Transport

Good Pedestrian Access

There are a choice of ways to get to and from Annandale and around it.

There are wonderful continuous and sometimes shady shared paths. These are an important shared community space, used by people on foot, non-motorised scooters or bicycles, people in wheelchairs and mothers with prams.

Paths through parkland along Johnston Creek and White's Creek.

Cycling

• Cycleways sharing the Streets - The Path is there to Share.
  On a Shared Path keep left, give way to pedestrians, ring your bell early, control your pets. be polite and aware of others....sydneycycleways.net

• The Light Rail travels over the viaduct from Lilyfield to Central Station, via Annandale, Glebe, the Fish Markets, Pyrmont and Darling Harbour. Alighting at the Rozelle Bay stop puts you at the "Paris" end of Annandale.
• The nearest Train Station is Stanmore, though this is a small station and fast trains by pass it. Town Hall is more convenient than Central Station, as the platforms are closer to where you can alight from Busses from Annandale.

• There is a pontoon jetty at Rozelle Bay, at the end of Johnston Street and the Super Marina at the Mouth of the bay

The Light Rail also skirts Annandale on the Harbour Side.

Scooters are becoming an increasingly familiar site.

Sadly, a large number of locals miss out (on the pretty environment, involvement in the community and health benefits) by choosing to sit in their cars and slowing the buses. A large number of vehicles pass through Annandale every day - sitting with other in the traffic on Johnston St, Collins, Booth, Paramatta and the Crescent.

• "Traffic and pupil safety
  197 A number of the objectors raised concerns about traffic, particularly, as I understood them, in the context of pupil safety of the schools in the vicinity. I am satisfied, on the basis of the material contained in the joint reports from the traffic engineers, that the council's proposed condition of consent that will prevent deliveries being made to the site during morning and afternoon pupil arrival and departure times is an appropriate response.
  198 Indeed, I note that, from my observation of parent behaviour in Wellington Street in the vicinity of the school at the time I arrived for the site inspection, irresponsible parent parking (and double-parking!) in restricted and inappropriate areas is likely to be a greater danger to the pupils of that school than any traffic generated by development on the site..."-www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au

"NSW's big cities, especially Sydney, are poisoning the environment and making us all sicker and more stressed. The longer we continue with the state's "transport model" - where cars carry 78% of people to work and trucks 60% of goods - the worse things will get...www.greenleft.org.au

• Tuesday 12th October: Annandale Town Hall [Neighbourhood Centre], 79 Johnston Street Annandale
• Wednesday 13th October: Balmain Town Hall
