Otherwise, the Sherbrooke Street/North ParadeIntersection would operate at a similar level of performance pre and post constructionof the Proposal.This demonstrates that operation of the Proposal would not have a significant impacton performance of Sherbrooke Street/North Parade intersection.Table 6-6 shows the existing intersection performance of Luxford Road and MountStreet and the predicted change following development of the Proposal.Table 6-6Performance of Luxford Road/Mount Street IntersectionApproach southalong MountStreetApproach eastalong LuxfordRoadApproach westalong LuxfordRoadPeriod AM PM AM PM AM PMDelay(s)LoSQueue(m)Without car park 23 29 24 18 16 12With car park 25 27 23 20 16 13Without car park B C B B B AWith car park B B B B B AWithout car park 37 82 83 111 54 56With car park 40 92 89 115 57 56Table 6-6 indicates that Luxford Road/Mount Street intersection currently operates ata LoS B or better except for the southern approach which operates at a LoS C duringthe PM peak period.KMH-2010123a REF Rev 4 doc Page 50 of 116Status: Final
Mount Druitt Commuter Car ParkReview of Environmental FactorsIt is predicted that the proposed commuter car park would result in a minor increase indelays and queue length at the Luxford Road/Mount Street intersection. Theintersection is predicted to have a LoS B or better while the proposed car park isoperating.This demonstrates that the Proposal would not have a significant impact on theperformance of Luxford Road/Mount Street intersection.ParkingThe Proposal would result in the provision of approximately 220 parking spaces. Theincreased car parking capacity should allow commuters to park closer to the stationthan they may currently.On the northern side of North Parade the current on-street car parking would restrictsight distances to the proposed car park entrance and exit. In order to achieve therequired sight distances it would be necessary to remove 14 on-street parking spaceson the northern side of North Parade between Jirrang Close and Mount Street. The lossof these on-street parking spaces would be more than compensated by the proposedcar park.Pedestrians, cyclists, taxis and busesThe median located along North Parade restricts vehicle access and egress to the siteto a left in/left out arrangement. This significantly reduces the potential points ofconflict between pedestrians and motorists in comparison to a full vehicle accessscenario. The footpath adjacent to the frontage of the car park is wide and clear ofkerbside parking and other obstructions ensuring good visibility for both pedestriansand motorists.Key pedestrian trip generators to the west of the site are the TAFE, Chifley College andLoyola Senior High. The course hours for TAFE are 0900 to 2130, Chifley College 0830to 1500 and Loyola Senior High 0820 to 1430. As the expected peak hours for the carpark are 0700-0800 and 1800-1900, the majority of vehicle movements to and fromthe car park would occur outside of existing periods of peak pedestrian flow. Thissuggests that conflict between pedestrians and vehicles using the car park would beminimal.The pedestrian access to North Parade from the car park is located west of thevehicular access so that patrons are not required to cross the vehicle access way,thereby reducing potential conflict between vehicles and pedestrians.The high quality pedestrian footpath and overbridge between the site and the stationwould not be altered as part of this Proposal and therefore there would be no impact topedestrian movements.Currently, a minority of pedestrians are crossing North Parade near the intersectionwith Mount Street. The location of pedestrian access & egress from the car parkshould encourage the use of the high quality footpath on the north side of NorthParade for pedestrians generated by car park.The proposed car park would not impact the existing bicycle facilities. The bicyclelockers near the station are not being affected by the proposed car park. The car parkis not providing any additional bicycle facilities over what is currently available inMount Druitt.The traffic modelling indicated that the Proposal would not significantly impact theperformance of key intersections during operation and therefore it is not anticipated toimpact to taxis, cyclists or buses in the area. Bicycle traffic, being part of the roadtraffic in Mount Druitt, would experience the same existing LOS after the proposed carpark is in commission.KMH-2010123a REF Rev 4 doc Page 51 of 116Status: Final
