Background
|
Darlington Road is a
major pedestrian route for residents and students travelling between the King
Street and Darlington Public School, sports facilities, the University of
Sydney. The Newtown, Darlington,
Erskineville and Camperdown Pedestrian, Cycling and Traffic Calming (PCTC)
Plan, adopted by Council, acknowledges this and includes traffic and
landscaping treatments to improve pedestrian safety at the intersection of
Darlington Road and Golden Grove Street. It is therefore proposed
to install a raised pedestrian crossing across Golden Grove Street and a
continuous footpath treatment across Darlington Road to provide pedestrians
priority, slow down traffic in the area, and increase the driver's awareness
of people in the area. |
