The City of Vincent is seeking community feedback on proposed traffic calming and/or entry statements in Eucla and Federation Streets in Mt Hawthorn.

While traffic data indicated that the traffic speed and volume are within the safe operating thresholds for an Access Road (local street), the City acknowledges the residents’ concerns around traffic volumes and speed in the area.

It is proposing to install traffic calming/entry statements in Eucla and Federation Streets at the Scarborough Beach Road intersections, after receiving a $25,000 grant from the State Government.

The proposed traffic calming measures and entry statements come after residents living on Birrell, Eucla and Federations Streets raised concerns about the potential adverse impact of Main Roads WA’s upgrade of the intersection of Scarborough Beach Road, Green, Main and Brady Streets.

It is anticipated that Main Roads will provide further advice to the City and community as to progress of the project in the near future.

A concept plan (Plan No, 3693-CP) for both locations is included in this consultation pack.

It is not proposed to install a street tree, as previously suggested, on the road in the widened portion of either street as it would result in a loss of on-road parking adjacent to businesses, which could potentially result in further parking issues in the residential part of both streets.

Why are we consulting?

At a public meeting in December 2020 at Menzies Park residents voiced their concerns about traffic speeds and volumes and motorists not adhering to the parking restrictions and/or ‘clogging’ up their streets.

What’s Proposed?

Traffic Calming / Entry Statements

While traffic data indicated that the traffic speed and volume are within the safe operating thresholds for an Access Road (local street) the City acknowledges the residents’ concerns and is proposing to install traffic calming/entry statements in Eucla and Federation Streets at their intersections with Scarborough Beach Road.

A concept plan (Plan No, 3693-CP) for both locations is included in this consultation pack.

It is not proposed to install a street tree, as previously suggested, in the road in the widened portion of either street as it would result in a loss of on-road parking adjacent the respective businesses, which in-turn would potentially result in a further concentration of parking in the residential part of both streets.

Parking

In keeping in line with the City’s Accessible City Strategy, the City has proposed to install a 3P parking restriction from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday in Birrell, Eucla and Federation Streets, both sides, between Scarborough Beach Road and Milton Street.

The section of Federation Street which has a 1P restriction, which will remain, but will be changed to 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.

The existing 2P in Eucla Street would also change to 3P so that it is the same restriction the length of the street.

Parking demand at Milton Street and Federation Street south of Milton Street will be monitored and if necessary, the parking restrictions could be extended.

The three-hour parking restriction allows businesses and residents to have some surety of parking turnover and availability by eliminating people and commuters from parking all-day.

Where restrictions are installed, residents are eligible for e-permits which will provide them with exemptions to the parking restrictions. For information, visit www.vincent.wa.gov.au.
