To achieve this, we are proposing to:
- Relocate the existing motorcycle bay at Baltic Street West & Crescent Row to the existing shared use parking bay spaces located outside 24-26 Baltic Street West (including the provision of secure lockable facilities).
- Permanently close Crescent Row between Baltic Street West & Sycamore Street, allowing an extended and safer area for those using the new public space.
- Install seating within the space, with an additional unique circular-designed seat which would be installed surrounding the existing mature tree.
- Plant additional greenery in the space between the tree and the seating area, in addition to standalone planters. Regenerate the existing paving and carriageway areas with new and improved materials.
