One project is the Cross City Tunnel. The construction of the tunnel flowed onto the following in Woolloomooloo -
· Improvements in roads to make them more car-friendly plus roads were closed as they were too narrow (built in Victorian days for horse & carts).
· Traffic calming measures such as speed humps with pedestrian crossings on them.
· Wider footpaths to allow 2 people to walk in either direction as they were previously too narrow in 19th Century.
· Intersection improvements such as pedestrian plazas, parks at cross intersections.
· Bicycle lanes to cater for people's enjoyment and to bring people into the Woolloomooloo cafes and art houses.
· Tree planting in streets to bring back greenery, birds and to be visually appealing.
. Pedestrian Plazas created by cutting off streets eg. Forbes Street.
