Trial pedestrianisation of George's Street in Dun Laoghaire to end next week

The trial pedestrianisation of George's Street in Dun Laoghaire will end next week.

The street was closed to drivers as part of Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council's 'Summer Streets' initiative.

The council confirmed that the pedestrianisation will end on Thursday, September 30, however some elements from the trial will remain.

They said: "The greening, trees, and public seating we installed at St. Michael's Square will be retained.

"We'll also be keeping the layout and public realm changes to Myrtle Square until the permanent Part 8 scheme for Myrtle Square can progress."

The council has published a list of the changes Dun Laoghaire locals can expect over the coming days.

"Planters, seating, and bike parking that was added for the trial in the pedestrianised areas will be removed and will be re-used in other public realm or mobility projects elsewhere in the County.

"Traffic signage and lining will be re-installed on George's Street Lower, Convent Road, and Sussex Street.

"Parking and loading bays will revert to layout as they were before July 5th and the start of pedestrian trial.

"Bus routes and stops will revert to their locations as of October 1st.

"Licencing in relation to the extent of some outdoor trading and dining will need to be reviewed and amended to reflect the return of the original traffic layout."
