One change created a dead end and a perception of nefarious behaviour in Melbourne’s once-vibrant playground that is worse than the reality.
in 2017 and transformed into upmarket apartments, trouble migrated to other parts of the area, including Acland Street.
“We had our biggest day of takings ever, and so did every other trader,” says Andriotakis. “It was full of families, you could hardly walk through the street.” Rosenberg is one of several traders who mentioned the disconnect between the cost of rent and trading conditions. “The landlords are not dropping the rents enough,” she said.
Traders were encouraged by a walk-through of the street conducted by the council, in which proprietors, council officers and members of the executive, and some landlords jointly assessed what needs updating and fixing and what could be added to rebuild the welcoming, village atmosphere.“I’m very aware the crime rate has absolutely decreased, it’s only the perception of safety that’s a problem,” she said.
She said traffic flow must be restored down one side – a point made by many traders, who believe it would “flush though” and help move remove a haven for nefarious activities.“If they won’t remove the double-sided super stop ... they have to make it a food plaza, like Oakleigh, with council providing full seating infrastructure and supported rents to entice food vendors.”
She concedes “there is strong sentiment in the area that the day the tram stop came, it killed the street.”
