The Penang Hill cable car project will include a major upgrade to public infrastructure supporting Penang Botanic Gardens in George Town.

About 400m before the front gate to the gardens in Jalan Kebun Bunga, an arch and boom gate will block the road and the stretch to the garden will be turned into a pedestrian promenade under shady trees.
