Hall Street Improvements
Project Update - April 2024
As of March 2024, Transport NSW determined that activating the Road Act process is not required as Hall Street has remained closed to traffic at Old South Head Road for several decades, marked by a 'No Entry' sign and concrete bollards. Council will be proceeding with construction in early June to officially formalise this closure and enhance the streetscape.
The final design includes the following elements:
- Permanent closure of Hall Street at Old South Head Road intersection and installation of cul de sac
- Construction of a new continuous footpath and new kerb and gutter works
- New plantings across Old South Head Road footpath alignment
- Planting of new turf and 5 new trees with 1 removed, resulting in a net gain of 4 trees. Species: Eumundi Quandong
- Installation of 4 new angled parking spaces, and removal of 4 street-side parking spaces. No net loss of parking
- New signage and linemarking
The project aims to improve pedestrian and vehicle safety while also increasing the greenery and amenity of the area.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on our Have Your Say Survey which closed on the 13 September 2023. The feedback was collated in a Consultation Report and endorsed by Council.
Project Description
For many years, the end of Hall Street at Old South Head Road has been closed off to traffic with bollards. The closure has taken the form of pebblecrete bollards installed in a continuation of the Old South Head Road kerb alignment.
To help improve pedestrian safety and beautify the streetscape, we want your feedback on a proposal to formalise the existing closure by constructing a cul de sac, continuous footpath and planting new trees to improve the overall amenity of the area. Proposed works will include:
- Installation of a permanent cul de sac
- Construction of a new footpath along the Old South Head Road kerb alignment
- Planting of new turf and three additional trees
- Introduction of four angled parking spaces with no net loss of parking
Background
The existing intersection geometry of Hall St and Old South Head Road remains largely unchanged since the road closure via bollards was enacted.
The current intersection arrangement prevents passenger and larger vehicles from exiting or entering Hall St and Old South Head Road. There is a "No Entry sign on site but this does not physically prevent motorbikes and scooters from entering or exiting Hall Street.
The proposed formalisation of the road closure and construction of a separated footpath will not impact traffic flow but will physically prevent motorbikes and scooters from entering or exiting at the intersection, thereby improving pedestrian safety and movements within the area.
Pedestrians currently walking along the eastern side of Old South Head Rd need to walk along the asphalt road on Hall St to cross the intersection. The proposed construction of a continuous footpath will solve this issue, facilitating pedestrian safety and ease of movement, as well as contributing to greening and other improvements in the area.
