The pedestrian crossing and traffic signals at the Main Street Lilydale crossing will be temporarily closed from Monday 21 August to Friday 25 August, due to works to the footpath on the south side of the crossing at Main Street.
Pedestrians can still cross at the signalised crossing at the Lilydale Cenotaph/Ralph Goode Reserve.
The works are a part of the Lions Park Revitalisation Project, which will improve the public spaces and accessibility within the area.
Key works as part of this project include:
Improving access to the parks and shops with a new ramp and stairs
Extension of outdoor dining and seating areas
A rock garden/platform allowing access to the water front of Olinda Creek
New outdoor seating and picnic areas
Formalising car parks
New lighting
The is a co-funded project by the State Government’s Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions, and Yarra Ranges Council.
See a map of the area, with the ‘cross’ designating the work area/temporary closure, and the green ticks designating where pedestrians can cross Main St, Lilydale, during the works. Signage is also in place at the site notifying pedestrians of alternate crossing routes while the works are taking place.
