Improvements are planned for Dublin's College Green ahead of a more permanent scheme.
From next summer the space for traffic outside Trinity College will be reduced in line with the BusConnects network changes.
An interim urban streetscape design is to be provided for the new enhanced space, with temporary greening and seating.
Some exciting plans for an interim scheme for College Green under discussion at the DCC transport SPC this afternoon. 🤩🌞

It follows delays to the long-planned plaza for the area. Planning permission was refused in 2018 over concerns about the impact the changes would have on bus movements and traffic.
The city council is currently working to employ a new design team for the now expanded plans to pedestrianise the area.
