Nine footpaths from Campsie to Revesby, Georges Hall to Ashbury were upgraded as part of Council’s $180,000 Pedestrian Access Mobility Program.
The upgrades included: Reconstructing the footpaths, removing cracks and trip hazards; Building new ramps on either side of the road, allowing better access for wheelchairs and prams; and New kerb and guttering.
Canterbury-Bankstown Mayor Khal Asfour said the annual program makes things a little easier for residents who may have difficulties getting around the City.
“The community has been asking for a more walkable City, and these upgrades are a step forward to achieving that goal,” Mayor Asfour said.
“This is just another way of making our City more accessible for all.”
Footpaths were upgraded at the intersections of: Brighton Avenue and Shakespeare Street, Campsie; Glenview Avenue and Horsley Road, Revesby; Marco Avenue and Carson Street, Revesby; Mars Street and Hydrae Street, Revesby; Trevenar Street and Allibone Street, Ashbury; Wright Close and Georges Crescent, Georges Hall; Lehn Road and Cowland Avenue, East Hills; Lehn Road and Harcourt Avenue, East Hills; and Lehn Road and Blair Avenue, East Hills.
