Re: Re: O’ Connell Street

O’Connell Bridge under-used! Are you mad. Its the busiest through route in the city surely, I would agree that a new bridge across the river would not be ideal but a light structure soley for use by Luas would be a small price to pay for greater public space on O’Connell Street. There was an article a few weeks back where the city traders assoc was also pushing for the new transport routes to be sent down Marlborough Street. They pointed to the possibility of creating a new stop at the current Dof Education with a public space in front of the Pro Cathedral (previosuly mooted in a plan for Cathedral Street). I think its ideal. It would remove the bus park from M St and return the street to some semblence opf normal usuage . The real estate potential along this street wont go unrealised for long.

Im not sure I get what you are saying about D’Olier Street. The M St route still allowed for the Luas to go in front of Trinty along College Green. We all know that the Pearse Street -Westland Row route is a non-runner.
