The purpose of the plaque is to signify and celebrate the conclusion of the Olympic Steps and Olympic Way renovation works in 2021. These works included: a 50% widening of the walkway; the planting of 24 matched pairs of trees arranged in terms of their corresponding longitude in the world, with the best specimens from the northern hemisphere represented. The new Olympic Steps replaced the monolithic, 1970s steep concrete ramps known as the "Pedway".
In our photo the plaque can be seen on the left-most stone bollard.
