The field work for assessment is in Fitzroy and North Fitzroy, centred on Alexandra Parade. The site is currently the focus of extensive public debate due to the East West Link, an 18km freeway connection in the inner northern suburbs.
This work is focused on the land above the tunnel and after the tunnel completion. The primary assumption is that the majority of through vehicle traffic will be underground, Alexandra Parade will be returned to the neighbourhood and be a secondary distributer road.
The project will ask the question ‘how will Alexandra Parade contribute to the neighbourhood?’
