Feedback Form: Crows Nest Road, Waverton - Proposed Refuge Island

Feedback closes 11.59pm, Sunday 20  March 2022

Council was successful in gaining funding from the Federal Government Stimulus Commitment Road Safety Program (School Zone Infrastructure) to upgrade the existing painted median island on Crows Nest Road between Morton Street and McHatton Street to a refuge island. 

The proposed refuge island incorporates a raised median with a crossing gap and kerb extensions on both sides, which will increase the safety for pedestrians, slow down traffic and reduce the crossing distance.  The loss in parking space in McHatton Street will be offset by an additional parking space proposed in front of 39 Crows Nest Road. Hence, the proposal will not result in any net parking loss. The proposed concept is available in the Document Library - Current Surveys.

If there is general community support for this proposal, it is intended that works will be completed by the end of June 2022. 

The results of this consultation will be considered by the North Sydney Traffic Committee.

The feedback form is not a voting form as such but will assist in determining support for the pedestrian crossing upgrade. All feedback received will be considered, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents.
