crossing on The Crescent.

• Potential bus customer access restrictions during demolition of the existing stairs on The Crescent.

• Temporary relocation of the Night Bus stop. • Potential track possession.

Adequate information and signage would need to be provided to customers prior to any significant changes to existing operations.

4.6 Parking Impacts During both the construction and operation stages of the project, there would be a decrease of approximately eight (8) 1P kerbside parking spaces on the section of The Crescent (north side) west of the Henley Road intersection, due to the provision of the accessible drop-off space, the new taxi rank and the kiss-and-ride space. However, this decrease would be offset by a potential increase of approximately two (2) kerbside parking spaces on the north side of The Crescent east of the proposed bus zone.

4.7 Traffic Impacts Construction activities on The Crescent would likely require temporary closure of portions of The Crescent. Detailed construction staging information and the consequent traffic rerouting plans are not yet available.

Any proposed traffic rerouting would need to be communicated to the community in advance of the proposed works.



4.8 Recommended Mitigating Measures During Construction

The impacts of construction-stage activities relating to the Flemington Station and Precinct Upgrade would likely be mitigated with the following measures:

• Limiting heavy vehicle construction access between Arthur Street and the site to Henley Road and Hornsey Road. Alternatively, investigate opportunities for using the Sydney Markets site to the north as heavy vehicle construction access route.

• Construction staff traffic generation, likely to be light vehicles, would require parking during construction hours. For construction staff not carrying heavy tools or equipment, accessing the station site by train would reduce requirements for car parking. Alternatively, opportunities for using an area within Sydney Markets for construction staff parking could also be considered in discussion with Sydney Markets Ltd.

• Pedestrian paths that would be required to be closed off should be properly hoarded and provided with safe and convenient alternative crossing points.

• Changes to traffic routes need to be communicated in advance. • A Construction Traffic Management Plan would need to be prepared once more

details about construction activities and staging are more defined.

Operation Stage Impacts


5. Operation Stage Impacts

5.1 Traffic Impacts The following traffic impacts are likely to be generated by the operation of the project:

• A different traffic access manoeuvre to use the kiss-and-ride space. Although no designated kiss-and-ride facility currently exists, it has been observed that customers being dropped off or picked-up use either the taxi rank on the north side of The Crescent, or the night bus stop on the south side. With the proposed designated kiss-and-ride space, a formal facility would be provided, albeit requiring access via Hornsey Road.

• The project would create a similar impact with regard to access to the taxi rank on The Crescent, with the relocation of the taxi rank further to the west. Taxi access would need to be from the west via Hornsey Road. However, egress could be achieved to directly be via Henley Road.

• There would be no significant change in existing bus operational access arrangements. • There would be a net loss of approximately six (6) kerbside parking spaces due to the

rearrangement of facilities on The Crescent.

5.2 Transport Impacts The proposed improvements would generate the following transport impacts:

• The provision of a designated kiss-and-ride space, as well as a designated accessible drop-off/pick-up space would contribute towards more equitable access to the railway station and precinct.

• The relocation of the existing bus zone and the provision of an improved bus shelter would provide a higher level of security for bus customers.

• The provision of formal bicycle parking facilities would provide cyclist-customers with more secure facilities to leave their bicycles at the station precinct.

• The relocation of the pedestrian crossing on The Crescent closer to the Henley Road intersection would result in shorter walking distances for more than 1,000 pedestrians during a typical weekday, and more than 750 pedestrians during a typical 3-hour weekend peak3 without significantly impacting on intersection operation. (This is further discussed below).

• The relocated pedestrian crossing and bus zone offers the opportunity to create additional kerbside parking spaces on the north side of the Crescent east of the bus zone.

5.3 Impacts of Pedestrian Crossing Relocation The existing pedestrian crossing on The Crescent is proposed to be relocated to the west, closer to the Henley Road/The Crescent intersection as part of the project. This is principally due to the new location of the main station entry with the new concourse, which would shift westward to about where the alignment of Henley Road intersects with The Crescent.

3 Numbers based on pedestrian counts, as shown in Table 2.4 Table 2.5 and Table 2.6.



Location Options Considered During the design development, a number of crossing location options have been considered. The advantages and disadvantages of each is discussed in Table 5.1.

Table 5.1: Location Options Considered for The Crescent Pedestrian Crossing

Pedestrian Crossing Location Option Advantages Disadvantages Implications

Existing (no change) • No additional works required to relocate crossing.

