Reply To: Is award for Cow’s Lane a load of bull?

Actually I think the major problem is the failure to incorporate Parliament Street properly into the redevelopment of the area.

If you are a pedestrian, Parliament Street with its breadth and traffic seems to end Temple Bar, there is no encouragement to funnel pedestrians across the street towards the Old City end. Traffic on Parliament Street should have been removed, and the street pedestrianised. Mentally people see Parliament Street as the end, as its so difficult at times to cross it.

Its nothing to do with bars, as the Old City is bar free except for the few venues on Parliament Street.
