Snapshot of what's on the agenda:
*
Outcomes of the Abbotsford Convent Precinct Advisory Group. *
Council will consider a report that outlines possible solutions to 
traffic and parking issues at the Abbotsford Convent identified by the 
Abbotsford Convent Precinct Advisory Group. The group has proposed 10 
actions it believes could improve those issues, including installing a 
'No Through Road' sign and removing on-street parking on St Heliers 
Street and working with VicRoads to install traffic lights at the 
Abbotsford Convent Foundation car park entrance on Johnston Street. The 
report also seeks Council's endorsement to undertake further community 
consultation on the proposal to remove on-street parking on St Heliers 
Street.

*Copenhagen bicycle lanes proposed for Wellington Street, Collingwood.*
A report will outline a proposal to build Copenhagen-style bicycle lanes 
on Wellington Street, between Johnston Street and Victoria Street. If 
installed, the lanes would require the removal of up to 118 car spaces. 
Officers are seeking Council's permission to start consulting with the 
community on two concept designs for the bicycle lanes, and to determine 
the level of support for the idea.
