City Walk, Canberra

City Walk is a paved outdoor pedestrian area in Civic, Canberra. It was formed by the closure to traffic of Alinga Street between East Row in the east (at the City Interchange) and Binara Street (near Casino Canberra) in the south-west, and named City Walk in January 1975.[1] Pedestrians can walk almost the whole way without having to cross any roads with cars on them, except for Akuna Street.
