Macadamised Order - the new Gregory's Road

Image
After the mayhem of construction, what we have ended up with.  These photos were taken at 6.30 a.m. in the morning on a Sunday. The big trees have been preserved, the cars are parked in tarred parking spaces on one side, and a 'beautiful pavement" has been built for pedestrians on the other.  Even on a weekday the road is a lot more orderly, and as  a member of CEPA's Board of Directors put it "a pleasure to drive on".   The new Gregory's Road, the Southern Expressway - all very 21st century, all very pleasurable to drive on, no doubt, but   at what cost?  and to whom?
