Why are the changes being considered?

Council has received numerous requests from residents, including a petition, to address the traffic and parking issues on Park Avenue. The carriageway of Park Avenue is approximately 5.6m wide, which has led to situations where two vehicles travelling in opposite directions cannot pass each other. Council is therefore proposing to convert Park Avenue to one-way westbound between Chatham Road and Anthony Road, West Ryde.

This change will have the following implications for residents’ consideration:

  • The residents on the northern side (even numbers) of Park Avenue will require to place their waste bins on the southern side for collection.
  • Access to Park Avenue will be from Anthony Road only.
  • Availability of on-street parking will be decreased.
