What we’re doing
We plan to improve Pring Street, Woolloomooloo to make it safer for people walking.
During the Woolloomooloo Playground upgrade consultations we heard community concerns about pedestrian safety on Pring Street, particularly for school children moving between the school, park and McElhone Steps.
In response to this feedback we undertook traffic studies and have developed a draft design for traffic calming measures along Pring Street.
Our concept design includes:
- removing 2 car bays on Pring Street
- keeping 2-way traffic and installing a passing bay
- new bollard areas to provide refuge zones for pedestrians and increase visibility around corners into and on Pring Street
- new road paving to encourage drivers to slow down
- a speed bump to slow traffic down the hill
- retaining the existing 10km/h speed limits
- moving existing speed limit signs to improve visibility
- planting low hedges around the park entry to direct pedestrians across Dowling Street.
Next steps
We will report all feedback and design changes to the Local Pedestrian, Cycling and Traffic Calming Committee and will continue to a detailed design. We will keep you updated on the progress of this project.
