In January 2013
the City consulted with you in relation to traffic changes that were proposed
as part of the Abercrombie Street upgrade between the Lawson Street and
Shepherd Street intersection in order to receive some feedback on the changes
to improve safety and pedestrian amenity in the area. Following this
consultation with the community and the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) the
following changes have been proposed to further improve safety and pedestrian
amenity in these areas.
Under Section 116
of the Roads Act 1993, the City of Sydney is seeking approval for proposed
traffic changes to improve safety and pedestrian amenity in the area.
The changes
include:
The proposed
one-way southbound on Ivy Street between Lander and Abercrombie Streets has
been changed to a one-way northbound on Ivy Street between Lander and
Abercrombie Streets.
. Provide a right
turn ban from Abercrombie Street (eastbound) to Ivy Street (south);
• Construction of
a traffic island at the intersection of Lander and Ivy Streets to support
the one-way
southbound on Ivy Street between Lander and Abercrombie Streets.
We would like to
hear your views about the proposal. Feedback can be provided by email to Adam
Lander, Community Engagement Coordinator, alander@cityofsydney.nsw.cjov.au or
by post to City of Sydney, GPO Box 1591, Sydney NSW 2001.
The City welcomes
community feedback and you are encouraged to make a submission. Please note
City staff does not assume support or opposition if you choose not to provide a
submission on the proposal.
Submissions must
be made in writing, quoting reference number 2013/029493, before 6pm on 13 May
2013. Submissions may be made available to the public if the City receives a
request under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009.
City staff will
review all submissions on the proposal and if supported, the proposed traffic
changes will be considered for endorsement by the Traffic Committee. It is
noted some of these treatments are also subject to assessment and approval by
the Roads & Maritime Services.
To make a
submission or for more information about the project, please contact Adam
