Public Consultation: Living Streets Dún Laoghaire
Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council would like to invite you to share your views on Living Streets Dún Laoghaire.
Living Streets Dún Laoghaire is a new project that will explore options for sustainable mobility and public realm improvements to make the local streets safer & greener, keep our economy more vibrant, and our communities connected.
The project aims are to:
- Make walking, cycling and public transport more convenient, enjoyable, and safer for all.
- Improve the environment through reducing traffic and related noise and air pollution, and more planting in public spaces.
- Enhance the economic vibrancy of Dún Laoghaire as a mixed-use town and its attractiveness as a destination by facilitating the sustainable and efficient movement of people and goods, and by creating an environment that people want to linger in.
- Improve connections between bus, rail and active travel facilities to make it easier for people to get around.
- Promote health and wellbeing in the community by enabling safer active travel and enhancing the public realm for outdoor play, recreation, and social interaction.
- Promote equitable travel options and urban design that creates a safe and welcoming experience for all members of society, regardless of age, gender, ability, or income.
What stage is the project at?
We are currently carrying out traffic management and mobility studies in the area and are engaging with local residents’ and business representative groups. Our aim is to have a detailed scheme design ready by the end of spring 2023. When this is ready, dlr will apply for planning permission. As part of that process, there will be another consultation survey, along with workshops, public meetings and information displays to get feedback from the public on the proposed designs.
To inform the initial design process please complete our survey so that we can hear your views on the existing public realm of Dún Laoghaire and what you would like to see addressed in Living Streets’ design.
