Abandoning the Subway :

Should the option not to re-open the Subway for pedestrian use be taken, the following minimum works are recommended :

(i) Demolition of the remaining toll house at the northern end.

(ii) Removal of ninety tunnel rings at the northern end to ensure the structure does not project above the proposed development level or interfere with services and the exposed end properly capped off.

(iii) Location of the abandoned southern end of the Subway which should be properly capped-off.

(iv) The provision of manholes at either end of the Subway to enable access to present or future services should the Subway be retained as a service tunnel.
