The Town of Cambridge, in partnership with the Flower District Town Team, has been awarded a 2025 Streets Alive Stream 2 Grant to develop interventions, designed to slow traffic and create a safer environment for all.
The $100,000 project will focus on short term upgrades and the development of a Masterplan to guide long-term changes, for Northwood Street and its intersections with Cambridge Street and Railway Parade. The project will guide the creation of a safe active street that prioritises people, slower speeds, and safer connections for walking, wheeling and cycling.
The project will be co-designed with the community, strengthening local ownership and supporting on-the-ground behaviour change. The project will explore interventions such as street greening, traffic calming, public art, improved street furniture and people-focused design elements.
Delivered by the Town Team Movement in partnership with Main Roads WA and the Western Australian Local Government Association, Streets Alive has received $5 million over five years, with $1.8 million awarded to more than 110 communities in its first 18 months.
Community engagement for the Northwood Street Road Safety Masterplan will begin in 2026
