mode’s involvement in the project includes:
- the provision of new access for all land uses from Broadway;
- inputs to a a stunning central public space – to be known as Lantern Circus;
- investment in local bus stops and services on Broadway and Queens Street;
- new pathways through the site to better connect the railway station, Nicholson’s Shopping Centre and the High Street;
- upgraded pedestrian crossings on York Street and Broadway;
- the widening of Queens Street to enhance pedestrian connectivity; and
- a new, modernised crossing (“a pedestrian scramble”) at King Street and Queen Street, creating a seamless link with the railway station.
