Inner: Rathdowne St
About this page
This route runs from Park St in Princes Hill (Mel Ref 29 K11) along Rathdowne St to Victoria St (Mel Ref 43 J6) at the edge of the CBD.
Bicycle Victoria supports a separated lane for this important route to the North of the CBD. There are a
number of types of separation that could be used. Tram type separators could be trialled or the parking lane moved and a Copenhagen-style lane constructed.
Rathdowne St provides a connection to the CBD as it runs into Exhibition St while Canning St, which runs parallel, ends at the Carlton Gardens.
