Suffolk Street Public Realm

Dublin City Council are proposing public realm improvement works for Suffolk Street, Dublin 2.

Suffolk Street provides excellent opportunities for placemaking at the heart of the city. The Covid Mobility measures introduced on the street in 2021 increased pedestrian space and provided opportunities for outdoor dining.

Dublin City Council wish to progress public realm works, to build on the recent positive changes by enhancing pedestrian prioritisation and activating public space to reinforce this street as a destination to visit and enjoy. Dublin City Council and the NTA aim to improve cycling infrastructure to support active travel in the city centre. Access for emergency services vehicles will be maintained as will access for delivery vehicles during morning delivery hours.

As Dublin City Council and the NTA begin to develop plans to invest in this urban environment, we are looking for your input as we reimagine this area and strive to make this vision a reality.
