PTB agreed…
but if you run the yellow line into oconnell st bridge underground
and connect connolly the same hows that???I hope this makes sense???
basically you dont need the bridge if you make a 500 metre tunnel into the interconnector
from BTpearse and connolly would be for long distance trains
what do you think?
the lamps of O’Connell Bridge could be put into 2 lines offset
i think O’Connell Bridge should be come almost a pedestrian sq with a little altar in the middle so you can take better photos and sit and chill out!
I just copied Ballast House but you get the idea something similiar but better have you seen the plant on the roof?
But I have a new idea for DCC they could aquire heniken and liberty hall and offer another site for them but that is a new thread later!
I dont think this bridge makes any sense once the interconnector/metro goes in and the steel can be used to make gromelys creation. I hope you offer supportive crititism to the metro to!
but at 50-200 million euro a kilometre its a small price to pay and whats more it could go under connolly into metro north or interconnector and stop at either colledge green or st stephens green or a new line south
but…
also I think that the BT site in docklands could go under ground and fork into interconnector and metro north north of the liffey last night i heard the pay 7 million in rent p/a ouch
devin that photos looks good!
I hope DCC really do consider vistas and do a photographic vision of dublin in 2008!!!!whats wrong with these photos???
what would you change if you could…
can you see how wrong the alignment of the footpaths and the five lamps are???
Its the same story from the other side so….I already have a few ideas…
mainly o’connell st sq. and the rest…
you might get a picture in 6 months : )im a fan of “No discernible Kerb” !!!!!
The problem is the buses they move and they stop and park where the hell they like…
They are even going to be included in the golden Z shaped snakebus only zone
that runs from temple bar to siptu. Dublin City Council may include these parking spaces and a visual assesment in the liffey framework plan…When the luas goes in you will have nothing to worry about…
It would be pretty funny to imagine a foot path that goes up and down up and down…
And then theres the colour discrimination!!!! whats next???
the problem with some building regulations is they discriminate against certain architectural styles/designs…discrimination is a double edged sword… 😀
i am very curious as to how and to what extent he will do the wave on the facade…
but a more important question for you….
should foster go for reflective glass on the south/west/east facing facade???? or not???
I really hope foster expresses the edge details on this building with reflective glass….
we will see…
another thing why cant you see dda applications on the internet?? is this possible to see these drawings?
dublin city council need to get there head out of there ass………….
and address the real issue….
and actually introduce safe 2.6 metre wide bike lanes in 2 directions across the city’s main roads
and at least triple the number of bike racks….
because when was the last time you could get a park at st stephens green???
some people appealed against ikea because the m50 could not handle traffic…
I doubt the m50 will ever flow!!!!
Dublin city council are too weak to confront the transport lobby to share the roads with pedestrians and cyclist’s fact……
this french advertising company are trying there same shit all over the world including sydney….
I would say its like swimming with mako sharks riding a bicycle in dublin…
if you had to drive next to a cliff with no barrier and no room for error im sure there would be less cars on the road…
Is it true in germany that if a train is more than say 10 minutes late that they refund your ticket and give you a notice for work???
Would you object to that???
I also find it annoying with bus tickets you don’t get change and you collect pieces of paper that get lost how much money do they make from this???

What nonsensical and aesthetical hysteria? And a poor comparison to boot. With train frequencies of up to 4 minutes you won’t be spending a lifetime in the Metro station, unlike public housing.
well I’ll put this to you 6 minutes to get to the platform 4 minutes waiting ( is it a metro or a luas im confused ? Thats 10 minutes twice a day
= 20 minutes a day
more than 3 days of your life a year
say 10 million people a year
30 million days a year
1100 human lives a year assuming life expectancy of 75 years
if you house is worth 500,000 and 2 people live in it
1100 divide by 2
550 x 500,000
275,000,000 million euro…
im not mad!! just taking the piss
but im guessing you have a 1990’s mobile phone with no screen because its only to make calls and it weighs like a brick…

the rpa may be 90 years behind london!!!!
RPA intends to award a 3-year fixed term

speaking of mickey mouse!!!!!
hahaha
full text notice…
I thought I saw a pussy cat I did I did I did…
you have all been tadoized!!!
Irish stone would be better for some stations…:confused:
I have not had the best workmanship experience in concrete in ireland!!!!
There are some ok examples…The big problem is the escalators…
You guys can argue all you want but I think 3 stations should not have there shape/location/entrances dictated by engineers and so called transport planners.
They should be dictated by landscape architects, architects and designers and the public…
The rest of the stations can have standard shapes.
I hope we don’t have to walk past a massive food court every morning what a tease…
The interconnector people could also be accused of copying a well known architect but we wont go there….
here is a little taste of some metros…
Im not saying they are all great but they give you some idea…

The purpose of mass transit is to move people from points A to wherever they want to go in a fast and reliable manner. They do not exist to provide an aesthetic experience. Once the thing does the job who give a toss.
the rest of the world must be wrong then!!! and ireland right…
calatrava has done at least 3 metro stations… and he is an engineer so its ok then?
new york
valencia
lisbornto name some…
gaudi must not be an engineer!!!
And yet we are happy to fork out millions for the james joyce bridge that does nothing for the city… It takes away just so a few hundred cars can cross a bridge…
The same goes for the proposed bridge in docklands sure there nice but they don’t add to the identity of the city
they take a piece of spain and put it in ireland… its a joke…its like saying why get richard rogers to design madrid airport???? Ive been there a few times and I can say it made the experience better…
This station will be the face of ireland the first and last thing tourists remember / see more popular than the book of kells and the guinness factory put together and they spend 14 million euro on one tv commercial
and in the uk they spend 800 million pounds on one station…are you saying you want the new airport to be concrete to???
so go figure…

yhold on for the ride!!!! I hope they come to there senses fast…
make a new framework plan with DCC for parnell to st stephens green limit traffic on the quays to 2 lanes and pedestrinise dublin… working with the public
Spend millions cleaning dublins buildings from pollution…
Does any one have a photo of the roof above connolly station where the trains park its black!!! and the air so clean…
Only then will dublin come close to calling itself a world class city…im confused…
have the interconnector people changed this much from june????
well they are getting paid what 300 million!!!! ( the engineers…)
sketch up for a project worth 5 billion get real….
whats missing….architecture
and
framework plans….
what was the date of this presentation?
im in favor of giving either:
a) giving the whole street to pedrestrians and outdoor seating
b) the council commiting to connecting parnell sq and st stephens green with a 100% pedestrian st
kinda like the parnell framework planor
c) the west side to the pedrestrians east side to luas and cyclists
In my eyes the whole link needs to be redone any street crossing oconnell st should only have 2 lanes one way
pedestrians should have priotry crossingeither way the intent is there they just need to get rid of all the cars taxis buses
and they should redo oconnell st bridge!!! line up the five lamps…
