Linking Shores

Connecting communities between river and sea

Our Vision

We envision a network of safe, accessible, and seamless east–west connections linking our beachside and riverside communities.

We support strategic infrastructure improvements that enable all community members and all modes of transport to travel with ease and security across our communities.

By addressing the barriers posed by Stirling Highway, the railway, and Curtin Avenue, we are committed to a unified, integrated approach that guarantees children safe routes to school, enhances accessibility for people of all ages and abilities, reduces traffic congestion, and elevates overall liveability.

Communities Divided

Beach-side and river-side communities are divided by Curtin Ave, the railway, and Stirling Hwy with a lack of safe and accessible connections

A Vision for Connected Communities

Key projects will deliver safe and accessible connections for all ages and abilities

Safe for kids to get to school

Accessible for all ages and abilities

Improve liveability

Reduce vehicle traffic

Footbridge Improvement

Steep stairs on current footbridge make it inaccessible to many members of community

Lack of connection to PSP Bike Path

Access

An accessible bridge for beach and river communities

Connection

Connection to the PSP Bike Path

Safety

Safe and easy for kids to get to school

Wellington St Underpass

Victoria St and Salvado St level crossings are crash hot spots.

Remove the vehicle level crossings and build Wellington St underpass

Cott Village Precinct

Raise section of railway to provide vehicle and pedestrian underpass allowing continuous east-west connection

Finish the PSP Bike Path

The PSP bike path crossing at Tydeman Rd was voted Perth's #1 unsafe spot in the BikeSpot 2023 survey

Continuous grade-separated crossing is needed to connect Perth to Fremantle across the new Fremantle bridge.

Leighton Connection

A wider and more direct pedestrian railway crossing would greatly enhance connection between Leighton and North Fremantle

Safe Paths to School

Signalled crossing

Across Stirling Hwy to kids to get to PLC
Across Curtin Ave to Beehive Montessori
Across Curtin Ave to Victoria St station
Across Curtin Ave to Mosman Park station

Traffic refuge at Napier St across Curtin Ave.

Safe road design along Victoria St and Johnston St, providing safe routes to primary schools.

Eric St Gateway

A major bridge upgrade would delivery significant improvements to Eric-Curtin intersection and incorporate a pedestrian underpass to the Eric St Shared Path.

Alternatively a signalled crossing 50m to the south that is synchronised to the lights would allows direct connection between the PSP and the Eric St Shared Path.

Bringing our Vision to Life

Thanks to all the community members and groups that support our vision.

With your support, this will help us to advocate to Local and State government to ensure these projects are included in planning and budget cycles, and bring our vision to life.
