Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

 

Background

Darlington Road is a major pedestrian route for residents and students travelling between the King Street and Darlington Public School, sports facilities, the University of Sydney.

The Newtown, Darlington, Erskineville and Camperdown Pedestrian, Cycling and Traffic Calming (PCTC) Plan, adopted by Council, acknowledges this and includes traffic and landscaping treatments to improve pedestrian safety at the intersection of Darlington Road and Golden Grove Street.

It is therefore proposed to install a raised pedestrian crossing across Golden Grove Street and a continuous footpath treatment across Darlington Road to provide pedestrians priority, slow down traffic in the area, and increase the driver's awareness of people in the area.
