MEATH STREET

Dublin City Council is proposing a redesign of Meath Street in the heart of The Liberties. The aim of the project is to create an enhanced public realm and a coherent vision for the environmental development of Meath Street. Guided by community feedback, Local Area plans, and DCC developmental guidelines the design aims to provide:

- Widened footpaths providing more generous pedestrian space

- More space for a range of street uses including markets and outdoor seating

- Traffic calming and easier cycling

- Universal design for ease of movement for all

- Introduction of street trees and landscaping

- Revisions to parking and loading arrangements

- New public lighting for a brighter street

with the intention that Meath Street becomes a destination, encouraging and facilitating daytime activities and street animations such as cafés, bars restaurants and shops around Meath Street and adjacent streets.

HCoA coordinated the design response to this challenge, leading public consultation events and responding to the various demands for this historic street.

To be completed by end of 2024
