Re: Re: “Redesigning Dublin” – Chief City Planner Dick Gleeson’s vision for Dublin

that thread title made me shudder. However it all makes sense. At least he has a vision, if somewhat flawed. How will all this work though? He more or less neglects transport in that piece until the end, but it;s the critical element (I acknowledge it could be down to selective journalism) . Simply saying more LUAS lines is ridiculous. This is the Chief Planner’s job and DCC are not doing it. They’ve gone back to the drawing board again on Line BX. DCC RPA and Dublin Bus still at loggerheads…

He talks about architecture and urban design but that City Hall carbuncle was granted on his watch. Arnott’s were let apply to rip up O’Connell St. on his watch. The drab DDDA muck was done on his watch, he supported the Cable Car as well. A phrase involving money and mouth springs to mind, Mr. Gleeson
