Re: Re: The Quays

Crestfield, I think it would have been a nice idea but the expense involved could not be justified so soon after actually finishing the line.
Considering that it is a Luas only street, you could still integrate the Croppies Acre and Museum.
However, i’d say the real issue in not opening up that area more, especially the park is because of a fear of anti-social activity.
The eventual aim should be for an open public space running from the quays up through Collins Barracks with permanent access to Arbour Hill rather than sending people around and down Montpelier Hill.
It’s actually shameful that the Luas (which 95 per cent serves the southside) only moves on to the northside here and then doesn’t even provide ease of access for the residents of Stoneybatter (the only significant northside population who get any use out of it) who are forced to walk the long way around instead.
