Car lanes to be given to walkers and cyclists on Dublin’s quays - Environmental News | The Irish Times - Sat, Nov 09, 2013: "A plan to reduce traffic lanes and remove parking spaces from the Liffey quays, and to create a new pedestrian and cycling boulevard, will be presented to Dublin City Council next week.
The 21st Century Liffey Project envisages the creation of two major civic plazas – at O’Connell Bridge, where traffic lanes will be reduced and a diagonal pedestrian crossing created, and at the Custom House, which will be completely pedestrianised with traffic diverted around the back, along Beresford Place.
The project, developed by urban planners and designers Fergus Browne and David Jordan, with the support of the council and the Dublin Civic Trust, seeks “re-orientating the public realm away from the car”, without completely eliminating traffic from the quays, by 2030."
