This thread turned into a Dublin A-Z because the usual Dublin Transport will grind to a halt argument was brought out again.

If I had a tenner for everytime I had heard people say this about a particular road change I would be richer than Bill Gates.

I can understand your train of thought on the change at Pearse St seeing as you work there, but Pearse St as an East-West route is under normal circumstances an absolute no brainer.

I salute your courage cycling in Dublin, I like the protection of an engine in front of me either rail or car.

The reality is that College Green is the Natural Centre of Dublin, it is a pedestrian environment that compares amongst the worst in Europe on a comparative basis. If Dublin is serious about having an extended retail core changing College Green is an absolute must to put the shoppers first.
