Dublin City Council Reveal Plans For a Completely Pedestrianised City Centre

The city is about to get one large overhaul that will leave motorists totally displeased.  Dublin City Council has unveiled its plans to turn College Green into a massive plaza that will be mostly closed to traffic. Private cars will be completely banned from the area in front of College Green. This will result in a large open area in front of Bank of Ireland and the front gate of Trinity College. Buses, the Luas, cyclists and possibly Taxi’s will be allowed access but private cars will not. Suffolk street will also now be off limits, with only loading times permitted before 11 am. Consultation with the public will begin next month, with city architect Ali Grehan insistent that any changes forthcoming will be made with the utmost care to historical buildings in the area. Let us know what you think of the proposed changes on Twitter @Herdotie.
