Council has a limited budget for footpath works so itโs about spending money where it matters the most. (As an operational matter, the criteria are determined by council staff.)
Back in June, residents were pleased to see the introduction of a footpath along a small stretch of Frances Street Lindfield, near the town centre. This was previously a rocky / uneven surface so the introduction of a footpath came as a pleasant surprise.
This financial year (2022/23) my understanding is that there may be footpath upgrades at Babbage Road from Ormonde to the Roseville Bridge Walkway, Bradfield Road from Charles to Carramar, and possibly also a small section of Ontario Avenue. Council also seeks to ensure that there will be at least one footpath on each street (so long as residents support the introduction of the footpath), and this naturally means that a greater portion of spend will be given to the Northern suburbs in the coming years (as there has historically been more development and footpaths in the southern end).
If you are keen to have a footpath introduced to your street, please let me know. I know Babbage Road south of Carramar has been keen for a number of years, and my role is to raise the issue with council staff and monitor progress. (I canโt actually change their prioritisation.)
