Other traffic news:
Since 26 November 2015 the Council has had an outstanding action to receive a report regarding any options for traffic lights at River Street and Cooper Street following the completion of the Macksville bypass.
Since then there have been almost endless delays in attempts to have the necessary RMS review for the provision of traffic lights (which is their responsibility).
Fast forward four years to August this year when the Mayor, Rhonda Hoban and the Assistant General Manager Corporate Services, Paul Gallagher met with the RMS Regional Director to discuss this and other matters.
The Regional Director advised that Council develop a concept plan for connectivity and engage in discussions with the community, steps the council already effectively took between 2013 and 2015 when it commissioned Bennell & Associates and Jackie Amos Landscape Architect to prepare revitalisation plans for Macksville post-bypass in association with the traffic management report prepared by RoadNet.
The importance of accessible and legible streets as well as the ready availability of on and off street parking for centre vitality is well known.
It is common sense that a centre which is readily accessible will be more prosperous than a centre which is less so.
- Council report
Council's Manager Technical Services has now prepared a proposed layout for the intersection of Cooper and River streets which allows right turning movements regulated by stop signs on River St.
This will allow both south and north bound traffic to turn right into River Street.
There are short bays for a vehicle wishing to turn right out of River St which will still allow a slip lane for left turning movements.
The proposal will significantly improve access to the Macksville CBD foreshore which is an important destination for tourists and visitors.
The council voted in favour of requesting the Local Traffic Committee to endorse the proposed changes.
