Are you interested in making your local street greener, more walkable and safer for everyone? We want to work with our Albert Park local community, to reimagine your local streets. Streets and public places are most successful when local people have the opportunity to be part of the planning and design process and we encourage you to be a part of this process.

The following streets in Albert Park are listed for road reconstruction within the next 4 years and this is your opportunity to think about how you would like to see your local streets into the future:

Living Streets is about reimagining the design of your street and neighbourhood to prioritise people; whether it be as a walker, bike rider, driver or to socialise with family and neighbours. Local streets were once places for neighbours to gather and talk, they allowed kids to play without the feeling of being unsafe. These days, some streets can be car dominated, congested, and have little space for landscaping and activities where neighbours connect with one another.

By reimagining your street, it allows you to take back what once was yours and create places for people, which promotes overall wellbeing.

Design ideas could include:

• Places to sit and rest that are age friendly
• Things to see, do and experience on the journey
• Raingardens (stormwater filtering system)
• Spaces for kids to play and neighbours to gather
• Safer and easier crossing points to connect to places
• Wider greener verges
• Local landscaping and tree planting to help cool streets
• Methods to slow the speed of vehicles
• Considerations to future use of land in the area
