Parliament Street has been pedestrianised after receiving significant support from Dublin City Council. The street now only accommodates pedestrians and cyclists, with controlled delivery times. Residents and businesses welcome the change, noting the improved atmosphere and safety. Local artist Francis Leavy anticipates increased foot traffic benefiting nearby businesses, while CEO Martin Hart appreciates the positive impact of public events in the area. With stalls and decorations, the new pedestrian environment creates a lively space for both locals and tourists.
Rachel Coffey remarked, "It's lovely, less traffic, you can meander the street now. It has quite a continental feel. I think it will make the city a lot safer."
Francis Leavy stated, "I hope this will bring more people to the centre of town. I hope over time there will be more streets to follow suit, especially if more public transport infrastructure is put in place."
Martin Hart expressed his enjoyment by saying, "It's lovely to stand in the middle of Parliament Street in front of City Hall on a Friday afternoon in July and take in the city."
