there should be

Dear tutors,Emotion: smile

I have four sentences.
Imagine you are planning a new town.
1. It's important that there should be public librairies.
2. It's vital that there should be a good public transport system.
3. It's important that there should be plenty of open spaces.
4. It's essential that there should be enough car parks.
I tried to rewrite them. I would like to know if the following sentences have the same meanings.
1. It's important that there are public librairies.
2. It's vital that there is a good public transport system.
3. It's important that there are plenty of open spaces.
4. It's essential that there are enough car parks.
Thanks in advance....

I would go for the subjunctive myself, since it seems to be a formal essay:

1. It's important that there be public libraries.
2. It's vital that there be a good public transport system.
3. It's important that there be plenty of open spaces.
4. It's essential that there be enough car parks.
