Govt draws on Greens submission for North Bank improvements
A story in today’s Sunday Mail reports on the state government’s revised plans for North Bank [Riverside Facelift, 23.08.09]. It is gratifying to note that the improvements include many of the issues raised in the Greens’ submission opposing the original disastrous plans for high rise buildings on platforms over the river and southeast freeway.
That submission is still available on the Greens public website:

Some of the points that I made as part of that process were the need to separate pedestrians and cyclists, to improve safety, especially night time security for commuters and CityCat ferry terminals, to reduce the number of car parks and to provide better pedestrian linkages to the CBD.
