Following consultation with locals, local access will also be permitted between 6am and 11am. The existing kerb line will remain as is currently in this section Two-way cycling will be permitted on Parliament Street A new two-way cycling link will be created on the east side of Grattan Bridge. The traffic lanes will be reduced to one right turn lane only on the bridge. A two-way cycling link will be created on the east side of Capel St between the quays and Strand Street little. Northbound cycling will also be permitted on Capel Street to complete a full 2 way cycling link between Dame Street and Bolton Street. The Council hopes the that the project will proceed through a phased implementation and review process over the coming months.
