Limerick 2030 An Economic and Spatial Plan for Limerick Henry Street – Poor use of space Oversupply of lanes means higher speeds and poor use of space overall. Need to rationalise. Maximum ‘through lanes’ available limited to three by Franciscan Church between Sarsfield Street and Bedford Row (right photo below). Area outside Savoy with Echelon parking (and on Shannon Street) is poor organisation and use of frontage. North of Sarsfield Street this corridor (k/a Liddy Street) is more lightly trafficked. Henry St is likely to be able to cope with minimum of 2 lanes northbound and 1 lane southbound, with right turn boxes added at junctions. Henry Street and O’Connell Street Together Although it may be beneficial to create full pedestrian area on O’Connell Street it is unlikely that Henry Street could cope with all relocated traffic (and turning movements). Northern entry width to Catherine Street restricts significant use of that corridor south of William Street. June 2013 98
Limerick 2030 An Economic and Spatial Plan for Limerick O’Connell Street could have increased pedestrianisation while retaining traffic south of Sarsfield Street junction in particular, working with Henry Street to ‘spread the load’ but create a better pedestrian/vehicle balance (see figure 12 below).) North of Sarsfield Street junction some or all of (except local access) the southbound movement along O’Connell Street could be diverted onto Henry Street at Arthur’s Quay . This would allow linkage across from The Milk Market and pedestrianised area towards the Shannon Riverside and Arthur’s Quay pedestrian entrance. This could remove the need for signals at Arthur’s Quay/O’Connell Street There is to much parking on O’Connell Street between Sarsfield Street and Cecil Street. At least one side of this could be removed to create a stronger pedestrian movement. Arthur’s Quay is in a sea of traffic. The main pedestrian entrance fronts onto a traffic gyratory that is over-designed against apparent use. Figure 12 below demonstrates the concepts to be considered. Figure 12: A.
