Background 

Clarence Street improvements have been discussed for quite some time. Clarence Street is an important commuter route and our March bicycle counts show that commuters use this route rather than the scenic tour along the foreshore trail. Over the past four years, there have been an average of 40% more people using Clarence Street between 7 and 9 am compared with the foreshore trail.  

Clarence Street has a history of crashes, many of which are traffic collisions with parked cars. The idea of the community consultation is to address this crash record and to improve the road for all users.
