New Guidelines for O'Connell street shopfronts
16/04/2004 - 1:29:17 PM

New guidelines for the design of shop fronts for O’Connell Street have been launched in an effort to restore O'Connell street back to its former glory.

The guidelines have been prepared by Howley Harrington architects in partnership with Dublin City Council.

A statement form the Council said: "Local businesses have also an important role to play in the physical transformation of the street and the restoration of the main civic thoroughfare of our capital city to its former architectural glory."

The council has already demonstrated its commitment to the provision of a revitalised O’Connell Street with the Spire of Dublin and the ongoing construction of a grand civic plaza to the front of the GPO.

City Manager John Fitzgerald commented: “By the end of this year, LUAS will be traversing O’Connell Street at the junction with Abbey Street, making the street more accessible and bringing many new visitors to the street. Some shops and businesses have made their contribution by properly maintaining or successfully installing well designed and carefully constructed shop fronts and facades.”
