Just thought I would post the updates that I have been given on the progress etc.
The work on the roadway is a few weeks behind schedule due to the condition of the roadway below road level. As well as a couple of unfortunate incidents involving large volumes of water. Which I must admit I was amazed not to see appear on here.
From discussion and looking at the way the road is laying out, I have to say I am once again fully behind the planning of the roadway, crossing point and improved footpathes.
The crossing point seems to be in the right place, given the projected line of the road, the roadway being reduced sufficiantly to minimise danger to sensible pedestrians. And the pavements increased enough to carry the high volume of pedestrians the footpath sees at peek times.
The other suggested touches also sound very fitting for the surroundings.
I also believe the plants growing from the walls bordering the station will be removed, but the walls now left in their aged finish. Clean walls of course encouraging grafitti.
As for the subway. New flooring is suggested, walls refinished, this time no art work (not for want though) and the lighting improved.
This will be done in a split phase to prevent total closure of the subway, so it will remain in use throughout.
A new exit structure for FH station. Not as dramatic as it sounds, but ensures the protection of this exit, and it will not be disappearing as some had feared.
Im sure this lot is more than enough to strike up some good conversation, so I will leave it there for now.
