Council is proposing to construct landscaped kerb extensions in Darley Street at the intersection of Marrickville Road to increase pedestrian safety, enhance the local streetscape and improve drainage.

The proposed works include:

• constructing landscaped kerb extensions on both sides of Darley Street to reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians;
• reconstructing the footpath near the kerb extensions;
• constructing kerb ramps on both sides of the street;
• constructing a concrete dish drain across Darley Street at Marrickville Road;
• providing new street tree within the kerb extension; and
• installing all associated signage, replacing any damaged signs and reinstating faded line markings.

This proposal will not result in the removal of any legal on-street parking spaces.

Council is also proposing to resurface Darley Street between Marrickville Road and Pine Street this financial year, subject to final funding allocations.
