George Street – imagine this being a pedestrian-friendly space full of trees
The City of Sydney Council has announced it is working in partnership with the NSW state government to create a people-orientated boulevard along the length of George Street in Sydney CBD. George Street will be pedestrian from Hunter Street to Bathurst Street & light rail will run every 2-minutes from Haymarket to Circular Quay.
There will be new public space, public art, revitalised laneways & a green outlook with more street trees. On the strength of what is shown in the video I think this will be fabulous. Hopefully they will add more trees than the video shows. City of Sydney’s video can be viewed here – http://bit.ly/KJ8Zfn

I would love to see this announcement come to fruition.
The City of Sydney needs more green space and there is far too much traffic in the area. An efficient rail system and a pedestrian oriented boulevard would make the centre of the city more appealing.
