Taxi rank option
bus lanes flexible times and options.
Let us know your thoughts!!!!
Well let us know your comments!
It is important to allow the option for traffic at certain times between R138/Nassau St so that College Green Plaza can have the additional option of only one lane of traffic.
We can understand the Green Party wish to put trees on the side of there offices however due to the trees near St Andrews Church and Sunlight access it would seem better to place these on the northern side and have the loading bays in front of Ulster Bank where the footpaths are wider.
This also reduces the risk to cyclists due to the fact of vehicles turning and the blind spots created.
Flexible means instead of a refused 1500m2 plaza you might choose a 2400m2 or 3000m2 plaza.
Even these larger sizes allow public transport access in flexible ways.
See image/click below and send your thoughts!
Here you can see a diagram of how College Green plaza and the design options have evolved.
We live in interesting times!
Well we are proposing taxis can go west east from 9pm to 7:30am!!!

Now there is no grass and no playground for children that is not the future we want...

Below is a comparison between one of the original Celtcia options and the DCC lead design which borrows many significant elements and intellectual property without consent.
YES.... we help save lives with design :)
The original most flexible design!!!
So you think you want a playground for children or car park?
Celtcia have it and more green grass and natural sunlight. Guess the 3 famous people in this image and we will buy you a beer! (Over 18 only! First 3 people only)
