Caple Street in Dublin to be pedestrianised
Well done to everyone who engaged so enthusiastically with @DubCityCouncil in the proposals to make #CapelStreet Traffic Free.

And Capel Street too.
Brilliant! Would love to see Dublin become a walkable, great city. More of this!
Thats genuinely great news. Love that street, and its going to be so much better pedestrianised. I view it a bit like Temple Bar, but for locals.
Fantastic.
This is nothing but an blatant attack on Rural Ireland. The minister clearly expects a family of six from Dingle be able to walk to Capel street – The healy rae’s, either of them, 2022, probably
This is fantastic, by far my favorite street in the city centre
Underrated street
Glad to see wishes of public were chosen over those of a few businesses
This is fantastic, and it really starkly compares to Galway city council’s recent retreat from doing a bike lane trial
Great news
I’ll be honest, I’m dead against it. People forget, traders need access to Lenehans
I read the responses. FML
About time. I’d love to see retractable sails or something I over it too
Deliveries to be allowed between 11 and 6. I think the pedestrianisation is a good thing but it will bring change, some businesses may need to move as it just becomes too difficult to operate in such a location. Thinking of the hardware/tool place McQuillans (??). As I said overall good but always be aware of the downsides to the change.
Great news! And I say this as someone who often drives down this street (on weekends) – happy to find alternative routes though, Capel Street is such a gem.
I fully supported the pedestrianisation of Sth William Street and Dame Place but this is dodgy and smells of gentrification.
But but but Eamon Ryan ra ra ra ra
Finally some good, if minor news. An easy change that’s better for everyone.
I hope r/Dublin find out !
I was skim reading the posts and momentarily thought it said Capel Street was to be euthanised.
Sad news. I loved driving on Grafton street and Henry street in my RR Phantom and now this. If us Rolls-Royce drivers are going to be ostracised like this, we won’t come back, ever.
Long overdue
