| Comment | Not really "car free", is it?
Any and all vehicles will still be able to use the George Street and Cochrane/Vincent sides between 7pm and 7am. Then 7am to 7pm they become "bus gates" (bus/taxi/PH/cycles). So, still 24 hour traffic on two sides of the square; 12 hours of bus gate during day and 12 hours of free-for-all at night.
It's only the two short sides getting pedestrianized (Queen Street side and N/S Frederick Streets Side. Doesn't seem like a major amount of space gained.
Article doesn't say, but you can bet the taxi rank at Queen Street station/Millenium Hotel will not be removed. |
