The concept aims to create a pedestrian and cyclist-friendly street that can be reborn as the new "main street" of the area, with new green spaces, sophisticated street furniture and an orderly environment.
In recent years, the street and its surroundings have been neglected by major comprehensive developments, although the major real estate investment already carried out in the street (Juliet House) foreshadows the municipality's determination to rehabilitate the public space in the district. The usability of the street and the sense of space will be significantly transformed, with a wider pedestrian circulation area and green spaces, creating a shadier and more climatically favourable environment.
Under the proposed design, the entire pavement will be pedestrianised, junctions will be raised to pavement level for traffic safety reasons, unused pavement corners will become green space, while the 4.00 m carriageway between the parallel and 45 degree parking lane will allow for two-way cycle traffic.
A new unified tree line will be created and a mix of shrubs and perennials will be planted in low granite cassettes along the sidewalk.
