As Covid-19 restrictions are lifted, there are plans to restrict cars in Dublin city centre and to pedestrianise College Green.
Some of the measures could see vehicles banned after 11am in a number of locations, creating more space for tables and chairs along with waiting areas for reopening businesses.
A joint report from Dublin city council and the National Transport Authority is due in the next two weeks, which will set out a number of temporary measures.
Any changes are expected to take three to six months to implement. It's expected they will last for up to a year and a half however some could become permanent.
DCC has already introduced a number of measures to make walking and cycling around the city easier during the pandemic. They include widening footpaths, removing loading bays and parking spaces and adding more cycle tracks.
Louise Williams vice chair of the Dublin Cycling Campaign says it's welcome news;
"It is a big move for the council, it is a lot of work that is going to be going on behind the scenes.
They're calling it a temporary mobility plan, we might prefer them to take out the word temporary and we'd love to see this becoming permanent."
She say it's about moving more people safely around the city centre.
The coronavirus restrictions have had a big impact on mobility in the city with traffic down by up to 70 per cent, footfall has dropped by 80 per cent while the numbers cycling has fallen by 62 per cent.
