"While it will improve pedestrian safety, it will also make it easier for community members pushing prams or using mobility devices to move around their neighbourhood," he said.
The $100,000 maintenance program will have about half the streets completed before Christmas and the remainder in the new year.
Grinding works will take place from Monday to Friday between 7am and 4pm, as well as, on Saturdays from 7am to 1pm.
