HAROLD Fredericks Carpark will be closed for two days so Lismore City Council staff can undertake asphalt work to address major surface damage and improve driving and parking conditions.<\/p>\n
The carpark will be closed from 5am on Monday, January 20 until 11pm on Wednesday, January 22. It will reopen for normal business on Thursday, January 23.<\/p>\n
New line marking will enhance parking space visibility and safety for carpark users.<\/p>\n
These essential upgrades are funded through the Transport for NSW Safer Cities: Her Way program, which focuses on creating safer and more welcoming community spaces.<\/p>\n
The council received $1 million from the program for projects in the city.<\/p>\n
Completed works in the carpark include additional footpaths, lighting and CCTV, indigenous-inspired murals, landscaping, sculptural fencing and fairy lights. The disability car parking spaces have also been relocated to allow safer access to footpaths.<\/p>\n
The program has improved safety and accessibility to the laneway that joins Brown\u2019s Creek Carpark to Woodlark Street.<\/p>\n
The laneway now boasts artworks by local artists, catenary lighting, CCTV, seating, safety bollards and a convex mirror \u2013 all of which improve safety and accessibility, and reflect Lismore\u2019s character and identity.<\/p>\n
The locations were identified for upgrade after community consultation to identify safety issues in the CBD and ways to make it safer for the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
