Oxford Street Meeting with Transport for NSW

Oxford Street, Darlinghurst NSW is a major route from the East to Sydney City. The safe and efficient movement of people walking, riding bicycles, catching public transport and businesses should be prioritised.

Better Streets met with Transport for NSW to discuss the Oxford Street project, currently known as the Oxford Street cycleway - link for more details. 
​Better Streets proposed the following:

• The project be called Urban Renewal Plan or Streetscape Improvement - easier and nicer to walk - localised footpath widening and buffer from traffic noise and pollution, trees and shade, outdoor dining,
• The project integrate with the City of Sydney's City Access Strategy, Woollahra Urban Forestry Strategy (which would improve buy-in with Paddington Society)
• Limit construction time with minimal disruption
• The Street be zoned as 30km/h speed zone in order to maximise placemaking benefits for businesses - this is within Transport for NSW guidelines. 
• Do not support the proposed changes to the lane travel widths. Oxford Street is not an arterial bus route here, 333 is a local bus because of transition to Bondi Junction.
