In October last year, we asked for your feedback on the City of Ryde’s proposal to install ‘NO PARKING 5AM – 11AM TUESDAY’ controls in Farm Street, Gladesville, as part of a program to assist waste‑collection vehicles in narrow streets across the City of Ryde. 

WHAT CHANGES ARE BEING CONSIDERED?

The previous proposal received support from local residents, however concerns were raised regarding the increase in parking occupancy in Farm Street due to increased building activities in the area. As a result, waste‑collection vehicles are now having difficulty accessing the entire length of the street.

Further investigations suggest that Council consider installing full‑time parking controls in the cul-de-sac and introduce a Resident Parking Scheme in the area.

As a result of these investigations, we are now seeking your feedback on a proposal to install the following additional parking controls:

  • full-time ‘NO STOPPING’ in the Farm Street cul-de-sac
  • ‘NO PARKING 5AM–11AM TUESDAY’ on the north side of Farm Street

 In addition to these improvements, 10 metre NO STOPPING zones will be installed at the following intersections, to reinforce the Road Rules for parking near intersections.

  • Farm Street and The Avenue, and
  • Farm Street and Osgathorpe Road.
CONSIDERATION OF RESIDENTIAL PARKING SCHEME

The suggestion to introduce a Resident Parking Scheme in Farm Street has also been investigated.  Resident Parking Schemes exempt eligible residents’ vehicles from the timed parking controls in their area.  Legislative requirements allow a maximum of two Resident Parking Permits, less any on-site parking, to be allocated per household.

Given that the majority of households in Farm Street have access to two or more on-site parking spaces, very few households would be eligible to apply for permits, making a Resident Parking Scheme unfit for purpose in Farm Street.
