Manchester’s Changing Skyline

[jrb]

It’s not actually pale green… it’s more British Army green.

it's a difficult green to pinpoint. Pale? Muted?

You can always find a good vantage point.

Even at 57 years old I can still climb bins and a side wall. :-)

Tower foundations and basement.

Years of jibbing into football grounds jrb?

of my favourite views of the city centre at street level.

Seeing Beetham tower and Viadux 1 next to each other in the distance.

I thought Deansgate is going to be pedestrianised? Is that still to come?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for bikes and bike lanes. The more throughout the city centre and the city the belter. But why give almost 2/3rds of the width of Deansgate over to '2 bike lanes', whilst reducing Deansgate to one lane in one direction for vehicles? It doesn't make sense to me, unless it temporary? Perhaps I'm missing something?

I'd rather see Deansgate totally pedestrianised, including bike lanes.

The superb cladding.

Those sails with the plastic on them (white) show how these would look on our hotel - a million miles ahead of the MFI look that’s proposed.

Would look better with greenery down the middle and a cycle lane on each side.

1 had another look through the PA again.

The Kinetc view videos are great.

The video starts of without Viadux 2, then Viadux 2 appears in the video as the video carries on.

St Anne’s Square.

The kinetic video also shows a massing image of the St Micheal’s tower.

The chequered panels have crept in again, albeit and thankfully not as many.

If anyone wants to have a look through the PA again?
