COMMENT · Not supported by TfNSW and Police due to not meeting AS 2890.5. Referenced previous LTC recommendation from November 2017. Recommended re-investigate configuration that meets AS 2890.5 E.G. Centre of road angled parking (45 degrees) with bump stops, one way in and out
· Committee noted already approved by Council in March 2020 and although the current recommendation was to endorse signs and road markings, TfNSW and Police had not been formerly notified of Council’s resolution in 2020 which was contrary to the LTC recommendation of 2017
· Committee supported centre of road parking but not in its current form. An alternate recommendation would be considered after investigation and presentation of an alternative concept that meets the required standard
