Its difficult to imagine a more extravagant and largely wholly unfocused use of public money in these times of brutal austerity than the tinsel wrapped round the boulevard. The result is an object lesson in how not to design public space. To take one small example, the current aspiration to minimise street clutter isnt even in the lexicon of Swanseas road design team. Its another jungle of lights and signs. Cant think of a good word to say. Of course it will look bright and shiny on completion. Unfortunately, it is conceived overwhelmingly to increase and speed up traffic flow - the very opposite of what is required to improve pedestrian and cycle links between the city and the seafront. Oh to have budgets like that! We would make a difference! Maybe you should google Poynton and traffic to see a video on another way. swansea.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=57853title=
