Review of Environmental FactorsGlenbrook commuter car park and interchange upgrade6 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT6.1 TRAFFIC, TRANSPORT AND SITE ACCESSBeca Pty Ltd carried out a Traffic, Transport and Access Impact Assessment (Beca, 2012) for the Proposal.The report is summarised in this section.6.1.1 Existing environmentThe area around Glenbrook is predominantly residential. Burfitt Parade, immediately north of the station,is a 12m wide, two lane, two‐way road that is kerbed to the east of Glen Street. The section of BurfittParade west of Glen Street is narrower at only 5.3m width and has gravel shoulders.Traffic calming devices are provided on Burfitt Parade immediately east of Glen Street and Ross Street toslow traffic and provide safer pedestrian crossing near the station entrance. Burfitt Parade is a 50kphroad.The operation of the road network was assessed during site visits on the evening of 12 September 2012and the morning of 13 September 2012. It was concluded that the road network operates well withincapacity and no traffic capacity concerns were identified.Off‐street parkingThere is off‐street parking at a Blue Mountains Council operated car park on Burfitt Parade between RossStreet and Euroka Road. This car park has space for approximately 84 vehicles and there is no timerestriction on parking. The car park contains two spaces for mobility impaired, which are locatedapproximately 190m from access to the station. The footpath from the car park along Burfitt Parade isnot considered Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliant.An occupancy analysis of the Council car park found that the car park was 95% full at 7:52am and dropsbelow 95% occupancy at 5:59pm. This implies that the car park remains full throughout the day and leadsto vehicles parking on the street.On‐street parkingOn‐street parking is available in the surrounding streets. The occupancy of these spaces follows a similarpattern to that of the off‐street parking. The streets are narrow, which results in vehicles parking on theverge where there is no footpath.Kiss and rideThere are existing kiss and ride facilities available on both sides of Burfitt Parade to the west of thestation access. There is space for approximately three vehicles at each these pick‐up/drop‐off areas.The southern side of the road has a kerb channel plus a footpath but the north side has no footpath. Nocrossing points are provided. A survey on 13 September 2012 was undertaken to count the number ofvehicles using the kiss and ride facilities. In total, 43 vehicles used the facility in the AM period and 57 inthe PM period, with a maximum of six vehicles waiting at any given time.A taxi stand is located on Burfitt Parade to the east of the station access, with capacity for three taxis.There is a shelter beside the bus stop that could be used by passengers.Ref No: 2260812 26
