<strong>Limerick</strong> 2030 <strong>An</strong> <strong>Economic</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Spatial</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Limerick</strong><br />
Henry Street – Poor use of space<br />
Oversupply of lanes means higher speeds <strong>and</strong> poor use of space overall. Need to rationalise.<br />
Maximum ‘through lanes’ available limited to three by Franciscan Church between Sarsfield<br />
Street <strong>and</strong> Bed<strong>for</strong>d Row (right photo below).<br />
Area outside Savoy with Echelon parking (<strong>and</strong> on Shannon Street) is poor organisation <strong>and</strong> use of<br />
frontage.<br />
North of Sarsfield Street this corridor (k/a Liddy Street) is more lightly trafficked.<br />
Henry St is likely to be able to cope with minimum of 2 lanes northbound <strong>and</strong> 1 lane southbound,<br />
with right turn boxes added at junctions.<br />
Henry Street <strong>and</strong> O’Connell Street Together<br />
Although it may be beneficial to create full pedestrian area on O’Connell Street it is unlikely that<br />
Henry Street could cope with all relocated traffic (<strong>and</strong> turning movements). Northern entry width<br />
to Catherine Street restricts significant use of that corridor south of William Street.<br />
