City of Sydney Council has completed shared zone improvement works near Redfern railway station.
The upgrade gives riders a clear path to connect with the existing Wilson Street cycleway, while supporting increased foot traffic to and from the upgraded Redfern station.
“The western side of Redfern station is a gateway for university students, workers and residents and it’s fantastic we have been able to make getting in and out of the station safely a priority,” said Lord Mayor, Clover Moore AO.
“Making one of Sydney’s most popular train stations more accessible helps encourage the use of vital infrastructure like public and active transport, which helps drive down emissions and reduce congestion on our roads.
“We’ve greened the area and made it much more pleasant while making a seamless connection between Wilson Plaza and Little Eveleigh Street.”
As part of the works, the Council has:
- refreshed around 800m² of street space with new pavers;
- planted 10 trees to increase natural shading;
- planted 320m² of new plants to cool and beautify the area;
- improved lighting around the plaza;
- installed 10 new seats.
The Wilson Plaza improvements are part of the Council’s commitment to make Sydney a city for walking, riding and better public transport.
The project was supported and co-funded by Transport for NSW as part of its upgrade of Redfern station.
