Dublin City Council has opened a public consultation on the revamped schemeThe design of the €80 million College Green civic plaza has been revealed by Dublin City Council, almost eight years since the last plaza plans were rejected by An Bord Pleanála. The new project, Grow College Green, will see traffic banned from the area west of the Luas lines in front of Trinity College, as far as the junction with Dame Street and South Great George’s Street. Under BusConnects, services would be routed away from College Green and east Dame Street. With the conflict with bus services removed, the council decided to double the size of the plaza, extending it from College Green to George’s Street.
