Re-envisioning right of way in Hobart City through blue & green infrastructure
After generation of a future vision to improve mobility in Hobart City I decided to develop a community facing booklet to promote & garner community support for the concept of daylighting the Hobart Rivulet.
Daylighting the Hobart Rivulet from Molle St through to Elizabeth Street Mall would create a green & blue spine throughout Hobart City. This would allow for safer active mobility connections for people to traverse the city centre whilst allowing for an overhaul on the existing stormwater infrastructure. The daylighting would be partnered with a broader vision to pedestrianize a large area of the Hobart CBD & develop an intricate network of laneways & public transit only roads to increase pedestrian accessibility of the CBD.
Lords Place by the Elizabeth St bus mall is one of many spaces that could be reclaimed from cars if we pedestrianised the CBD.
