the working plan
Clark Street — shaped together.
A working plan for our stretch of road: trees, traffic, planters, places to sit. Nothing here is set in stone — it's the version we've all agreed so far, with the open questions written down.

How we got here
First street meeting in someone's front garden, two evening walking surveys, and a sit-down with highways and parks. The plan was changed where it needed to be.

Now — May '26
Open questions
Bench positions, tree species, and how we share the planter watering rota. Have a view? Drop it in the forum.

Summer '26
First works
Tree pits dug, planters built, benches arrived. A weekend party to mark the start.

Autumn '26
Trees in the ground
The proper planting window. Volunteers welcome — gloves and tea provided.
What neighbours have said
"What I want most is a bench. Somewhere to stop with the shopping, somewhere my dad can sit when he visits."
— a resident, number 14
"Trees would change the feel of the street more than any of the signs. They'd quiet it."
— a resident, north end
"Whatever we do, please let's do something. We've been talking about it for years."
— a resident, top of the street
