RFI - 20210153 Maple St Traffic Assessment

It is noted that the line of sight will still be impacted by a bus standing in the bus bay, however due to the short
duration with which this occurs, the impact is considered a transitory rather than permanent obstruction. As drivers
are typically more wary around buses due to the requirement to give way to them, drivers will be more alert in
these instances, offsetting the reduced visibility. The available line of sight to the south is therefore considered
adequate and compliant with the removal of the nominated parking spaces.

Regarding the loss of on-street parking spaces, it is noted a number of properties fronting Maple Street will be
serviced by the sole proposed access. An additional access right that the properties would otherwise have to
Maple Street has not been sought, negating the loss of a space that would be required. In addition, the occupants
of the existing dwelling fronting Maple Street will have off-street car parking as a result of the development,
potentially reducing the need for the occupants vehicles to take up on-street parks. The removal of on-street
parking is therefore considered to be offset by these factors resulting in no worsening to local parking conditions.
