Safe and Functional Streets
Consultation has concluded
The City of Fremantle is conducting a community engagement initiative for two key infrastructure policies:
- Traffic Calming Policy (Council Item: FPOL2306-6)
- Narrow Streets, Safe Access Policy (Council Item: FPOL2306-5)
While these policies are separate, they are interconnected, and to streamline our approach, we're uniting them under the "Safe & Functional Streets" engagement campaign.
Our Engagement Program's Objectives
The Safe & Functional Streets engagement program aims to achieve the following for the City and its residents:
- Raise awareness and educate the community about both policies.
- Enhance the City's communication and engagement on matters related to Traffic Calming and Narrow Streets.
- Clarify the distinctions between traffic issues and traffic calming.
- Create opportunities for an in-depth understanding of challenges and the co-creation of effective solutions with the public.
