The proposal involves upgrading Hickson Road South to be a safe, accessible and high-quality public street. The proposal extends from the Napoleon Street intersection to the south, and the steps to High Street, Barangaroo, to the north. Sydney Metro has already delivered upgrades to the northern half of Hickson Road.

Key elements of the proposal include:

• retaining Hickson Road as a two-way road, including upgraded, wider footpaths on both sides of the road, new pedestrian crossings, and improved landscaping and street furniture
• a new separated two-way active transport corridor on the eastern side of the road
• new street lighting and wayfinding signage
• utility works, including drainage and stormwater upgrades
• landscaping with plants, trees and furniture.
