Striking the Right Balance
What are the priorities for the harbour area andharbourfront• Comprehensive pedestrian networks and people
dominated environments?• Continuous harbour waterfront walk and cross harbour
walk?• Expanding the railway network further and giving greater
priority to buses?• Introducing new modes?• More coordination or more choice?• With CWB and CKR to rethink the allocation of
roadspace?• To contain traffic growth or build more roads? …
Public participation in direction and implementation, including making better travel choices to create a more liveable city
