A modal filter is a way of improving safety and amenity for people walking and biking, by reducing the volume and speed of motor vehicle traffic on a street. An example is on Albert Street outside Abbotsford Primary School:

What Yarra can do
The City of Yarra can improve safety and amenity for people walking and biking by building a new modal filter each month. On average, this would add a modal filter to each neighbourhood every two years. At many locations, council can expand the modal filter into a pocket park.
