Skip to main content Construction work on Glebe Road and Court Street Adamstown has started to prepare for the installation of traffic lights at the intersection of Glebe Road and Park Avenue.  These upgrades will help to reduce vehicle crashes and improve accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists by providing an improved connection to local schools and enhance the link between the city and Fernleigh Track. The below works have been completed: Now that the traffic lights have been installed <span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;"> </span>This works must be conducted during the scheduled Sydney Trains rail shutdown as coordination of the traffic lights and the existing rail level crossing signals (boom gates) is required.  The traffic light work will be undertaken over a continuous period between 9pm Friday 16 May and 10pm Sunday 18 May St James Road and Court Street will be closed during this time Detours and signage will be in place during this time Please follow the directions of onsite traffic controllers Further works will be conducted following the traffic lights being made operational the new cul-de-sac in Court Street will allow eastbound traffic to turn left into Court Street travel around the cul-de-sac and proceed through the intersection on the next green signal This will assist eastbound traffic on Glebe Road to access the Adamstown area.This change to traffic flow will replace the right turn at Wood Street which will be removed to improve safety (to read more about this go to our FAQs below).More information will be provided to the community as planning progresses.This project is joint funded with the Australian Government Black Spot Program New direction of traffic for access to Park Avenue from St James Road High numbers of accidents have occurred at the intersections of Glebe Road with Park Avenue and Wood Street There are also numerous near misses at the existing pedestrian crossing on Park Avenue south of Glebe Road As it is not compulsory to report non-injury accidents to the NSW Police (as has been the case for several years now) it is expected that the actual number of accidents is significantly higher than documented statistics Following consultation with residents and businesses traffic control signals (TCS aka traffic lights) were approved by Council in 2014 cyclists using the R1 regional cycleway are directed to cross Glebe Road at Teralba Road This is very challenging for inexperienced and/or non-confident riders The new traffic lights will incorporate cycle lanterns and allow a safer crossing of Glebe Road there was a proposal for an overpass of the Adamstown level crossing to allow free flow of traffic uninterrupted by rail movements The Draft Newcastle Local Environmental Plan 2000 did not propose a zone for the area immediately around the Adamstown level crossing due to uncertainty surrounding funding and land area requirements It was also considered that an overpass would detract from the amenity of the area and detrimentally affect walkability Current design standards would require an even greater footprint for construction of an overpass an overpass would not readily be considered as a future option Transport for NSW is currently investigating options for the Lower Hunter Freight Corridor, which, when implemented, will enhance amenity and liveability in the area by removing most of the freight trains from the Adamstown level crossing. For more information, visit Transport for NSW's project webpage The right turns at Wood Street are being closed due to a high number of accidents that happen when vehicles turn into or out of this intersection It is also essential to keep both the Glebe Road and Park Avenue intersection and rail crossing free from obstruction The new traffic lights will have a queue detection sensor in Glebe Road to keep the intersection and rail crossing clear for safety Without removing the right turn into Wood Street there is a high risk that queued vehicles will stretch back to the rail crossing These vehicles would trigger the queue detection sensor causing frequent delays for eastbound traffic and negatively impacting the surrounding road network Alternatives for Eastbound Traffic on Glebe Road: For those who used to turn right from Glebe Road into Wood Street you can now choose from the following options: then make a U-turn in the cul-de-sac and then drive straight through the intersection to access Park Avenue (see map above) - Turn right into Burke Street (a passing lane on the left will be implemented to allow smooth traffic flow past turning vehicles) - Turn right into Teralba Road (as it operates currently) - Turn right into Date Street (as it operates currently) Safer Right Turn Options from Wood Street: For those who previously turned right from Wood Street into Glebe Road eastbound the new traffic lights at Park Avenue and Glebe Road will offer a safer and more frequent right turn option than is currently provided at Wood Street This is a complex project with a long lead time The traffic lights are proposed to be integrated with the adjacent level crossing and the impending upgrade of the signalling system by Sydney Trains The traffic light phasing will be coordinated with the operation of the Adamstown level crossing gates Installation of the traffic lights and associated upgrades