Project Update - November 2023
In August 2023, the City asked residents for feedback on the draft design to slow traffic on Healy Road between Rockingham Road and Carrington Street.
We asked about your level of satisfaction with the draft, including what you like, any improvements you would make, and any perceived challenges or concerns with implementing the design in its current form, considering the limited budget and site constraints.
