Review of Environmental FactorsGlenbrook commuter car park and interchange upgradeSydney, with limited stops between Parramatta and Central Station, Sydney. The line is also used byCountryLink and Indian Pacific but neither service stops at Glenbrook Railway Station.A large proportion of commuters catching the train at Glenbrook Railway Station travel to the station bycar. The Council car park fills during peak hour and commuters park on the surrounding streets and walkto the station. Currently there are inadequate pedestrian facilities on Burfitt Parade and insufficientlighting to provide a safe environment.Transport for NSW identified the need to upgrade the interchange facilities and provide a commuter carpark.The area around the Proposal is residential with quiet streets. The Proposal is a short distance fromGlenbrook village.6.3.2 Potential impactsConstruction activities have the potential to cause noise and traffic impacts to residents and commuters.These impacts are assessed in Section 6.4 and Section 6.1 respectively.The construction of the pedestrian crossing and refuge, work at the kiss and ride area, the construction ofthe DDA spaces and the upgrading of the footpath on Burfitt Parade east of the station have the potentialto cause impacts to pedestrians. Pedestrians are likely to be diverted around work areas.Following the completion of construction, the proposed commuter car park and upgrade to theinterchange would provide better access and services to commuters.The proposed commuter car park would provide approximately 56 car spaces. The car park has thepotential to provide parking for vehicles that would otherwise be parked in the road verge along BurfittParade, Raymond Street and Euroka Road.There is a potential for the proposed commuter car park and upgrade to attract more commuters toGlenbrook Railway Station. This has the potential to benefit local businesses in the area. The proposedcommuter car park at the Glenbrook interchange will provide a better link between different forms oftransport and give greater access to public transport.A key objective of the Transport Access Program is to increase commuter safety.Transport for New South Wales would construct a pedestrian crossing to the east of Ross Street on BurfittParade to provide a safe crossing point for commuters using the Council car park and for pedestrianswalking to Glenbrook village centre via Ross Street. Pedestrian refuges would also be provided on BurfittParade to the west of Ross Street. The pedestrian refuges would reduce the distance that pedestrianswould have to cross. Kerb ramps would be provided at each pedestrian refuge. Pedestrian access to theproposed commuter car park would be provided on the right‐hand side of the entry and the left‐handside exit. The footpath from the DDA spaces to the station entrance would be upgraded to be DDAcompliant. The station entrance would be resurfaced and new fencing would be installed as part of theProposal. Weeds and dead vegetation would be cleared from the site from the station entrance to theproposed commuter car park.The lighting at the entry and exit, and along the southern boundary of the proposed commuter car parkwould provide a well lit, safer environment for commuters at night. CCTV would also be installed to assistwith commuter safety.Ref No: 2260812 37
Review of Environmental FactorsGlenbrook commuter car park and interchange upgradeThe footpath on the south side of Burfitt Parade has a number of concrete segments with mosaics ofnative plants with their scientific name (refer to Figure 6‐3). The mosaics enhance the look of thefootpath. The mosaics would be removed as part of the works to upgrade the footpath.Figure 6‐3 Mosaic on the footpath on Burfitt Parade6.3.3 Mitigation measures• The Consultation Strategy would identify all potential stakeholders and the best practicemethods for consultation with these groups during construction. The plan would alsoencourage feedback and facilitate opportunities for the community and stakeholders tohave input into the project, where possible.• Contact details for a 24‐hour construction response line, project infoline and emailaddress would be provided for ongoing stakeholder contact throughout the constructionphase.• The proposed sustainability criteria for the project would encourage the contractor topurchase goods and services locally, helping to ensure the local community benefits fromthe construction of the Proposal.• Refer to Section 6.4 for noise and vibration mitigation measures for the constructionphase. A Traffic Management Plan would be developed to mitigate traffic impacts duringthe construction phase (refer to Section 6.1).• Transport for New South Wales would inform Blue Mountains City Council and the localresidents prior to the start of any works that is likely to have an impact on local residents,commuters or local road users.• Should the way‐finding signs at the intersection of Burfitt Parade and Ross Street beremoved during construction, they would be re‐installed or replaced.• The native flower mosaics would be retained/reused in the new pavement. Should thisprove impractical, replica mosaics would be installed in the pavement.Ref No: 2260812 38
