This morning.
Capel Street, Dublin 1.
Key elements of the changes?
Via Dublin City Council:
Permanent closure at Parnell Street after Jervis Lane to remove through traffic on Capel Street.Delivery access will be facilitated between 6am and 11am. Car parking spaces will be removed and converted to loading bays to ensure there is sufficient space. There will be all day loading provided at a number of side streets.
Mary’s Abbey traffic flow direction will be reversed and residents exiting from Abbey Street will exit via Mary’s Abbey.
Mary Street between Capel Street and Jervis Lane will be reversed.
Strand Street Little and Strand Street Great will remain open to traffic all day.
Initial street improvements including seating and greening are to be provided.
Fight!

Which street in Dublin do you think holds the most chaotic energy?
I’m nominating Talbot St. Hands down, I never know what I’m going to witness when I go there.— Pints Before People (@sonofedge) July 26, 2019
I vote for Capel St. Nowhere else I know of can you get a scale model train, nunchucks, a belt sander, the start of a hemp farm, a chicken fillet roll and a dildo you could club a moose to death with in one brief stroll. https://t.co/TiyJjAQsQ8
