Sydney Road Street Party Stall

Hi Walkers!

We had a great time at the Sydney Road Street Party last weekend, thanks to everyone who stopped past to say hi.  It was a real buzz seeing the enthusiasm for the walking cause from everyone we spoke to.

And what a fantastic setting to talk about the need for more streets for people, surrounded by thousands of people walking on one of our busiest roads.  What a great reminder of how much potential we have right here in our neighbourhoods to create great places for people.

I was encouraged by the huge cross-section of people who showed interest, from young & old, in prams & on foot, out partying or just taking in the sights, and even a few from nonna's with a twinkle in their eyes.  

Everyone seems to subscribe to the idea that wider footpaths, more crossings, and slower cars are a worthy cause which should be within our reach to achieve.

PS. And thanks to the High School for Coburg people for lending us their stall.