is joint funded by City of Newcastle and the Australian Government under the Australian Government Black Spot Program this program is administered by Transport for NSW (TfNSW) Some preliminary work involving improvements to footways and drainage have been undertaken to support this project Completion of the project will improve safety at the intersections of Glebe Road with Park Avenue and Wood Street for all users Regional cycleway R1 will be re-routed to the traffic lights to facilitate safer crossing of Glebe Road for cyclists and pedestrians Interfacing the traffic lights with the operation of the railway gates will also improve conditions for motorists we are undertaking all the preparatory works for the traffic light installation It is expected that traffic lights will be operational in 2025 Following the installation of the traffic lights Sydney Trains propose to upgrade the level crossing signalling system This upgrade work is being designed and managed by Sydney Trains The Newcastle City Traffic Committee (NCTC) has considered multiple options and combinations to address the accident history at the intersection of Glebe Road and Park Avenue and impacts on the surrounding streets in the Adamstown area Among the options considered in recent years are a roundabout at the intersection with Park Avenue traffic lights at Wood Street and banning of right turn movements at Teralba The traffic light installation at the intersection of Glebe Road and Park Avenue is the preferred option and was strongly supported in the consultation undertaken The potential for queuing across the level crossing has been considered and appropriate time has been incorporated in signal phasing and coordination with the level crossing gates to prevent this from happening We intend to install advance directional signage indicating where to turn to if heading to the Adamstown area south of Glebe Road Right turn movements from Glebe Road are still permitted into various streets The preferred movements for eastbound vehicles on St James Road that miss the Court Street turn would be to continue on Glebe Road left into Kyle Road and left onto Brunker Road Operation of the traffic lights and the level crossing boom gates will be integrated The St James Road level crossing is currently manually operated and Sydney Trains propose to semi-automate the controls as part of their upgrades planned following completion of the traffic lights The pedestrian gates at the level crossing will operate in accordance with the level crossing controls If the level crossing boom gates allow traffic movements across the level crossing pedestrians will be able to move through the pedestrian gates We have identified this location for future works and scheduled for early 2025 The works include lowering the height in the centre of the roundabout to facilitate better turning movements for trucks which are currently mounting the kerb on the roundabout These existing movements are associated with the light industrial area located in Bailey and Fletcher streets and Garden Grove Parade The intersection upgrades at Glebe Road and Park Avenue will follow once the roundabout works are complete Upgrades to Adamstown Train Station is a NSW Government led initiative These upgrades and modifications are part of the Mariyung and Regional Rail fleet projects. There will be some work at Adamstown Train station included as part of these upgrades. For more information, click the link here: Rail Infrastructure Upgrades project Photo by Sebastiandoe5 via WikiCommons The board is seeking $165 million in damages along with punitive damages and compensation for losses tied to declining property values caused by flooding and erosion from the cracks the board alleges that the developers deliberately ignored advice from architects and engineers and continued constructing the 1,396-foot residential tower which was at the time the tallest in the Western Hemisphere to “avoid delays and maximize profits,” according to the suit While the developers have yet to respond legally, a spokeswoman for CIM denied the allegations, stating the company is working to get the complaint dismissed, according to Crain’s The developers have previously dismissed accusations of negligent construction work at the tower as “exaggerated,” while residents claim the facade cracks have caused unsettling whistling sounds during high winds, hardly reassuring for those living in a tower that already sways in strong gusts, as the New York Times detailed in 2021 Macklowe has claimed they are typical and to be expected with the building materials used The cracks were at the center of the initial lawsuit filed against the developers in 2021 a case that remains tied up in a drawn-out legal process The latest lawsuit further claims the developers were aware of the concrete’s flaws during the design and construction phase from 2011 to 2015 this information was discovered late last year after lawyers reviewed seven million documents and conducted 100 days of depositions The board initially tried to add the new evidence to the existing lawsuit ruling that introducing it so late in the process would be unfair to the defendants leading the plaintiffs to file a separate suit engineers recommended repairing the cracks by applying an elastomeric coating—a thick opaque paint—but Macklowe rejected the