Project details

Council has investigated pedestrian conditions in Jaggers Lane, Balmain. Jaggers Lane is a narrow lane and there is insufficient space for pedestrians and vehicles to safety pass each other.

Council is proposing a permanent closure of Jaggers Lane, between Duncan Street and Caroline Street, Balmain. The proposed closure is expected to improve pedestrian safety.


What does this proposal include?

The proposed closure will impact all vehicles including resident vehicles. Bollards at each end will be used to prevent car access and maintain existing connection for pedestrians and bicycle riders. The closure is shown below and is expected to improve road safety and pedestrian connectivity in the area.
