Improving Old Town streets

Why we need to change Old Town streets

Year-round, thousands of visitors visit or stay in the area to see some of the city’s most iconic attractions.

Many people also live or work in the area, making the Old Town streets some of the busiest in the city.

By reducing the number of vehicles accessing the area we can create a better and safer place for everyone.
