Limited consultation was persued with the consultancy company dictating what they thought should happen in City Place.<br />Most of that plan was totally acceptable, greening of Shield St up to Cairns Central, Grafton St onto Warf St, leading back to the Esplanade. <br />With City Place being retained as a pedestrian mall this tied all the axis of the city together in a pedestrian friendly manner. <br />Very little parking was effected in this plan and with the new car park at the southern end of Grafton St was not an issue of the overall CBD Development.<br />Various bus routes have been suggested as an alternative to Lake St.<br />With the wait period of idling buses now being moved away from the Lake St the polution from this is no longer an issue.<br />If the CRC can find additional unecessary funds for uneeded feasability studies on a theatre perhaps the CRC can find funds to follow through with the beautification of the whole city centre rather than do band aid jobs on one area.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234123265749950338noreply@blogger.com