• Requires bus zone to remain as existing and increase walk distances for rail-bus interchange.

• A significant number of customer (those heading towards Henley Road) would need to walk and loop back.

• Keeping crossing where it is now raises potential safety risks with pedestrians heading to/from Henley Road.

Relocate to the west; east of the Henley Road intersection

• Provides shorter walk distances for a significant volume of customers heading to/from the direction of Henley Road.

• Does not negatively impact on walk distances of customers heading to/from the east.

• There would be limited storage space for vehicles heading east as they give way to pedestrians on the crossing.

• This option presents the optimal location for a pedestrian crossing at the precinct, and provides the most benefits to majority of customers without negatively impacting on the requirements of other customers.

• Traffic impacts of relocating the pedestrian crossing under this option results in acceptable intersection operation levels, as discussed below.

Relocate to the east; east of the existing bus zone, with additional crossing west of the Henley Road intersection

• Will provide an additional crossing facility in the precinct.

• Option would not meet warrants for marked pedestrian crossings, as per Roads and Maritime Services guidelines

• Having two crossings would tend to divide the pedestrian demand volumes, which would indicate that neither one is warranted.

Provide new crossing west of Henley Road intersection

• Allows a shorter walk distance for pedestrians intending to use the lift.

• There is minimal pedestrian desire along this line.

• This option does not address the requirements of pedestrians heading to/from the east.

• This will potentially increase the risk of pedestrians crossing outside the marked crossing and thus safety.

• Majority of the customers would likely use the lifts compared with the stairs at Flemington Station.

Based on the assessment summarised in Table 5.1, the preferred location for the pedestrian crossing is on the east side of the Henley Road/The Crescent intersection closer to the proposed new stairway location for the station. This option provides the highest benefits for customers in the station precinct while meeting warrants for the installation of marked pedestrian crossings.

In order to manage risks of pedestrians crossing The Crescent away from the marked crossing, a pedestrian barrier on the north side of The Crescent is proposed to be installed.

The impacts of the relocated pedestrian crossing on The Crescent on intersection operation are discussed below.



Traffic Operation Impacts The impacts of relocation of the pedestrian crossing was assessed using SIDRA Intersection, through assumed growth factors for traffic and pedestrian flows. It is noted that the use of the intersection model has its own limitations. In the modelling, it has been assumed that motorists follow a set of agreed road rules, in particular giving way to pedestrians on the crossing prior to entering the intersection.

The modelling also assumed the following priority of flows at the Henley Road / The Crescent intersection:

• Pedestrians using crossing • Through traffic on The Crescent • Turning traffic on The Crescent • Traffic on Henley Road.

SIDRA Intersection models were run for a number of scenarios of increased traffic volumes through the intersection (compared with existing), as well as increased pedestrian flows. Table 5.2 provides a summary of the results of these scenario runs.

Table 5.2: Intersection Operation with Increased Traffic Volumes & Pedestrian Crossing

Operation Peak period Degree of Saturation

Average Delay (sec) Level of Service 95 percentile

Queue (m) Existing traffic and pedestrian

flows – Weekday AM 0.20 8 A 2

Existing traffic and pedestrian flows – Weekday PM 0.26 9 A 4

Existing traffic and pedestrian flows – Weekend 0.44 12 A 14

Weekday: Double the traffic flows, existing pedestrian

volumes [2] 0.53 14 A 12

Weekend: +10% traffic, +10% pedestrian flows 0.54 15 B 20

Weekend: +20% traffic, +20% pedestrian flows 0.70 22 B 31

[2] This scenario used a worst-case analysis of doubling weekday flows for demonstration purposes. The most likely increase allowing for an appropriate rate of traffic growth is in the order of 20 percent, or an average of 1 percent per year over 20 years.

From Table 5.2, it can be seen that the intersection currently operates at Level of Service A even if weekday traffic is doubled. Level of service assuming additional weekend traffic and pedestrian volumes would still be at acceptable levels (LOS B).

It is expected that queues would form when pedestrians are using the crossing and traffic is required to give way. From Table 5.2, the “Weekend + 20%” scenario indicates that the 95th percentile queue during the weekend peak would be in the order of 31 metres (about 4 or 5 cars). The intersection degree of saturation indicates that there is still spare capacity for the intersection to operate at acceptable levels.

