Council engineers say street can be made traffic-free without consequence for new civic plaza and BusConnects project
Independent councillor Pat Dunne said the council needed to be “extremely careful” of any changes to Parliament Street that might have consequences for College Green, which the council plans to develop as a civic plaza.
Fine Gael councillor Paddy McCartan said removing buses from Parliament Street could be “problematic in term of implications for bus routes and the whole College Green project”. The council would engage with the National Transport Authority on the proposals and on how buses could be redirected she said, “but it’s not going to interfere with any plans for College Green or BusConnects”.
A through route on Essex Street, from west to east, would be kept open to traffic to allow access to disabled bays, the District Court at Dolphin House, the Clarence Hotel, and for deliveries and resident access.
