Ambitious plans for Spotswood and South Kingsville
A ‘GreenLine’ enabling residents to cycle to the city in 20 minutes, a major revamp of the Spotswood industrial area and extended 40 km/h zones in activity centre streets are just some of the ideas being considered in the next phase of the Better Places Spotswood and South Kingsville program.
After several months of community consultation, the Better Places initiative has developed 16 place-based projects to make Spotswood and South Kingsville even better places to live, work and visit.
The projects are:
The GreenLine: Shared pathways running through the heart of Spotswood and South Kingsville linking key destinations in an active transport corridor, including the Federation Trail and proposed West Gate Tunnel Veloway.
