Turning Floriana’s congested St Anne Street into a pedestrianised garden strip is a great idea that would benefit the locality and visitors to Valletta, according to the mayors of the two neighbouring localities.

“It is a good and innovative proposal. If it’s taken to the next level, it will definitely give a huge boost to the wonderful character of St Anne Street and, of course, Floriana,” the locality’s mayor, Davina Sammut Hili, said.

She said the council would be meeting Transport Minister Joe Mizzi next month to discuss the concept proposed by four young architects.

The idea is to turn Floriana back into the garden locality it was originally built to be by removing cars from its main road and regenerating the unused Pope John Paul II Square.
