The trees went in on Friday. The works on Rouse St are now nearly done, with all north/south crossings improved for walkability.
These changes reflect that Rouse St is now a residential rather than an industrial street. Instead of a major through road for cars to travel at speed it is now a smooth road for cars, cyclists and trees.
New openings were created between Dow and Bay St to allow residents of Bayview and 15 Beach St to get through.
The trees are eucyalyptus scoparia http://www.metrotrees.com.au/treehandbook/page-listings/eucalyptus-scoparia.html
