2025/656494

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Forum review the removal of the central median in Elizabeth Street, Redfern between Phillip and Redfern Streets.

Advice

The Forum raised no issues with this Item.

Background

Elizabeth Street, Redfern between Phillip and Redfern Streets has experienced increasing pavement deterioration due to poor subgrade conditions and inadequate surface drainage. Compounding this issue is the roots of mature trees that have protruded onto the kerb and gutter alignment. This has resulted in damage to the kerb and gutter creating uneven surfaces along carriageway and adjacent footpaths. The damage has affected drainage in the area leading to frequent ponding during rainfall events.

The standing water poses safety risks to both motorists and pedestrians, increasing the likelihood of loss of control incidents. To address the damage to the kerb and gutter and improve surface drainage along Elizabeth Street between Redfern and Phillip Streets, it is proposed to remove the existing central median. The proposal would improve surface runoff and reduce flooding and enhance road safety for all users by minimising water ponding and improving pavement conditions.

2025/231150

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Forum review the installation of following traffic treatments in Cook Lane, Zetland west of Joynton Avenue:

At-grade pedestrian crossing and installation of speed hump in Cook Lane.

Advice

The Forum raised no issues with this Item.

Background

In August 2025, the City of Sydney consulted on a proposal to enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety in Joynton and Gadigal Avenues, Zetland through several traffic treatments. These included the installation of a new raised pedestrian and cycle crossing on Gadigal Avenue, just east of Joynton Avenue, and the refurbishment of the existing raised pedestrian crossing on Joynton Avenue. Additionally, a Continuous Footpath Treatment (CFT) was proposed for Cook Lane, west of Joynton Avenue, to improve pedestrian accessibility and prioritisation.

A drainage assessment that was undertaken during the design of the traffic treatments revealed significant flooding risks in Cook Lane. The flooding risk makes the CFT infeasible without substantial stormwater upgrades.

To maintain pedestrian priority while addressing the drainage constraints identified in Cook Lane, the design has been revised to incorporate an at-grade pedestrian crossing, supported by a speed hump on the approach. This alternative treatment proposal maintains pedestrian connectivity and prioritisation across the laneway, while not impeding on surface water flow, thereby mitigating the risk of flooding. The speed hump also functions as a traffic calming measure, reducing vehicle speeds and enhancing safety for all road users.
