Join us to call on the state government to fast track the construction of accessible tram stops on Sydney Rd, before the Upfield train line is closed.
Everyone should be able to use Brunswick’s public transport.
But along Sydney Rd, people who use wheelchairs, have limited mobility, or push prams are prevented from getting on or off the tram because there are no accessible platform tram stops between Bakers Rd and Park St, a 5.5km stretch
Despite over 40 years of efforts demanding action, the Victorian Labor government in their recent state budget still had no plans to fix accessibility in Brunswick.
And it looks like it’s about to get worse.
The Upfield train line – one of the only accessible public transport options in our area – will be shut for an extended period while level crossing removal works are underway, but we haven’t seen a plan from the Government for maintaining accessible transport in Brunswick.
So on Saturday the 17th, we’re holding a rally on Sydney Rd to call on the government to fast-track the construction of accessible tram stops on Sydney Rd.
Rally for accessible tram stops on Sydney Rd
When: Saturday June 17, 11am.
Where: Corner of Sydney Rd & Wilson Ave, opposite Barkly Square Shopping Centre
