Decision details

Moved by Councillor Chung, seconded by Councillor Forster -

It is resolved that:

(A)      Council note, in regards to Lenton Parade Waterloo:

(i)         the street is located in a residential area in Waterloo in Area 41 of the City of Sydney and is a 'No Through Road';

(ii)        there is currently minimal clear signage to indicate that the street is a 'No Through Road';

(iii)      residents report that many vehicles turn into Lenton Parade unaware that it is a 'no through' road, resulting in the residential street becoming congested and unsafe;

(iv)      Lenton Parade has 13 x 2hr (residents excepted) parking spaces and 38 untimed parking spaces;

(v)       residents report that some vehicles are parked in the parking spaces for long periods of time, making it difficult for residents to find a parking spot close to their home; and

(vi)      as a result of the limited parking, drivers are double-parking their vehicles, blocking in vehicles and restricting cars from manoeuvring around to exit the road; and

(B)      the Chief Executive Officer be requested to:

(i)         take immediate action to install clearer signage that indicates Lenton Parade is a 'No Through Road'; and

(ii)        conduct community consultation to assess the need for additional 2hr (residents excepted) parking on Lenton Parade.
