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.
