That would be fantastic and a bigger lagoon potential from the sidewalk all around to the rocky rocks! It would make kiting there a mecca all over the world, if not already.

A few things:

- the wide median strip only runs for 800m. You could only do the park thing up as far as Langridge St.

- Beaconsfield Pde is 6 lanes, not 4. It probably makes a difference to the locals whether they have 6 continuous lanes on their doorstep vs 3 and 3 with grass in between.

- You could have just said "move the median strip and turn it into a park" rather than make us look at a presentation on Prezi. It's slow to download and you need to download an app on an ipad. The presentation doesn't add anything useful to the idea.

- it might improve the flow and mix of pedestrian/bike/car mix to have more room for the peds and bikes away from cars.

Terrible Idea, Where would kiters park,or anyone else for that matter, Unless your 4 lanes doesn't include the current peak hour clearway lane...

Updated presentation to be more specific, thanks.

In summary:
same amount of lanes remain. Just moved to one side of the road.
same amount of parking as all the lanes remain intact.
