🚧 Central Business Development Enhancement Project enters Phase 3

The Central Business Development Enhancement Project, part of the ongoing George Town Revitalisation Initiative (GTRI), is set to begin its third phase this month. This phase, which will run until December, will necessitate temporary traffic diversions from Edward Street to Main Street. The planning ministry is urging commuters to anticipate potential delays and plan their routes accordingly. The upcoming phase will see the installation of new lighting, substantial upgrades to underground utilities, compaction, and the laying of new pavers. 🚧

The GTRI has been in progress for several years, with the aim of transforming George Town into a more pedestrian-friendly and aesthetically pleasing city. The project includes the creation of new green spaces and pocket parks, and the revitalisation of historical sites. However, no specific details have been provided about when these green spaces will be introduced or which historical sites will be preserved. The project also promises to use eco-friendly materials, LED lighting, and solar-powered infrastructure. The public is invited to provide feedback on the project, and visual representations of the planned changes are available on the project's website. 🌳🏛️
