‘Bring Your Streets to Life is my way of helping you shift that story, one tiny act at a time. Small conversations, neighbourly experiments and moments of joy make your street feel more like a shared living room than a traffic corridor’<\/sub><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Laura Aston talks about bringing your street to life<\/a>: on this weeks program Chris catches up with Laura Aston\u00a0Wayfinder Labs<\/a> to talk about her Street Joy Kit<\/a>, Regenerative Streets Podcast<\/a> and recent activities. We discuss new ways to slow down, make local connections, interpret our streets, ongoing challenges with traffic and public space and\u00a0the opportunity to feel\u00a0more welcome via offering\u00a0people a series of tiny seasonal activities and experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local news and announceables galore include (drumroll) Gipps Street Ramps finally opening<\/a>, Iris Dixon Veloway<\/a> opening (also see Footscray Veloway – Opening Week User Experience Survey<\/a>), Federation Trail Link<\/a> works completed, Somerville to Baxter Trail <\/a>apparently opening very soon and take a look at the new Heyington Avenue bridge<\/a> in Doncaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the Victorian Government have followed NSW with banning after market e-bike changes<\/a> instead of a blanket ban around the PT network, the changes start on 21 December 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I ran out of time, here’s that bell hooks quote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Dominator culture has tried to keep us all afraid, to make us choose safety instead of risk, sameness instead of diversity. Moving through that fear, finding out what connects us, reveling in our differences; this is the process that brings us closer, that gives us a world of shared values, of meaningful community’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
