Capel Street and Parliament Street pedestrianisation trial to begin Move by Dublin City Council aims to facilitate outdoor dining on busy evenings about 3 hours ago
Two streets in Dublin’s city centre will be pedestrianised on weekend nights on a trial basis beginning on Friday. The six-week trial will involve cars being banned from Capel Street and Parliament Street between the hours of 6.30pm and 11.30pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from June 11th until July 18th. The move by Dublin City Council aims to facilitate outdoor dining on busy evenings, and will lead to a reduction or elimination of traffic on a number of connecting streets. The council has already created additional space for pedestrians and diners through the use of parking spaces on Capel Street.
