Official record
Development description
O’connell street revitalisation project comprising reduction in the width of 2 no. Traffic lanes on o'connell street between denmark street and cecil street to a maximum of 3.0m each, and subsequent increase in footpath widths, replacement of one of the two southbound vehicular lanes on o'connell street with a southbound bus lane between william street and cecil street, introduction of a shared surface, where the footpath and the carriageway will be at the same level, on o’connell street from north of denmark street to south of roches street. A shared surface is also proposed outside the proposed international rugby experience museum just north of cecil street, conversion of all junctions within the proposed development boundary to raised table junctions, which will act as traffic calming measures, relocation of parking and other kerbside vehicular spaces from o'connell street to adjacent side streets. This space will be adapted to provide wider footpaths and additional pedestrian areas to facilitate people gathering, on-street trading, and “spill out zones” from shops and cafes on the street, provision of street furniture on o'connell street including seating areas, trees, planting, bicycle stands, and lighting, as well as features such as sculptures, pedestrian plazas and water installations.
