Cardiff - The go-ahead was yesterday given for a £120 million scheme to create a new Champs Elysees-style tree-lined boulevard in Cardiff.
Work will start immediately to transform the existing mile-long Bute Street into a dualcarriageway thoroughfare linking the city centre with its regenerated dockland area.
The design was drawn up by Mr David Mackay of Barcelona-based MBM Arquitectes, who designed the boulevards for the Catalan capital's Olympic village.
