Green Square deserves A (pedestrian-accessible) Green Square

Green Square library is just across the four and a half lane Botany Road from the Green Square Station. I wants to cross, but I am not supposed to. Strangely the authorities forgot to finish the fencing that would make its isolation complete.

The Double-Cross: Missing Pedestrian Crossings

Wyndham Street and Bourke Street near Green Square. So let's say you crossed O'Riordan on the side of the street with the walk signal, and you are proceeding up Wyndham. Good luck, though there is a sidewalk, the pedestrian indicator is missing. I am not clear where you are supposed to go, back to Botany Road perhaps?

Sydney’s Refugee Crisis

At least 20 people, most of them children, queued up like bowling pins, on a refugee island at City Road and Cleveland Street, Sydney. Other groups are held back at the Seymour Centre, or have been already ferried across City Road to Victoria Park. This is typical, but not good, urban design.
