Advice
The Committee unanimously supported
the recommendation.
Background
On 19 December 2013, the NSW Government adopted the Sydney
City Centre Access Strategy (Access Strategy). The Access Strategy will deliver
a fully integrated transport network in Sydney’s City Centre that puts the
customer first and meets the growing transport task. It will mean more people
use public transport to access the City Centre and it will change the way people
move around within it.
The Access Strategy considers all transport modes and demonstrates how light rail, buses, trains, ferries, cars, taxis, pedestrians and cyclists will interact in the heart of Sydney. The Access Strategy also provides a clear direction for how all the different transport modes will work together in the Sydney CBD to reduce congestion, provide for future growth and improve the customer experience.
Recent bus network changes has seen the need to extend the length of this bus zone to enable two articulated buses to stop in this zone. The extension of the bus zone will have no impact on the flow of traffic or loss of parking as the area is currently signposted as No Stopping.
