Leichhardt Council is proposing a pilot Living Streets program for one side of Taylor Street, Annandale.

Taylor Street Annandale, is at the Eastern side of Annandale and is intersected by Booth St. There are two hardware stores on opposite sides of Booth St, facing the intersection.

The northern half comprises single dwellings and a multi-dwelling complex with the street terminating in parkland.

The southern has a few single dwellings, a derelict printing works and some undeveloped land. There is a small playground at the end. There are also multi-storey-apartments, with street level retail spaces on the northern side of the street. These are elevated in line with a natural cliff face.

There is more potential for developing the Southern side of Taylor St.
