Portland Place

An elegant tree-lined pedestrian route must be provided between Blackett Street, the Monument and Portland Place. In part, this will rely upon reducing motor traffic and introducing an environmentally-friendly tram system. The pedestrian route to the east could be extended to 'green bridges' across the motorway. Barriers could be re-placed; quality surface finishes laid and traffic made subservient to pedestrians.

The night-clubs and pubs of the square could be complemented by cafes and a street market, whilst to the south of the library, more shops or housing could be introduced. The hotel and other businesses in the locality could only benefit from such obvious street improvements.
