  1. Two single quays really isn’t enough. It should be all of them.

  2. That artists impression needs a lot more rain to be realistic..

  3. Junkies and Canadian Goose Enthusiasts gonna run wild knowing no Garda cars will drive past…

  4. This is a huge win – cars need to gtfo of the city. This will make buses much faster and then as usage increases more bus routes can be added. This is a big win for cyclists as well. I’m all about it – now let’s see this expand.

  5. As we’ve seen in Cork with the failed Panaban, and indeed Dublin with non-compliance at its existing bus gates (College Green, Frederick Street), these will only work if there is camera enforcement. Here’s hoping those are actually done from day one, rather than wasting garda time or even just letting them be meaningless.

  6. Beautiful to see it. We’re becoming a proper little city. Noticed the repaving near the middle of Henry Street recently – class quality. We’re starting to role out some lovely infrastructure.

  7. *Independent councillor Mannix Flynn said*… the same shite he always comes out with. How does an independent get away with acting like such a gowl? He thinks his *own* City Council have to apply for planning permission for how they organise their own roads.

  8. Just as well we have a state of the art public transport service, or this could make the government look a bit silly.

  9. “Other concerns raised by the public related to those outside the city where there are fewer public transport options and that the measures were being brought in before major public transport enhancements were in place.”

    I fully back the meaning behind the initiative, but where does the traffic now go? An already clogged M50? Will there be more bus routes added to orbit the city rather than just go through?

  10. I love it when a plan comes togther. Shame about the people that are in charge of designing and implementing this one.

  11. Oh nos!
    We needs cars in every corner of the city.

    How am I expected to walk 100m!

  12. Does anyone know if this proposal includes any acknowledgment that motorbikes exist and are a viable form of transport?

  13. But I park and work in the Merrion Square area and need to get home to the northside. What the hell do I do?

  14. I’ve come to the conclusion that people don’t want to eliminate their ability to get to the cities by car, but they do want credible public transport alternatives that isn’t delivered using already congested roads.

    So I think ultimately what everyone wants is a just a fuckload of rail (commuter, metro, underground etc), and I’m totally onboard with that.
