With all the building that's happening in the cbd right now, the government and city council might just consider roofing over the freeway between Parliament House and Elder Street. That gash through the earth there is just plain ugly - cover it and plant some grass, please!

Agreed. Although you weren't the first to think of this. Imagine if they'd actually gone through with this design. I'd prefer it

Why didn't they back then? And why don't they now? That is a piece of architecture we could be proud of.
