The plan will be considered by independent commissioner Louise Taylor at a meeting of the Dunedin City Council's hearings committee on Wednesday.
A summary of public submissions, made public before the meeting, showed widespread public support for the change among submitters.
The council received 46 submissions on the proposal, of which 40 supported the proposal and six were opposed, a staff report prepared for the hearing said.
The main issues raised included the benefits of pedestrianisation, improved pedestrian safety and the area's look and feel. Some submitters also wanted to ensure access was maintained for people with mobility issues and for emergency and delivery vehicles.
In addition, the report pointed to public feedback on two earlier trial closures of the road to vehicles, in January 2018 and February-March this year.
The council had received 150 submissions on the first closure, of which 127 were in support and a further 15 supported it with reservations.
The second trial closure prompted another 54 submissions, including 44 in support of the closure and four in support, with reservations.
Online polls also showed strong levels of support, including a Facebook poll which attracted 1500 votes, of which 80% voted for the change.
The latest public feedback came after councillors at a Dunedin City Council meeting in May voted overwhelmingly in favour of progressing pedestrianisation of the area by launching a special consultative procedure.
The proposal, if approved, would restrict cars from in front of the railway station, from Anzac Ave to the entrance of the listed heritage building.
Arrangements would be in place for coaches, Otago Art Society members and those in need of disability parks.
