As part of the Maling Road Place Plan, we’re ready to make this strip a more pedestrian-friendly, safer and greener place for you to enjoy.
To help us make this happen, we’d like to hear from you on 2 options.
Maling Road in Canterbury is a well-loved heritage precinct with specialty shops that visitors love. However, the footpaths are narrow and the public spaces need to be refreshed.
To make it safer, traffic will be slowed and pedestrians given greater priority. More street planting will be added, and the paving will be upgraded.
In the August 2020 survey that helped draft the plan, 60% of the community ranked ‘creating space for outdoor dining and public seating’ a top priority. The options we propose deliver this outcome.
Share your preference for one of the following options:
- Keep the 2-way street, and use 11 on-road car spaces to gain 215 square metres of new public space for the community
- Create a one-way section of the street to slow traffic and increase safety, and use 7 on-road car spaces to gain 300 square metres of new public space for the community.
