Benefits

Our vision of a more beautiful, liveable, and accessible city offers the following benefits:

• more kids will choose to walk or bike to school, improving their physical and mental health
• more seniors will walk or roll to shops and services, meaning they can age for longer in their own home
• less traffic congestion and parking congestion, making it easier for people who need to drive and park
• streets become nicer, calmer and quieter places for neighbours to socialise
• ratepayers will benefit from increased revenue from parking, to be be reinvested back into their neighbourhoods

In other words, our streets will be better for people:

• Better for women
• Better for children
• Better for seniors
• Better for people with disabilities
• Better for people on low incomes
• Better for drivers
• Better for parking
• Better for business
• Better for trams
• Better for car sharing
• Better for trees
• Better for our climate
• Better for our health
