November 4th, 2021Transport needs feedback wanted

Macedon Ranges Shire Council is inviting community feedback about transport needs when travelling around the township of Woodend.
All feedback will help inform the development of an integrated transport plan that will guide planning over the next 10 years to meet the future transport needs of the Woodend community.
Asset and Operations director Shane Walden said, “The community’s feedback is vital for understanding how people choose to get around town.”

“From private vehicles and public transport to walking and cycling – please let us know about your experiences, observations and ideas for how we can create a safe, efficient and accessible network of transport options,’ he said.
Once developed, the plan will deliver on the ‘improving connectivity and movement’ objective of the Council Plan 2021-2031.
It will provide a framework to address site-specific issues and build an evidence-based, prioritised list of actions that will:
 identify gaps in the local transport network, including footpaths and roads
 plan for safe and efficient movement around the town
 identify improvements to high priority locations within the township
 improve the layout of streets and create safe and accessible public areas
 address community concerns about crossing High Street and nearby side streets.
“It will also focus on ways council, and all levels of government can work together to improve connectivity between local roads, pathways and public transport,” he said.
The project is being undertaken in partnership with the Victorian Government Department of Transport.
Feedback is invited until 5pm on Wednesday, December 1.
