Advice
The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.
Background
Transport
for NSW (TfNSW) are
planning to re-route the route 389 in the Pyrmont area to address customer
feedback, improve access to Darling Harbour and the Maritime Museum, and
provide improved interchange opportunities between bus and light rail services.
The new route proposed will
now terminate and commence on Murray St adjacent to the Maritime Museum and the
Pyrmont Bay Light Rail stop, instead of operating a one-way anticlockwise loop
on Jones Bay Rd, Pyrmont St, Pyrmont Bridge Rd, Murray St and Pirrama Rd
(figure 1 and 2).
As a result of the proposed
new route, an additional bus zone is required on the western side of Murray St
adjacent to the entrance to the Pyrmont Bay Light Rail stop. TfNSW and Transit
Systems, as the operator of route 389, are requesting for a 37 metres bus zone in Murray Street, north of
Union Street.
