Cities looking to remove highways/motorways

“It’s no longer good enough for us to remove a highway and make a replacement road beautiful,” said Ms. Richards of the Congress for the New Urbanism. “We have to reconnect the neighborhoods and invest in the legacy residents.”

Now, if Dublin could just remove the vehicles from driving less than a metre away from the outdoor dining areas, we’ll be in good shape.

This almost looks so good… Can’t imagine it’s too relaxing sitting here while streams of noisy cars, vans & busses whizz past a few feet behind. Come on @DubCityCouncil, just re-route all traffic & pedestrianise the whole of Merrion Row 👍 https://t.co/JoFc2Cqv12
