The project is on West Street, from Ridge St to Amherst St, covering 1.1 kilometres

There will be a loss of 1 tree and the addition of 30 trees, totaling a net gain of 29 trees.

West Street is a local road and vehicle speeds should reflect a lower speed environment. Traffic calming, such as road narrowing, raised crossings and intersection treatments lower speeds and create a safer environment for young people and the general community.

Improvements for pedestrians include continuous footpath treatments at most intersections, 3 additional pedestrian crossings, kerb build outs and upgraded pedestrian refuges.

To ensure a comfortable and safe journey for bus passengers, an in-lane bus stop has been proposed to accommodate passengers waiting for, and dismounting from buses. There is a maximum of four buses per hour in peak periods, which will have minimal impact on vehicle traffic.
