well it was done before. and i know it makes one big mall but could be interesting..as for eyre square..their is an improvment planned if we can stop those tree huggers who have no real argument except object to any sort of development…i find their logic quite strange however…rahoon!!! wa
hat can i say and salthill could be a lot better than the sleazey place it’s becomingI’m still not convinced about Shop Street, it works very well at the moment.
As for Eyre Square, the current proposals don’t go far enough in my opinion. It seems to be just a cosmetic makeover and doesn’t deal with the problem of lack of definition to the space especially at the upper end. The whole premise seems to be to bring people from the station to the “town centre” as quickly and effortlessly as possible. What should be done is to shift the emphasis of the town centre towards the square.
Eyre square actually consists of two spaces. The green area to the south and the triangular market area to the north. A built edge to the north side of the green would better define both areas and create a stronger feeling of urban space than the disjointed melange that currently exists.
Sorry for going off the topic but it’s a favourite rant of mine.
that’s quite alright. that’s sounds a decent proposal however getting it through our stagant city council would be another matter. there was enough problems with the current proposals. 1 good thing i will say about it is that it creates a pedestrian side adjacent to the skeff. small steps but one day maybe they will get around to doing it right. that may be way in the future as it took them a long time to sort shop street out and still they seem to be constantly digging it up to repave it. bizarre…
