Background
The proposed works were informed by feedback received during an extensive community engagement carried out in 2014 to develop the Ashfield Town Centre Renewal - Public Domain Strategy.

Installing bollards around potential outdoor dinning areas to improve safety
Installing overhead wires to exhibit temporary art works
Improving safety
As part of the upgrade Council is proposing to introduce shared zone from Liverpool Street to The Esplanade including reduced speed limit to 10km/hour. There will be no parking loss associated with the upgrade however existing time restricted ‘No Parking’ zones will be replaced with time restricted ‘Loading Zones’ and parking bays will be marked.
The proposed implementation of the 10km/hour ‘Shared Zone’ in Fox Lane is subject to approval by the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS). Should the RMS not grant approval for the ‘Shared Zone’, Council will proceed with the proposed improvements with minor modifications.
