Young Street Cycling, Walking and Streetscape Upgrades
Consultation has concluded
Project Update
The Young Street Cycling, Walking and Streetscape Upgrades are due to start construction early 2025. The community will be kept informed of construction updates during the delivery period.
Background
In June 2021, Council consulted on proposed cycling, walking and streetscape upgrades to Young Street, from Sutherland Street to Grosvenor Street. The project is part of Council’s response to community demand for improved walking and cycling connections. The NSW State Government is providing funding for the construction of this project.
The designs were endorsed at the North Sydney Traffic Committee meeting on 21 April 2023. You can view the designs here and Traffic Committee report here.
The project proposes the following:
- installation of protected (signalised) pedestrian crossings over Young Street at the intersection with Belgrave Street.
- addition of right turn lanes on Young Street at the intersection with Belgrave Street to reduce congestion at peak periods.
- new raised pedestrian crossing over Sutherland Street to the immediate west of the intersection with Young Street.
- continuation of the existing Young Street cycle path to the Neutral Bay village (Grosvenor Street).
- the removal of seven (7) parking spots on Young Street - three (3) north and four (4) south of Belgrave Street.
- increased areas of peak hour ‘no-stopping’ zones on Belgrave Street, so that clearways operate in both directions in both the am and pm peak period.
- new garden beds/landscaping alongside sections of the path.
Further Information
Council is committed to keeping the community informed throughout the project. Construction will commence in early 2025, during the holiday period, to minimise disruptions to traffic and residents. Regular updates will be provided to keep you informed of progress.
