Inner West Council has unveiled a vision of slashing Victoria Road to one car lane in each direction to make Rozelle more like its “desirable sister suburb”, Balmain.
Part of Victoria Road would be reduced to one car lane in each direction with a 40km/h limit and a new cycleway would link the Bay Run and The Bays precinct under plans to transform one of Sydney’s least hospitable traffic-choked thoroughfares.
Now the Inner West Council has released its vision, which includes slashing the number of traffic lanes to four , installing a separated bike path, widening the footpaths and planting trees. “The former government’s repeated assertions that traffic volumes would be reduced by 50 per cent or more is not supported by a single piece of data,” he said. “We took their assertions at face value given they were made so frequently [but] we’ve got to be honest and realistic with our community.”
In a statement, Transport for NSW said it was finalising a future strategy for Victoria Road, which would include better public transport access, greening and improved amenity for local businesses.
