Art Loveralmost 3 years agoI would love to see more sculpture in public areas such as parks, CBD & recreational areas.
Great work by local sculptor recently shown at Peisley Street Gallery.

There's very little to like about Lords Place at the moment so there's lots to do to making it tourist friendly as well as for the locals, good wide footpaths are essential, if there's to be parking, it needs to be pedestrian friendly, otherwise somewhere nearby, road width could be reduced as well as the speed limit. if there's to be a multi level carpark, it's essential it has a lift.
0 comment1wwwalkeralmost 3 years agohave bicycle parking racks or trails
Have bicycle parking racks so people can safely cycle and park the bicycle and lock it up so it is not stolen. Bicycles take up much less parking than cars and are much faster than walking. There could be small bicycle trails if pedestrians or shops complain of too many bicycles. Bicycles also carry more than a pedestrian so the sales will go up increasing business. People could commute from home to buy one or two things then cycle home again. Everyone must lock up as there are many bicycle thieves in Orange. I have had a bicycle stolen and it was never found.

0 comment0Anna24almost 3 years agoPlease keep the beautiful old buildings, and just modernise the insides of them. They are essential to the character of our town.
Keep the old architecture and trees

wwwalkeralmost 3 years agomore new shops with ecommerce
There are a lot of dead shops in Lords Place. It needs to be more attractive for shoppers and retailers with parking or clustering with similar shops to grow the area. Often two or three shops in similar trade help each other if they are side by side, e.g. food, clothing, office materials or outdoors shops. Ecommerce could help bring in customers from out of town.
0 comment2simonwrightalmost 3 years agoIf Council is really serious about a food street, shut off to traffic after 5pm and w/ends and make a european style piazza with markets etc
1 comment3Geminigail.almost 3 years agoSeriously. The biggest attraction in Orange is the wide streets. Leave them alone and concentrate on infrastructure (especially water).
Leave Lords Place (and all other streets) alone.
0 comment0jedalmost 3 years agoadd an off-road completely separated bike lane
South-west orange has a great bike network but it ends on Kite Street behind the Big W carpark and goes nowhere. This would be a great chance to extend it up Lords Place to summer street/robertson park. Space on kite street could be gained by removing the left turn bay.
0 comment0Jtsharpalmost 3 years agoRemove ALL the parking, add the eating areas there but allow traffic to still flow through with "drop off" lanes for people 2 moving lanes.
Like some schools have "kiss and drop" lanes, allow this so that you can drop off people but NOT park, this would then mean that you would only need one lane for traffic each way. The additional space can then be used for outdoor seating. When thinking about outdoor seating please be practical about it... we are in Orange - I have no doubt that you are thinking seriously about how that can work. We have lovely days throughout the year (even in winter sometimes) so outdoor can be well used on the right days.
