City Centre 2016

Again if money keeps rolling in why not. ‘m more interested in seeing Cherrywood, the Northern Fringe and Adamstown – their sheer scale is nuts. 10,000 new houses plus a million square feet of retail in Cherrywood, more than 10,000 units in Adamstown, noot sure of figures for Northern Fringe – think it’s 10,000 too. Essentially three new towns in Dublin. Will the transport system cope, will they actually be communities?

And its quite frustrating! Dublin is a work in progress at this time..I want to see the finished article..so lets focus on 2016.

Would you say the following will be 100% complete in 10 years time?

Samuel Beckett Bridge
Grand Canal Square
U2 Tower
Lansdowne Road
The Point Village
Spencer Dock Convention centre
Spencer Dock Train Station
Metro
Other Transport Iniatives – Luas extensions, Dart extensions etc.
Arnotts improvements
Parnell Square renovations

I’d like to see the Westmorland and Dame Street renovations.

I like to see the CC put on a major exhibition of planned and proposed and even improbable projects of the city, to give Dubliners a better overview of how the city is changing and developing. It would stimulate debate and comment…get sonme good feedback. Here in Hamburg the Council ahve a huge ‘stadtmodel’ showing all the developments planning. Its pretty impressive. I agree also the interesting points for 2016 are these new towns and perhaps Ballymun as well.

Amn’t sure whether you know this lads but they often have excellent models of proposed developments on the ground floor of the Civic Offices. I agree with the suggestion of something like that on a larger scale and on a more formal footing. But it’s certainly always worth popping in to Wood Quay to see what the latest plans are.
