Wellington Street upgrade ‘descoped’

The next Yarra Council agenda is out and it appears the administration will recommend a vote towards a “descoped” upgrade that rules out anything impacting traffic volumes and keeps parking removals to a minimum.

So we’re not likely to see the modal filtering the community was being consulted on, which seems to have drawn a negative backlash. Not that surprising after the Elizabeth Street palaver in Richmond.

Worth noting that dozens of crashes and incidents involving cyclists and vehicles have been reported along this stretch, and that 88% of traffic along Wellington Street is passing through without stopping in the local area.
