Flaherty Lane Walkway Trial Survey

A trial of a two-metre wide pedestrian walkway along Flaherty Lane is underway. Complete this survey to provide feedback on the trial.

In August a temporary walkway was installed along Flaherty Lane and the Lane became an exit only for vehicles leaving Ozone Carpark. Vehicles seeking to enter the carpark are being directed to enter via Timor Street and De Grandi Lane

The aim of the trial is to make Flaherty Lane safer for people walking between Ozone Carpark and Kepler Street. Prior to the trial people walking through Flaherty Lane either had to use the narrow kerb or share the road with vehicles entering and leaving the carpark. This was particularly difficult for people using mobility aids or pushing prams. Creating a dedicated walkway provides a clear separation between people and vehicles.
