We trialled a pop-up bike lane on Park Street in Fitzroy North to help reduce congestion on the nearby Capital City Trail.

In 2020, Yarra City Council voted to trial a new contraflow pop-up bike lane on Park Street in Fitzroy North. The bike lane is located along Park Street, between Nicholson Street and St Georges Road.

This allowed bike riders to ride in the opposite direction to existing one-way traffic and provide an alternative route to the currently very congested Capital City Trail shared path.

On Tuesday 23 November 2021, Council resolved to continue with the trial until the Linear Park Masterplan was developed.

At the Council Meeting on Tuesday 11 November 2025, Council endorsed the final Linear Parklands Masterplan. The Masterplan is a 20-year vision for the much-loved green corridor stretching along the former Inner Circle Railway Line which runs from Princes Hill through Carlton North and Fitzroy North to Rushall Station and down to Edinburgh Gardens.

Why Park Street?
