Clarke Street north of Neville Street, Bass Hill is a local road located in close proximity of two Schools; Bass Hill Public School and Bass Hill Preschool. At the existing pedestrian crossing, there is a lack of kerb ramps which forces people with prams and wheelchair users to use adjacent driveways when crossing Clarke Street, exposing them to heavy traffic in particular during school drop off and pick up times.

As part of Council’s 2023/24 Capital Works Program we are proposing to install new kerb ramps and footpaths on either side of Clarke Street, making the area more accessible for all groups of pedestrians.

Council has applied for funding under Transport for NSW’s Active Transport program and is currently completing consultation to understand the community’s feedback on the proposal. The implementation of the kerb ramps is subject to grant funding from Transport for NSW.

This project is in line with Council’s vision of a ‘moving and integrated’ City, whereby we are improving the movement around our City for all users whilst also being a ‘safe and strong’ City.
