Community consultation 2024

We want to make walking, riding and scooting on Coppin Street easier for people of all ages and abilities.

Our commitment in the Yarra Transport Strategy 2022-32 is to deliver a network of safe, attractive and connected bike routes with better streets for everyone to use as part of the New Deal for Cycling program.

Last year we completed upgrade pilots on Coppin Street at the intersections with Bridge Road and Swan Street to test ideas and gather community feedback. During this period there were no crashes reported, people told us that they felt safer and there was a big increase in people cycling along Coppin Street.

Now we need your feedback to help us design safer transport infrastructure for the rest of Coppin Street between Highett Street and Barkly Avenue.
