This site provides a small area for vehicles to pull into and for passengers to disembark. Wheelchair access is available from this point to Macquarie Street and Hyde Park. At the northern end of the City, streets such as Gresham, Young, Bligh and O’Connell offer quieter areas to pull in and drop off passengers.
