2. Grand Boulevard

The founding father of Manly, Henry Gilbert Smith, envisioned a Grand Boulevard running along the Length of Belgrave Street. Gilbert Park is part of this vision. Extending landscaping elements along Belgrave Street and promoting sustainable transport options within this key arterial road of Manly CBD are important components. Envisaged are a cycleway, more landscaping and the reinstatement of  an electric tram supporting Park n’ Ride in and around Manly and beyond.
