A better walking experience is possible in the Griffith-Kingston area with 3 obvious improvements:
1) Connecting Griffith to Kingston with a pedestrian crossing across Canberra Avenue enable safe walking between suburbs
2) Seats dotted throughout the suburbs so people can rest as needed, when walking around the area
3) footpaths to be completed where now they suddenly stop – eg around St Clare’s School from Canberra Ave to Sturt Ave
