New street furniture to create better outdoor experience A suite of sleek new street furniture is to be rolled out across Sydney, creating a more pleasant, interesting and accessible outdoor environment for all. The $3 million project will help transform Sydney by dramatically improving pedestrian amenities, with more street furniture in more locations, encouraging people to explore and linger. ... ... There are nine pieces in the new collection – a seat with arm rests, a pedestrian light pole, three bollards, a bubbler, a tree guard, tree grate and a bin. They will be installed throughout Sydney, with new trees planted at rest areas for shade. The first seat, bin, bubbler, bollard and tree guard prototypes of the bronzed aluminium, stainless steel and timber furniture have been installed on Kent Street. ... ... With an allocated budget of $300,000 a year over the next 10 years, the new street furniture installations will coincide with on-going street upgrades. Construction to upgrade Ebsworth Street at Green Square is underway, with George Street in the city and Devonshire Street in Surry Hills to begin soon. The furniture installation will be rolled out across the entire local government area. http://www.sydneymedia.com.au/ne ... outdoor-experience/ |
