WE HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE COST NOW LETS HEAR ABOUT THE URBAN VALUES


Victoria Park Tunnel entrance the Richard Reid version
Transits proposal for the Victoria Park Tunnel entrance is positively brutal. Shift the Birdcage Hotel up the hill and front it with - yes you guessed - a tarmac car park - these people are car obsessed.

We are told that the project will come in under budget. If that is the case bring it in on budget and spend the difference on the Richard Reid proposal. Tunnel ten metres further back and entrance covered with an urban parklet with the Birdcage moved back down the hill.

Transit are not showing us any detail of what their entrance will be like and I bet I know why.
Not a great image but you get the general idea. Much more civilised than a car park a concrete wall and an exposed sewer pipe
