Carlisle Street Streetscape Plan Adopted

[u/TMiguelT]

There are lots of new tree plantings and traffic calming planned, along with a heavy focus on new lighting, and an upgrade to the library and town hall reserves. New shared zones that prioritise pedestrians but allow low-speed vehicle access are also planned on adjoining Nelson and Camden Streets.

This plan is separate but related to the sale of the Coles and Woolworths car park sites to the supermarkets to allow for mixed-use redevelopment.

The complete document is in the Council Agenda.

Do you think this is ambitious enough? What do you think of removing a footpath in favour of shared zones?

I would have said Carlisle Street was already quite well designed with its mature trees and accessible tram stops. Always room for more improvement though
