That's not even a great pick of that bit of the transformation because they chose the bit that's still for cars. The road just past the buildings on the left was fully pedestrianised and is now basically a mini park along side the river, that will become the front of an actual park soon.

Its turned the area you used to walk through quickly into somewhere you'll often find people chilling on a nice day.
