A plan to sink parts of the Charles street thoroughfare near the Perth CBD is expected to reduce congestion and attract active forms of transport.

The project will also include a median strip in the middle of Charles street.

"The planning review and concept will inform a future planning control area and an amendment to the Metropolitan Regional Scheme that ultimately reserves the land required for the future Charles street."City of Vincent chief executive David MacLennan told the ABC's Nadia Mitsopoulos that could mean the demolition of some houses.

He also said traffic at the intersection was "manageable" in the area and was only busy at peak times."I have personally never taken much frustration to this intersection, and I have lived in the area for nearly a decade," he said.He said while it was good that planners were thinking about the future, he was "doubtful" the project could be pulled off smoothly.
