Goodbye cobblestones and paths! This is Temple Bar’s NEW look

According to the Dublin Inquirer, plans are being drawn up to improve the Temple Bar area of Dublin.

Temple Bar has had a number of issues throughout the years, from badly lit areas, to rough and broken grounds and has been named on of the worst areas for anti-social behaviour in the past.

Dublin City Council is trying to change this, and on Monday, landscape architect Daibhi McDomhnaill, presented a mock plan for the renovation of the visitor favourite.

Some of the plans presented included the replacing of cobblestones and a new surface for cyclists; removing the footpaths; improving accessibility and putting in adequate illumination; an increase of public seating and increasing the greenery in the area.

According to the website: “A design team should be appointed by early next year, and then later any plans will go out to public consultation."

It'll be interesting to see the changes being made to the area.
