AMP Capital Shopping Centres (AMPCSC) is expanding Marrickville Metro. As part of this, AMPCSC will be improving traffic, pedestrian and cyclist conditions on Victoria Road, between Murray Street and the dead end.

The proposed work includes:

• Constructing a pedestrian refuge island and stamped concrete treatment at the intersection of Victoria Road and Murray Street;
• Extending the existing ‘No Stopping’ zones on Victoria Road to improve motorists’ visibility of pedestrians at the refuge;
• Upgrading the kerb ramps at this intersection;
• Modifying the existing cycleway refuge on Murray Street;
• Constructing a kerb extension and three speed cushions in front of 39 Victoria Road; and
• Installing associated traffic signs and line markings.

The proposal would reduce vehicle speed, prevent trucks from entering Victoria Road and increase safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

Parking changes

This proposal would result in the removal of two on-street parking spaces on Victoria Road at the Murray street intersection. Vehicle access to adjoining properties will remain.
