City of Newcastle is calling for feedback on its plans for more restricted parking in Wallsend to help increase traffic turnover.
The council proposes to introduce time limits on 58 parking spots in Bunn, William, Charles, Kemp, Metcalfe and Murnin streets and reduce time limits on nine spaces in Nelson and Tyrell streets.
The parking changes are designed to dovetail with the council's proposed Wallsend town centre upgrades, which have been in planning since 2015.
Wallsend state MP Sonia Hornery said the suburb's businesses had been asking for changes to parking time limits.
"Now, local businesses, residents and visitors to Wallsend can have their say on some ideas that council have put forward to improve the turnover of traffic in the area," she said.
"Wallsend is a growing local centre currently undergoing renewal, and the proposed parking changes aim to improve access to local businesses for residents and visitors and support upcoming work to revitalise the town centre."
The council is taking feedback on its website until July 12.
City of Newcastle replaced the Tyrell Street bridge over Ironbark Creek in March as part of its flood mitigation program for Wallsend.
It will start detailed design work next financial year on upgrading the Boscawen and Nelson street bridges.