suggestion reportedly because he didn’t want to ruin the building’s white Instead, Macklowe suggested using a clear silicone finish to repair the 30-inch-thick concrete facade, similar to the one used to protect his yacht, as reported by Crain’s The lawsuit says he modified the condo’s offering plan multiple times to dodge responsibility for the cracks Designed by the late Rafael Viñoly, the 96-story 432 Park Avenue tower soars 1,396 feet above Manhattan, standing as the third-tallest residential tower in the world. Construction began in 2013, and the building opened in 2015. In August 2023, a $92 million condo in the tower went into contract, marking the priciest deal of the year at that time By providing your email address, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy Comment * document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id" "ab157168137e682386957ae88271d186" );document.getElementById("d57a537edf").setAttribute( "id" and website in this browser for the next time I comment By providing your email address, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy Let us know what you are looking for and we’ll help you find the home of your dreams We’ll provide current market comps and connect you with a trusted expert By providing your email address, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.You can unsubscribe at any time ALDI has announced the grand opening of its much-anticipated second Rockhampton store The new store located in the Stockland Rockhampton Shopping Centre will offer locals a supermarket experience like no other, providing shoppers with award-winning grocery products at low prices and iconic Special Buys together with award winning fresh fruit, vegetables ALDI Australia Regional Managing Director Tremaine Spillane says: “It’s with great pleasure that we announce the grand opening of our new ALDI Park Avenue store will take place on Wednesday and introducing our beloved middle aisle to Central Queensland we’ve been overwhelmed by the incredible support from the local community The addition of a second store in the area will make shopping at ALDI more convenient for residents and help us provide even more Queenslanders with access to affordable high-quality groceries at a time when it’s needed most “Locals who journey down to the grand opening will find a unique selection of Special Buy items alongside our range of exclusive brands designed to deliver award winning quality at the lowest prices We look forward to welcoming everyone to ALDI Park Avenue from Wednesday 29 January to experience the savings that can be made for themselves.” ALDI Park Avenue is located at Stockland Rockhampton Shopping Centre Every product is independently selected by editors Things you buy through our links may earn Vox Media a commission Owners at 432 Park Avenue have filed another lawsuit against the condo’s developers. Just a few years after alleging in a separate suit that the 96-story tower on Billionaire’s Row has at least 1,500 defects (including a trash chute that allegedly “sounds like a bomb”) owners on Friday filed a complaint in Manhattan Supreme Court claiming developers Harry Macklowe and CIM Group knew about widespread cracking in the building’s exposed concrete façade and engaged in “deliberate and far-reaching fraud” to cover it up 432 Park’s condo board alleged in the latest suit, which was first reported by Crain’s that CIM and Macklowe not only ignored warnings from architects and engineers about the crisscrossing exterior’s cracking but hid these problems from city inspectors and buyers in hopes of “avoiding delays and maximizing profits.” The suit which is seeking at least $165 million in damages plus compensation for depressed property values claims that the “thousands” of cracks led to flooding and corrosion in the building the developers were well aware of the cracking in the building’s façade but failed to adequately address the defects and even attempted to hide them this information was unearthed after lawyers for the owners read through 7 million pages of documents and conducted 100 days of depositions So what was Macklowe’s alleged reaction to warnings about cracking In addition to allegedly altering the condo’s offering plan in order to mitigate any responsibility for the defects the suit claims he waved off the engineers’ advice to apply a thick coating of elastomeric paint to the building’s exterior which he worried would alter the façade’s look; instead he suggested applying a clear silicone material that he uses on his yacht argued that an invisible sealant was good enough for his yacht and therefore was good enough for the Building,” the suit reads A spokesperson for CIM denied the allegations and told me that the company would move to have the latest suit dismissed. Reps for Macklowe didn’t respond a request for comment, but the developer’s team previously called claims about the cracks and other construction issues “vastly exaggerated.” she was “avoiding” taking buyers to the building 14 out of 18 units on the market had gone through at least one price cut with the average listing discount being 13.2 percent from the highest ask at least one owner I spoke to recently said he’s a fan of life in the beleaguered tower By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice and to receive email correspondence from us.
