Yep. It is already there. But it exists in its current state because of the interchange, and there will never be a better time to reassess it than when this area is already getting torn up.
There are a bunch of alternatives:
- Build connections to the pedway system through lots "A" and "B" then have a much shorter crossing of Lower Water Street. Or maybe just connect Purdy's to "B" via "S" and Scotia Square.
- Build some underground paths. These could also be useful to partly or fully connect the ferry terminal up with the new transit hub.
- Build some kind of protected route through the park (probably not hermetically sealed but covered and with wind mitigation).
- Just demolish the pedway and forget about it since it will now be much easier for pedestrians to get around this area.
