Commodore Street
Mentions
- Intersection works with Wells Street
- Newtown residents should expect a modified traffic-calming design rather than the originally proposed raised thresholds, which may affect vehicle noise, drainage and local traffic movement.
- Stanmore residents and road users will get a safer crossing treatment, but with changes to signage and removal of the southbound speed cushion.
- Summer Hill residents, school users and drivers will see improved pedestrian safety, but with reduced parking and a change to the current school crossing arrangement.
- Residents in the immediate area will see a revised crossing layout that is intended to improve safety while still allowing truck turning movements.
- Leichhardt residents should benefit from better parking availability, with commuter and business parking pressure reduced in the affected streets.
Decisions
Wells Street and Commodore Street / John Street raised thresholds approved with design changes
Detailed design Plan No. 10394 for two raised asphalt thresholds in Newtown was approved, but only after amendments to replace the raised thresholds with at-grade thresholds, remove piano keys, and remove speed hump warning signs. TfNSW advised it did not support the proposed raised thresholds and preferred an at-grade flush stamped asphalt treatment.

Smith Street, Summer Hill raised pedestrian crossings approved with parking loss
The proposed raised pedestrian crossings, kerb extension and landscaped kerb blister islands in Smith Street, Summer Hill were approved, and the existing School Children’s Crossing will be removed. The proposal results in a net loss of one on-street parking space.
