1. THAT before the proposal for a refuge island and kerb build outs in Russell Street at River Road proceeds confirmation be provided to the Committee that appropriate vegetation will be used rather than concrete, and the advance warning signs requested by TfNSW be included, and turn paths for the design vehicle be provided to TfNSW to verify safe turning movements can be achieved.

Construction was completed 10 July 2021.


Feedback closed midnight Sunday 10 January 2021

As part of the 2020/2021 implementation of North Sydney Council’s Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) Action Plans, it is proposed to reconstruct the existing Refuge Island in River Road and construct a refuge Island and kerb build out in Russell St. 

The proposed works will increase visibility of approaching drivers, slow down traffic and reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians. A concept plan of the proposal 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 before the end of June 2021. 

Note: all comments received will be considered, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents.  

If you have any enquiries regarding the proposal, contact Council’s Traffic & Transport Operations Department on 9936 8100 or or yoursay@northsydney.nsw.gov.au
