About
DLR, in collaboration with A Playful City* and the local community are developing a co-created vision for Pearse Drive laneway in Sallynoggin to enhance it as a more playful, people-centred place for the community, by the community.
Pearse Drive, Sallynoggin, is defined by a series of long streets running between Sallyglen Road and Rochestown Avenue, with the majority of retail to the northeast of the laneway and public amenities to the south. With close proximity to places such as St Josephs' Boys AFC and the Community & Senior Centre, it has the potential to become a key link between these key stakeholders, as well as an inclusive, accessible and attractive place for the local community.
This exciting and innovative project will consist of multiple phases, from community visioning to design and execution, with each phase involving listening to and collaborating with community members, as well as LADT and Sallnoggin College of Further Education.
