Carlton South Walks

Introduction:

Based on the walkability problems discovered recently in the area and the enthusiasm of local workers to take action and find solutions, we have created the Carlton South Walkers Walking Action Group to address these and any future actions which support the needs of walkers in the area.

Aims:

To improve local walking conditions and make pedestrian crossings safer
To make the walking environment better between Carlton South and the CBD
To promote workplace walking
To make more social and friendly streets for local residents, visitors and workers

Current campaigns:

Crossing timing issue on Lygon St near Argyle Place Reprogram the pedestrain crossing so that the lights have automatic call up – they take forever to change even when there are no cars!
Crossing issues on Victoria St near Spring St entrance. This crossing needs redeveloping, it is a pedestrian nightmare!
