The rise of car and pedestrian traffic around the Story Bridge following the opening of Howard Smith Wharves will be assessed in a planned traffic study by Brisbane City Council.

On Tuesday, the council infrastructure committee considered a petition requesting a footpath on the northern side of Boundary Street, between Ivory Street and Ivory Lane, be restored to help people walk safely to the planned new ferry terminal at the wharves.

Felons Brewing Co. under the Story Bridge in the new Howard Smith Wharves entertainment precinct is one of several new craft breweries opening in Brisbane.

Petitioners requested the council reinstate a footpath on the northern side of Boundary Street and reinstall kerb ramps on Boundary Street that had been removed in 2017.

The vehicle intersection leads to Story Bridge, Fortitude Valley and back into the city, while also allowing both vehicle and pedestrian access down to the new Howard Smith Wharves precinct.
