A new park for Sydney,

The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting on plans for a new park for the centre of Sydney. Great idea. I especially like the artist's impression, it looks lovely. However, with my intimate knowledge of the area, I felt there was a couple of oversights in the picture, which depicts a vibrant 1920's era Sydney. For a start, the corner of Park and Pitt Streets does not and will never have so few cars. Even at 3 am, that corner is a miserable nightmare. I also took offence at the bright, sunny blue sky and the lack of drug addicts. Any park in Sydney is a great place for tourists to see our local wildlife in action. A positive will be that the traditional Sydney meeting place can now be a nice, brown, water deprived park, rather than the nice, brown Town Hall Steps.

Here is another artist's impression of the park at its opening in 2014:
