Darby Street proposal: have your say on plans

Have your say: Make sure to give your feedback on the project before 29 September.

From City Scene, published on 6 September, 2009.

Auckland City Council is proposing to turn Darby Street in the CBD into a pedestrian mall - and would like your thoughts.

The upgrade would see the inner-city street closed to all vehicles, except emergency vehicles and bicycles - making it a more people friendly, attractive environment to spend time in.

It will also allow a more spacious environment for people, public seating, outdoor dining and other activities. Additionally, it will provide opportunities for creative use that may allow activities 24-hours a day.

For full information on the project and to give feedback online visit the Elliot Street and Darby Street upgrade section or call Auckland City Council.

Written submissions on this proposal can be made to the council until 5pm on Tuesday, 29 September. Any person who makes a submission will have the opportunity to be heard by the council.
