Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation and noted that City Staff will arrange an on-site meeting with residents from Church Street in early 2022, to discuss interim traffic treaments which can be implemented around this location.

Background

The City proposes to introduce a continuous footpath treatment in Church Street, Paddington just east of the intersection with South Dowling Street, to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility, slow vehicle speeds and enhance the streetscape.

In August 2018, the City consulted local residents on a proposal to introduce a continuous footpath treatment in Seymour Place, Paddington, just east of South Dowling Street.  The proposal was to have included a second continuous footpath treatment nearby in Church Street, just east of South Dowling Street.

However, the continuous footpath treatment in Church Street, just east of South Dowling Street did not get referred to the Local Pedestrian, Cycling and Traffic Calming Committee (LPCTCC) for its consideration at that time. Therefore, the City is now proposing to present the proposal at the LPCTCC meeting for consideration.
