​Canterbury-Bankstown has re-vamped some of its footpaths to help improve accessibility for pedestrians as they pave their way throughout the City.

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.
