Limerick improvement projects

There will still be cars driving through then. The only thing that'll stop that is more extensive pedestrianisation and bus only streets

And pedestrianisation can't/won't happen until the alternative route is provided.

If they want to do commuter trains they need to be further out. Moyross has a bus every 15mins that gets you to town in 15mins.

Anyway that line is too slow better off concentrating on some of the villages on the Dublin line that used have stations or the western line that will probably never happen as it would take whole new track

The population of the city is increasing, the volume of private cars on the road is increasing. We cannot just continue to build more and more roads. Doing so will mean the issues faced today will never improve.

There must be incentives for people to use alternative modes of transport.

The city should target a massive reduction in the amount of trips of 3k or less currently done in private cars.

There's already alternative routes

This almost sounds like Green talk but no solutions. Currently anyone living out past St Mary's Church that want to get to the Cork side of Limerick drives through it, why not give them a ring road. You solve the problem of urban sprawl by not allowing development long it. They are two different issues, you can solve one and bar the other.

I've said it before but I'll repeat myself, there is one (ONE) bus out of St Mary's Park every hour. How does anyone think this is a good public transport offering.

I saw a tweet this morning to BE, their early morning bus was 16 minutes late arriving with zero info displayed so those waiting in the rain didn't know if they missed it, was it delayed or was it ever going to arrive. You can't get people to switch over to public transport with the was BE is run.

We have one bus to/from the city, it's useless, gets you to town for just before 10 and even then sometimes the driver decides to take a different route to town so misses some of the stops that a passenger might have wanted to disembark at. How can you plan your trip if the driver can do solo runs like this?

There is a wider problem with the buses too in regards to arrival time. If a driver arrives early to a stop they should wait but currently the only places I see it happen are on Henry St. and Sarsfield St. which has often left me in the " have I missed it " place too and made me give up on the bus to work until the 303 switched to 15mins. At least now I can afford to miss 1

Some of the buses to the nearby commuter villages should start using buses rather than coaches too both for ease of access and leap card use. Create a green zone travel area like Cork have.

And immediately a guy with a Munster avatar and an AIL team as his name jumps to a robust defense 😂. Apologies for saying Munster were involved I was misinformed

Don't worry I'm a fan of this development I just noticed it attracts little of the controversy that the various apartment blocks, student accommodation, mosques, roads, cycle lanes etc. get on forums or barstools

One block away, the same arguments could apply to the Augustinian's Church too.

Augustinians Church (NIAE)

Attached double-height gable-fronted Hiberno-Romanesque street-fronted west-facing church, built between 1938-42, with square-plan tower to north. Rectangular-plan church with a pitched and sprocketed natural slate roof.

Gabled-fronted elevation has a large Romanesque arched window opening with rough-tooled limestone voussoirs.

While the scale may be considered too large for this particular style, the detailing and variation remains quite restrained. The building, nevertheless, has a strong street presence and is one of Limerick's landmark buildings.

Are there still people living in the Mill next to the Savoy or is it already cleared out ?
