obviously there is considerable planning work being undertaken at the moment which involves examining the future of this important precinct and the rail corridor - however lift access to Redfern is a pressing issue and I feel it is so important we act now to address it.” <o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>Transport for NSW is investigating which platform to provide lift access to, and also works to address other issues such as ageing infrastructure, congestion on platforms and better integration of the station into the surrounding Redfern area. <o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p>City of Sydney councillor Christine Forster, a strong advocate for the project, welcomed the Government’s progress. <o:p></o:p></p><p> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>“This is such an important issue for the local community and the announcement of plans to install a lift at Redfern is very welcome after years of inaction by the previous State Government,” she said.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>_______________________________________________________________________________________________<o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>This email and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the use of the addressee(s) and may contain information that is confidential or subject to legal privilege.
