its all so low rise… even 120 meters isnt anything that is massive….
I hope they fill from spencer dock till the point with something nice…. mostly everything on the south side is drab, flat and boring. Very disapointing.
Next step is to get rid of the east link bridge and replace it with a tunnel (maybe as part of the eastern bypass)
well done with the pictures CM00
I hate those travellers burning all that crap. Most days there is black smoke coming from the halting site.
I love the above pic ! I think some skyscrapers on the port would really finish it off !
was that you on the bike CM00this evening??
Does anyone else think the new bridge on the docks will spoil the view ??
i thought there was something (electrical?) in those warehouses that made them difficult to move ?
I think all the development to date is incredibly bland and could have done with another 3 or 4 floors when you consider the width of the liffey. Although there are one or two exceptions to this rule.
By the way.. what is going between Spencer dock and the point ? it looks all pretty low rise from what I can see.
well done indeed. I am intrested in whats happening down in cork but some of those threads were way to long
just looking at those buses would make anyone panic…..its bad enough having to brave heavy oncoming traffic to stand beside the spire to meet someone for 5 minutes… relaxing at a cafe in the median with a latte is a helish prospect
what i still find hilarious is the notion of putting cafes in that narrow strip in the middle of o connel street with massive buses flying past just a couple of meters away. the street isnt wide enough to cater for such a circus
Thats great to see jackwade. If all of Dublin was like that we would have apartment prices of affordability for most Dubliners. Hopefully this kind of density development will be extended city wide and we all wave good bye to Semi-D’s
I dont really think Europe really suits the high rise model of some asian countroes or the USA. So seeing medium height buildings in Dublin seems about right. The only place in Dublin that would suit high rise would be Dublin Port if it got re located.
Cork Galway Limerick and Drogehda can all go high rise (100m+) of course : ) Its great to see that some high rise buildings are being built there.
just look at this boging picture I took the other day… I have more but cant upload because of the limit.
They have to do something about the pavement
Can anyone clarify what the shops are going to do with that 1-2 metre strip in front of their shops ? Its covered in minging 50’s style glass and concrete and looks manky.
The amount of clutter around the street looks to have increased sharply indeed. I just hope they get everything sorted by Friday.
The GPO looks stunning but I just cant come to terms with the side walk. Every day I walk along it I cant help but wonder at it. IT reminds me of the so called “side walk” in Saigon in Vietnam. Has anyone else ever been there ? Say no more. Well at least we dont have that stench.
Anyway,
The choice of stone for the pavement is highly questionable. I think it holds all the muck of the street. The other thing that fasinated me was the area close to the shops. They all have this glass type pavement over a metre in width. It must have been put in place back in the 60’s and looks completely MANKY in this day and age.
I just pray that the shops, hotels and the like replace this minging site with modern glass/pavement lighting.
Thanks for the reply Graham Hickey. I hope they can sort it all out but there is quite a difference in height :S
I took another look at the GPO and I must say it looks fantastic !! They did an excellent job.
any pics of the GPO ?? I cant wait to see the entire street finished !
Can someone clarify what the authorities are going to do with the .5 meter height difference on the top of O Connoll street with the new paving and the old. Its on the GPO side.
It would be some ugly sight if the Defence Forces had to rail road this parade down O Connell Street.
Why dont they change it from a Saturday to Sunday and save the shopkeeps millions ? WHY ? BECAUSE THEY ARE PROTESTANT FUNDAMENTALISTS WHO WONT MARCH ON A SUNDAY !!
