Background

In August 2021, the LPCTCC endorsed the implementation of angled parking in Portman Street, Merton Street and Hansard Street, Zetland to increase the availability of parking for residents in the surrounding area. This proposal included additional footpath widening at all intersections adjacent to the angled parking.

As part of detailed design development of the proposal, the City has identified additional pedestrian safety and accessibility improvements at the intersections adjacent to the endorsed angle parking proposal.
