Re: Re: O’ Connell Street, Dublin

Of course the ‘public realm’ here, as with so many parts of the city is an unmitigated disaster.

The tree is ugly and pointless, there is huge scope to widen the space and create a sunny terrace, and much of the ‘street furniture’ could easily be rationalised or better removed. A very simple project to realise a new space at the entrance to O’Connell Street. And perhaps then the various businesses along the stretch would have the chance to flourish.
