Quiet roads would be temporarily blocked to traffic on weekends in Sydney's inner west to allow children to run around, under a "play streets" program set to be trialed. Pauline Lockie, Independent Councillor for the Stanmore ward of Inner West Council, explained to Michael that two streets will be chosen to road-test the concept from April or May which will see the streets fully or partially close to through-traffic for two to three hours on a Sunday afternoons.
