Fort Street Plan

Council is currently working on a draft plan that includes formalising approximately 40 parking spaces and yellow no-stopping lines where parking will be prohibited along Fort Street, Cambridge to help enable the safe and swift passage of ambulances.

Background

Hato Hone St John have raised concerns over the current informal parking along both sides of the narrow street, which are causing delays in ambulance response times and obstructing swift passage to Victoria Street.

The plan aims to find a solution that ensures ambulances can respond quickly and safely to emergencies while maintaining parking for residents and visitors.

Council recently consulted with the immediate residents of Fort Street neighbourhood, local businesses and emergency services, and are currently analysing the feedback.