While these parameters describe the average performance of the intersection over the peak hour, it is likely that limited periods of more intense traffic queues would be experienced, for example immediately after a train arrives and passengers disembark to walk towards the crossing. However, the duration of this intense peak is likely to be limited, and would not be different from typical traffic operations experienced at railway station precincts throughout metropolitan Sydney.



5.4 Customer Access and Amenity One of the key objectives of the project is to enhance the accessibility of Flemington Railway Station and Precinct, and a significant positive impact of the project is to improve existing access arrangements in the study area.

The key impacts on customer access include:

• Improved and more legible station access stairways. • More evenly distributed access to the station platforms (more central loading),

compared with the current end-loading. • The re-orientation of the platform stairs vis-à-vis the stairs to The Crescent provides for a

more direct pedestrian route between the interchange and the platforms, minimising change in travel directions that characterises the current arrangement.

• The provision of lifts and the DDA-compliant access on the pedestrian footbridge to Sydney markets (up to the Sydney Trains property boundary) would contribute towards for customer amenity. This would also assist in customers carrying bulky or heavy packages relating to purchases at Sydney Markets. Although outside the scope of this Project, it is understood that Sydney Markets Ltd is also considering provision of a similar DDA-compliant path to their property.

• The relocation of the existing pedestrian crossing on The Crescent would provide a more direct route for customers accessing the station, particularly those to/from the direction of Henley Road. The relocated crossing also allows for a more compact transport interchange without significantly impacting on traffic operations.

5.5 Recommended Mitigating Measures During Operation The proposed improvements as part of the project would enhance access and movements to/from the station and interchange, and general movements within the station precinct.

In order to address potential pedestrian safety issues in the precinct, it is recommended that consideration be given to designating the section of The Crescent between Hornsey Road and Hampstead Road, and the section of Henley Road from Exeter Street to the station precinct as a 40 km/h High Pedestrian Activity Area (HPAA). This recommendation would need to be discussed with Strathfield Municipal Council’s Traffic Committee.

The intersection assessment and scenarios tested also indicate that the degree of saturation of the Henley Road/The Crescent intersection would be lower when the traffic movement priority is given to Henley Road traffic4. This would need to be further considered once the new interchange is operational.

4 Note however, that even with priority given to The Crescent, the intersection still operates within acceptable levels of

service, as indicated in Section 5.3.

Summary and Conclusions


6. Summary and Conclusions The proposed upgrade of Flemington Station and Precinct involves the following key transport, traffic and access-related components:

• Provision of a new and expanded station concourse located to the west of the existing one, relocation of the stairways linking with The Crescent and the platforms.

• Provision of a new and expanded station concourse located to the west of the existing one, relocation of the stairways linking with The Crescent and the platforms.

• Provision of a new accessible, wider and more direct footbridge linking the proposed station concourse with the portion of the existing footbridge within the Sydney Markets property.

• Provision of new passenger lifts at Platform 1&2, Platform 3&4 and on The Crescent. • With the new concourse, demolition of the existing station concourse and portion of the

footbridge linking with Sydney Markets. • Provision of an accessible drop-off space on The Crescent adjacent to the proposed

lift. • Relocation of the existing taxi rank from east of the intersection to the west of the

proposed accessible drop-off space. • Provision of a kiss-and-ride space west of the proposed taxi rank. • Relocation of the existing pedestrian crossing on The Crescent to be closer to the

intersection. • Relocation of the bus zone to the west, to be nearer the proposed stairway landing

area. • Provision of bicycle parking facilities.

The following key construction-stage impacts are likely to be generated:

• Increased construction vehicle traffic volumes, both light and heavy vehicles, within the station precinct, in particular Henley Road, Hornsey Road and The Crescent.

• Increased demand for all-day parking for construction staff • Potential changes to pedestrian access routes.

It is recommended that a Construction Traffic Management Plan be prepared when more detailed information about construction activities and staging are known. It is also recommended that opportunities for using an area within Sydney Markets as construction access and/or parking area be investigated and/or discussed with Sydney Markets Ltd.

The operation stage impacts of the project include:

• Improved pedestrian access to, from and within the station and interchange precinct, facilitated by the provision of new passenger lifts, interchange facilities, wider pedestrian circulation area on the concourse, and more direct access to Sydney Markets.

• Potential increased vehicle manoeuvres to access interchange facilities, in particular the accessible drop-off/pick-up space and the kiss-and-ride space. However, this is offset by a more direct egress route from the station precinct.
