REPORT 17/009

17/009 Request for 'No Stopping' zone at Horatio and Lewis Streets intersection

REPORT BY THE EA TO DIRECTOR, OPERATIONS

TO 17 MARCH 2017 LOCAL TRAFFIC COMMITTEE

A0100009, A0100009

RECOMMENDATION That Council

1. Install a 50m long ‘No Stopping’ zone along Horatio Street at the intersection of Lewis Street.

Detailed report

Council received a request to review the parking restrictions at the intersection of Horatio and Lewis Streets. The corner of Lewis and Horatio Streets on the south eastern corner has long been a location for the sale of second hand vehicles. The vehicles parked at this location pose a traffic hazard and significantly reduce sight distances for vehicles turning from Lewis Street onto Horatio from the south. It is recommended that a 50m ‘No Stopping’ zone be installed along Horatio Street from the Lewis Street intersection.

Financial implications

Minimal from road signage budget.

These events will attract a mixture of locals and travelling spectators from other Regional areas of NSW and Sydney. Council has provided a Traffic Management Plan that details key stakeholders, venue identification and assessment of traffic impact, traffic management measures, provision for emergency services and pedestrian access, public notifications and weather contingencies. During the holding of events it is propose to close Pitts Lane (VIPs, officials and disabled parking allowed) and offer detours to assist in maximising the safety of patrons entering and departing Glen Willow Regional Sports Stadium. This includes patrons travelling by private vehicle, coach service and on walkways. Pitts Lane will be closed to all traffic other than those displaying parking pass/ buses/coaches and disabled patrons and all other traffic directed to Parklands and the racecourse, or to in town parking areas. The traffic management plan offers that 3600 parking spaces have been identified for events in Mudgee CBD, Pitts Lane, Ulan Road and the Race Course. Another 100 overflow parking spaces are also available Parklands Resort. The length of Ulan Road between Pitts Lane and Henry Lawson Drive will be roped off on both sides to prohibit cars parking along this stretch of road.

In the event of an emergency, entry to the venue will be via Pitts Lane with access to the field via gates depending on location of incident. Prior to events, an event specific Traffic Management Plan and Traffic Control Plans will be prepared and forwarded to the Traffic Committee’s consideration. The organiser will be requested to review traffic operations after each event to ensure the ongoing improvement to traffic management for future events.
