Five people stand side by side in front of a stage at the Living Streets National Walking Summit, smiling at the camera. From left to right: Zak Viney (Living Streets), Alistair Robinson (Transport for West Midlands), me (Kirsten) wearing a “Mums for Lungs” t-shirt, Adam Tranter (Living Streets Trustee), and Tom Perkins (Better Streets for Birmingham). Behind them is a presentation screen and summit signage, and the venue features ornate gold detailing and wooden flooring.
Delighted to be at the #LivingStreets #WalkingSummit on behalf of @mumsforlungs.bsky.social this week.
As new guidance lands on safer streets for women and girls, it's clear: walking and wheeling cut air pollution - but only if streets feel safe for everyone.
Clean air starts with better streets 💚

A post on LinkedIn from Property Council ACT that reads: ADVOCACY WIN. Yesterday the ACT Government released an updated Schedule of Fees for the user of Public Unleased Land - a welcome relief after the shock of initial fees to charge PER DAY for road and path closures across the Territory. These additional fees, imposed without consultation, could have added thousands of dollars to existing and future projects - and had a significant impact on the feasibility of developments and housing delivery across Canberra. We commend the ACT Government and Minister Chris Steel for listening to our concerns and postponing these new charges. We will continue to work with the Directorate on proposed charges to get the balance right."
If path closures is an impact to you in Canberra, it is worth noting that it would appears that the Property Council had lobbied ACT Government and Chris Steel to either delay or not proceed with the fees for path closures in the ACT. Their […]

My problem with this is if it would actually get used. What I know from pedestrian activity is, pedestrians will find the easiest, quickest and most convenient way to walk. I would expect this to be especially true of teenagers.
So if we built a pedestrian bridge, would it get used, or would […]

Andrew Barr's office advised me a week ago that Tara Cheyne's office is looking into the situation at Botanical Turner. I haven't heard anything yet, so I have sent a follow up email to her office this morning.
The issue is ongoing at the site.

An email from TCCS to Matthew Cullis regarding report of safety concern. It reads the following: Hello Matthew, Thank you for taking the time to submit a Fix My Street request and letting us know about an issue important to you and your local area. I am pleased to advise you that your request relating to Fix My Street > Cycle & footpaths > Fencing & bollards > Report safety concern - 131-141 CITY WALK, CITY ACT 2601 has been resolved. The resolution applied to this issue was: Bollard cover replaced. Your request has been closed through Fix My Street. The email then talks about how you can find information about scheduled works.
Pavement with a hole from where the bollard was installed. There is no cover, it is fully exposed.
The bollard laying down on the ground next to some bike racks.
It is no wonder why there is such distrust with Fix My Street in Canberra.
I had raised a safety concern regarding the bollards on City Walk at Garema Place, as construction workers have been leaving the bollards out with no cover, leaving a big […]

Sharing for those who have disconnected themselves from Meta platforms. I joined our convenor for Living Streets Canberra on Sturt Avenue today in Canberra's inner south to see how the traffic is, and what it is like for students.
Absolute chaos!

The fact is, we can improve the safety for our kids just by simply moving the limit by 10 on streets. Our kids deserve to feel safe around our schools, and they deserve the opportunity to walk to school.
Come on Canberra. Dropping from 40 to 30 is nothing in terms of travel time and it would be […]

Walking & Wheeling is about connection, freedom & dignity—not just step counts or health stats.
streets for people must be
✅ Safe to walk, wheel & cycle
✅ Shaped by lived experience
✅ Rooted in justice, not just “lifestyle change”

Me with a gash to my head
The trip hazard that took me out.
Today I am an example of why it is important that attention is brought to our walking environments. I'm at TCH tonight, waiting for xray of my left arm. Happened at work. Two paths not quite meeting level.
