Investigation update

5 March 2021

In August 2020 and January 2021, Council exhibited the initial and modified road safety improvements proposals for William Street between Kingsgrove Road and Woolcott Street respectively. These exhibitions featured a number of new devices to improve safety levels for all users such as a series of raised thresholds, a pedestrian refuge island at Hillside Avenue, traffic signals at Alfred Street and a roundabout at Warburton Parade.

Based on community feedback from these exhibitions, the Safer Roads proposal for William St between Kingsgrove Road and Woolcott Street has been amended and now includes:

  • Relocating the mid-block traffic signals from east of Hilltop Street to the Alfred Street and William Street intersection with the partial closure of Hilltop Street (as per the January 2021 exhibition); and
  • Installation of a pedestrian refuge island on Warburton Parade at William Street intersection.

  • Consultation with residents at the Warburton Parade/William Street intersection has been completed and the proposal is to considered at an upcoming Canterbury Bankstown Traffic Committee meeting.

    Our thanks to everyone that has provided feedback and comments for this project.
