Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation, subject to the addition of approximately three metres of motorbike parking for residents with valid parking permits.

Background

The City has received a request from residents of Griffin Street, Surry Hills to improve access to their garages and along the street. Currently, the narrowness of the road width and kerbside parking impede vehicle access through the street.

Following the discussion on Item 21 of July 2024 Local, Pedestrian, Cyclists, Traffic Calming Committee (LPCTCC), the City deferred the item for further engagement with residents for short term traffic calming solutions to be implemented before any parking changes were carried out.

City staff have met on-site with residents to investigate and advise of potential solutions for residents' consideration. However, a unanimous decision could not be reached and therefore the City will still need proceed with the No Parking proposal as previously proposed.
