“西單北大街主路兩側禁止停車，新建4座步行天橋，二環至五環概念性規劃……”上周五，“第十三屆首都城市規劃建筑設計方案匯報展”在北京規劃展覽館舉行，2008年的北京到底是什么樣子？市民通過展覽找到了答案。據悉，本次展覽將免費向市民開放，展覽閉幕日期為12月14日。

In a move to improve city functions, Beijing plans to increase transport facilities and rationalize construction designs.

According to an exhibition opened on last Friday at the Beijing Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, major shopping areas such as Xidan Street and transport hubs like the Beijing Railway Station will rearrange bus lines and have new subway entrances respectively.

The second ring road, adjacent to old city's walls, is just a few kilometer away from city center. The eastern part of the area within the ring road will be dominated by business offices while its western side will see more financial complexes. The southern area will be residential and the northern one will be characterized by cultural facilities, plus grassland 2.4 kilometers long and 15-28 meters wide at Desheng Park.

The bicycle line is expected to be added to more roads and thoroughfares in the residential areas within the third ring road.

The fourth ring road will be Olympic-themed as many Olympic projects are located nearby. More attention will be given to the construction of transport facilities including parking lots and bus stations.

The fifth ring road links a lot of tourist spots such as the Fragrant Hills, the Botanic Garden and the Yuan Ming Yuan Imperial Garden. The planning authorities intend to give prominence to the Olympic atmosphere in the area, and will set up more traffic signs and lights.

The exhibition, to run till mid-December, will take in the opinion of the public.
