Private cars to be banned permanently from College Green in Dublin

Private cars will be banned on a 24/7 basis from May 29 as part of the College Green Pathfinder Project. They are currently permitted outside the hours of 7am and 7pm during weekdays.

Each week over half a million pedestrians and 2 million passengers on public transport go through the College Green bus gate. This compares with just 27,000 private vehicles. Temporary build outs on pavements will increase footpath space on Dame Street. The median opposite Church Lane will also be increased, removing the right turn from Church Lane to College Green. This median area will also be provided with temporary public seating and planters.
