Background

The City in April 2018, consulted the community on the Alexandria Local Area Traffic Management Plan, which recommended a number of traffic calming treatments to mitigate the impacts of WestConnex on local roads

The permanent road closure of Lawrence Street mid-block between Maddox and Harley Streets was a recommended treatment to reduce short-cut traffic using the street, make it safer for people walking in the area and increase open space in Alexandria.
