Project background

Thank you to everybody who shared their feedback on the proposed road safety changes.

We have received feedback and ideas on this project over a number of stages:

➡️ We took into account your feedback on a separate project in 2020 focusing on Trenerry Crescent.

➡️ In late 2021, we asked for your input to help us understand where and what types of road safety issues might need addressing.

➡️ In June/July 2022, we asked for your feedback on some proposed road safety treatments. As part of our second round of consultation we received 213 online and written submissions and more than 100 people attended the in person pop-up sessions.

➡️ We presented the recommended Road Safety Plan for the Clifton Hill to North Abbotsford Corridor at the Council Meeting on Tuesday 6 December 2022.

We listened to your feedback in 2020

We heard you clearly and took on board your feedback in 2020 when we asked you to consider closing sections of Trenerry Crescent to vehicles. You told us:

What did we hear in 2021?

In late 2021 we asked for your input to help us understand where and what types of road safety issues might need addressing. We received 406 contributions to the map board and 312 survey contributions. Around 81% of respondents were local to either Abbotsford or Clifton Hill. We also heard from people who work or visit the area (18%) and from a small number of respondents (1%) who travel through the area as part of a longer journey.

Find out what we heard during the first stage of consultation.

Your feedback, along with a road safety review, helped us identify a number of locations where the conflict between different types of road uses cause them to be higher risk. We developed some proposed road safety treatments for these locations.

Find out what was proposed

In June/July 2022 we asked for your feedback on proposed treatments at locations along the corridor.

As a result of community feedback, we did not propose to change the direction of travel on Yambla Street, Clifton Hill.

Other changes from the proposed treatments included:

  • The number of speed humps on Turner Street was reduced and a raised zebra crossing was included
  • The zebra crossing on Trenerry Street at Bath Street was to be raised
  • The design of the intersection at Gray Street, Noone Street and Trenerry Crescent was simplified
