A lot happening..a city of change.
A lot of propsals, a lot of prospects.. some stuff in progress, some far from commencement..
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 -

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?

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.

i would like to see a huge vistor centre built, with information on Irish history as well as a full rundown of city events, and touristy things to do. A huge model of the city could be laid out, with future developments as well as existing landmarks..and large screens showing a virtual map of the City Centre which tourists can use to plan their day. I believe Cardiff have something similar – we badly need one here in Dublin..perhaps on the site of the Carlton Cinema or is that too small?
Anyway it should be close to O’Connell St. -

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.
