Background

Sydney Metro is constructing the Sydney Metro line, from Bankstown to Sydney CBD and this includes an underground station in Waterloo. The station is bound by Botany Road, Raglan, Cope and Wellington Streets and will provide access to high speed rail, for residents of Waterloo and reduce demand on nearby Redfern and Green Square train stations.

As part of the new metro station, the installation of the proposed traffic signals at Cope and Raglan Streets, will improve safety and access for pedestrians and cyclists to the new metro station at Waterloo.
