protecting the heart
Protecting the Heart will be an integrated plan for managing transport into, around and within the City Centre and will include an efficient public transport loop with light rail.
Innovative and ambitious steps to reduce the impact of traffic on public spaces and to improve the experience of being in the City Centre.
Staged measures include a high quality light rail loop to easily get around the City Centre linked to the proposed new Metro Line.
These sustainable transport initiatives will reduce the number of private vehicles in the City Centre.
