Quayside duplicating Henry Street
North of Cecil Street there is no ‘strategic reason’ for northbound movement on the Quayside. It
duplicates Henry Street. This can be a key Riverside recreation area.
North of Bedford Row, Harvey’s Quay onto Honan’s Quay is lightly trafficked and creates the
need for signals at Henry Street/Honan’s Quay. This route section is not needed except for access.
It blights the river frontage with excessive infrastructure. Signals could be removed at the north
end (near Arthur’s Quay if traffic is discontinued under Sarsfield Bridge).
Bedford Row being eastbound ‘sucks traffic’ from Shannon Bridge up the Quayside rather than
encouraging it to use Henry Street. The only reason to be Northbound on the Quayside north of
Cecil Street is to access the Howley’s Quay car park.
