Project background
Sydney Road is a vibrant entertainment and shopping hub, that is a key corridor for commuters, pedestrians, cyclists and trams each day.
In the five-year period to December 2018, there was a total of 223 casualty crashes between Park Street in Brunswick to Bell Street in Coburg, which has led to this investigation of potential improvements to the corridor.
Sydney Road co-design group
In early 2017, VicRoads brought together a group of community representatives to co-design ideas for the future of Sydney Road, including:
- Department of Transport (DoT)
- City of Moreland
- Coburg Traders Association
- RACV
- Revitalise Sydney Road
- VicRoads
- Yarra Trams
- Sydney Road Brunswick Association
- Bicycle Network Victoria
The co-design group worked collaboratively to develop ideas with the potential to improve safety for cyclists, pedestrians, motorists and public transport users.
