Local Traffic Committee Meeting 6.3

Report No. 6.3 Gilmore Crescent - Parking restrictions and pedestrian facilities

File No: I2023/1070

Gilmore Crescent has recently been upgraded and extended to cater for Byron Bay’s new skate park.

As part of these upgrades additional parking bays have been provided. All parking in the surrounding area is restricted to ensure parking equity for the greater community and to prevent nuisance camping. Council staff are proposing the restrictions contained within the plan in attachment 1 (E2023/58247).

There will also be provision for pedestrians (refuge) on Lawson Street for safe crossing and access to the new skate park (E2023/71557).

BYRON SHIRE COUNCIL

Local Traffic Committee Meeting 6.4

Report No. 6.4 Wordsworth Street / Shirley Street - Parking and intersection upgrades.

File No: I2023/1071

Wordsworth Street is a short dead-end street that currently provides access to the Byron Bay Police Station and a nursing home. However, the nursing home also has secondary access off Butler Street. Council plans to repair and upgrade Wordsworth Street. As part of these works, Council will create additional car parking bays and modify the current intersection arrangement at Shirley Street.

Traffic modelling (2033) has indicated that right turns through the intersection of Shirley Street and Wordsworth Street will experience significant delays in the future due to development. Unfortunately, completely banning right turns from the intersection is not recommended because the right-turn from Wordsworth Street would be redirected to a U-turn downstream, which is not appropriate. Moreover, prohibiting the right turn out of Wordsworth Street would interfere with police business.

To enhance safety at the intersection, the proposed design eliminates the conflict of the right turn into Wordsworth Street from Shirley Street by implementing a right-turn ban. This design also reduces delays for the right-turn out by allowing one vehicle to wait in the centre median for a two-stage right turn. Additionally, the design addresses sight distance issues for the right turn from Wordsworth Street by removing the left turn pocket on Butler Street (into Wordsworth Street) for westbound traffic.

Please note that the attached plans were the result of Council seeking concurrence from TfNSW with respect to the intersection and the plans were amended accordingly based on their advice.

Please see attachment 1, Construction drawings Wordsworth Street and Shirley Street (E2023/38317)

Figure 1: Design intent: Intersection of Shirley Street at Wordsworth Street

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Local Traffic Committee endorse;

a) the treatments at the intersection of Shirley Street to improve safety and capacity

b) the updated parking restrictions within Wordsworth Street

Detailed plans for these improvements are shown in attachment 1, Construction drawings Wordsworth Street and Shirley Street (E2023/38317).
