Consultation has concluded
There are concerns from road users about the safety of pedestrians crossing at the intersection of The Crescent and Gouldsbury Street. The existing pedestrian refuge on The Crescent was built in 2005 is no longer compliant with current Standards.
Council has a program to upgrade all non-complying pedestrian refuges in Mosman. There are two options to address pedestrian safety at this intersection:
1. Upgrade existing pedestrian refuge to comply with current standards.
2. Replace the existing pedestrian refuge with a Wombat Raised Pedestrian Crossing.
Upgrading of the existing pedestrian refuge on The Crescent is considered not feasible as the upgraded refuge would restrict the turning path of school buses and large vehicles. Transport for NSW operates school bus services northbound on The Crescent to access the school bus stops on Myahgah Road outside the Mosman Public School. As such, this option may not be supported by both TfNSW and the local bus operator.
Since there are technical issues with Option 1, Council is now considering the Option 2 to replace the existing pedestrian refuge with a Wombat Raised Pedestrian Crossing as shown on the attached diagram. However, the installation of a wombat crossing at this location will result in three car parking spaces being removed on The Crescent.
Next Step
A report of this matter will be submitted to the Local Traffic Committee and/or Council for further consideration. All feedback will be considered, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents.
