Changes in attitudes/behaviour reflection:

• The Street Stories project provided the FDTT with an alternative approach to addressing street safety concerns and placemaking enhancements. The events, pavement mural, flower installation and surveys were welcomed and well supported by the local community. Engagement and feedback received indicate positive attitudes towards the street safety and enhancement options provided.
• Numerous conversations at both community engagement events, and subsequently at the pavement mural and flower installation with users of the underpass, as well as comments on our Facebook page and responses to the article in the local newspaper, have shown widespread appreciation and support for our efforts. The community loved the art and appreciated FDTT’s efforts in placemaking!
• A rich representation from a diverse mix of the local community engaged with FDTT throughout the Street Stories project including:
• Users of the street – pedestrians, cyclists, drivers
• Local businesses and residents
• Students, teachers and parents from Bob Hawke College, West Leederville Primary School and the School of Early Learning
• Local Aboriginal Elders
• Families and patrons of the Leederville Bowling Club
• Town of Cambridge Library staff and patrons
• Whilst initial attitudes towards our Street Stories project have been overwhelmingly positive, the FDTT believes that our opportunity to change behaviours i.e. slow traffic and improve the experience of the street for locals and visitors alike, requires a focused collaborative approach from the ToC. We will use the feedback received to create a light brush masterplan for the area which the FDTT will use to engage a conversation with ToC.
