WORKS to build new footpaths are slated to get underway this month to help better connect the suburbs of Ocean Grove and Collendina.<\/p>\n
The Ocean Grove Principal Pedestrian Network plans to deliver more than 20 kilometres of new pathways over the next few years, ensuring safer access to destinations such as schools and local businesses across the region.<\/p>\n
Designs are being finalised for paths to be constructed at Thacker Street (Blue Waters Drive to Field Street North), Draper Street (Eggleston Street to Tuckfield Street), Field Street South (133 \u2013 The Parade) and The Avenue (Presidents Avenue to Tuckfield Street).<\/p>\n
City of Greater Geelong executive director of city infrastructure James Stirton said the network was helping to make “old” Ocean Grove and Collendina more inclusive and accessible.<\/p>\n
“We thank residents for their patience during construction and for treating our crews with respect.<\/p>\n
“It’s great to see the community out and about utilising the new paths, including parents pushing prams and people with mobility aids.”<\/p>\n
Works have already been marked complete and footpaths are being used at Shell Road, Aldebaran Road, North side of Marlin Drive and on Presidents Avenue, in front of Ocean Grove Park.<\/p>\n
