The place may be a disaster but it can still
be improved,
the new Coombe bypass will give the opportunity to make it more Pedestrian
friendly.
As for the central Island being a refuge
for pedestrians, It just encourages people
to dash accross the road at any point
rather than at the crossings.As for Jurys, they may find a critical
structural fault and have to pull the
whole thing down.
Otherwise let Ivy run free on it’s exterior.My earliest memory would have been after
most of the building were cleared,
Interesting that it’s been called a dual
carriageway, resonates with industrial
landscapes rather that a city street.I’m not sure there’s a need for the divide
in the road. Take Champs Elysses in Paris,
far more traffic, wider road plus proabably
more aggresive driving style, but there not
a divide in the centre.
I believe the corporation should do away with
these and instead make a real effort to make
the likes of Patrick st and Cuffe St. tree
line avenues. The visual affect of trees just
does not seem to be understood by the powers.On the same theme,
St.Georges st., some great building
and a nice street from about 10ft upwards.
A Corpo makeover of the pavements
would do wonders.The pic look good alright,
but it will look differently
against the mess on either side,
especially the Tara st, poolbeg st
area tall buildings.Then again if you were to show a pic
of Hawkins house against a sky that
blue people would probably say they
like it.The wooden Building…
If the building is now seen as
such a nice one by all and there’s
so many people saying pity it’s
not higher, why not add another
five floors. I’m sure it’s commercially
viable.Like the boardwalk mostly,
Wonder about a few things like
why there large space on either side
if the millenium bridge whereas the
boardwalk runs right up beside the
H’penny.
On the lights, attaching somthing
the lamp posts may have been better.
But I actually think they should remove
the lamp posts all together.
On that issue dublin foothpaths are
way over cluttered twith posts of all kinds.
Suspending more from building like is
common in Germany would be in my opiniion
better.Yea, it’s some Guinness idea and
it’s filthy dirty at the moment.The worst is the Big chocolate Box
floating a bit further down stream.
Will the corporation be taking
sponsorship on the city name next.
Welcome to Nike Dublin will adorn
Dublin Airport. Gateway to Tracksuit
city where takkieness runs free.Looks like there’ll be no hope of
getting the hoarding off the loop
line bridge.Happy Coca-Cola X-mas.
Point 4 above certainly,
That can go for starters and maybe sand blast the stone. I think beyond that it would be over pricey.
Also why did the water fall have to go?I could add a dozen buildings to the list but there going up all the time. There’s no point moaning about spilt milk. Turn all the interest in this discussion toward whats about to go up instead. Or lets climb that scaffolding around O’Connel Bridge house and start taking the building apart (my 1st).
I read somewhere about a development for the north quay, the bridge will channel people through an arch similar to the merchants arch. Could make that part of town fairly interesting. As for the bridge, you don’t want it to over power the H’Penny. The detail seems to be good. But I can see fistycuffs with the bottle necks that this board walk will cause as it comes to each bridge.
The developers threat to go ahead with the even worse plans approved years ago could be a mistake for them considering that all future developments by them can be frustrated by the state boards and the general public making infinite appeals.
Though in my opinion the layout of the development is good if the building were a lot closer to their surroundings.
