A long-term state vision has stuck with calls to roll back speed limits on local streets and more bike lanes following a spate of disturbing deaths.
Infrastructure Victoria on Tuesday released its third 30-year infrastructure strategy, featuring 45 recommendations and eight "future options" for housing, energy, transport, health and the environment.
The independent advisory body retained a draft recommendation to lower speed limits to 30km/h on streets frequented by children such as those around schools, playgrounds, childcare centres and kindergartens.
It follows several high-profile pedestrian deaths in and near Victorian school areas in recent times, including that of 15-year-old Thom Hosking, 11-year-old Jack Davey and teacher's aide Eleanor Bryant.
