Episode Details

Melbournes City Council is transforming Flinders Lane and other central business district streets into pedestrian-friendly zones, investing five million dollars to raise road levels, add cobblestone bumps, and shut down traffic during peak hours. The plan, inspired by successful shared zones in Prahran, Sydney, and London, aims to boost the economy by attracting more shoppers and diners, and improve safety by giving pedestrians the right of way. The initiative, part of a two hundred fifty thousand dollar budget, will also include footpath upgrades, with Melbourne aiming for full bluestone paving in four years.
