In March, development work along George Street (between Town Hall down to Railway Square) to widen footpaths, install new street furniture and paving to accommodate extra dining and walking spaces commenced.
Sydney council dubbed the $43.5 million car-free development a ‘world-class pedestrian boulevard’ that will also see more trees planted along the light rail route.
“Block by block, we’re turning bitumen into beautiful paving with room for new trees, outdoor dining and street furniture,” Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said.
“This work will complete our long-held vision of turning George Street into wonderful tree-lined pedestrian and light rail boulevard through the heart of our city.”
