Advice
The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.
Background
The City is
currently reviewing the playground on the median island in Ethel Street, Erskineville.
Ethel Street is
a Shared Zone to provide a safe area around the playground. However,
residents have requested additional traffic calming measures in Clara
Street, on the approach to Ethel
Street (and near the playground) to reinforce the existing 10km/h speed zone. The proposed speed cushions would
improve safety and reduce vehicle speed turning into Ethel Street.
