Limerick improvement projects

They have 2 bridges to build over the railway line. One by the Country Club and one at Watch House Cross

It looks like Hartigans hill will be widened so that would need a bridge. And there is no way to link the Knockalisheen Rd. to the Old Cratloe with out crossing over again.

Ide say in reality it will look more like Riverpoint in terms of the glass and won't be that transparent the majority of the time.

It will be nice to see the quays finally finished

Does it mention how many people the office element will be able to employ once complete? Just curious compared to the capacity of the Gardens development

1 Bishops Quay

Thats a good size for a landmark development and LEED finish too, hopefully it will have no problem getting leased. Plenty sizable office development down the tracks on the way with the Opera site so it will be a good indicator on the market, although could be skewed with the pandemic for now

This is being used as the car park for the vaccination centre.

Not sure how they could possibly look "out of place" when Georgian architecture is still going to be the predominant feature on Patrick Street and Rutland Street. We should be grateful that these buildings have survived for the past 250 years given the absolute piles of shite that have punctuated these terraces since the 1960s. It's a shocking indictment of Limerick Council/Limerick 2030 that the modern infill being proposed, particularly the absolute turd of a replacement structure at the Patrick Street/Ellen Street junction is of such woeful design quality!

Their builders didn't knock anything to construct these townhouses. The buildings on Bank Place, Rutland Street and Patrick Street were the first to be erected as part of Davis Ducart's plan for a new town on a greenfield site after the original city walls had been demolished. They are worthy of preservation for that reason alone. Not to mind the fact that they are perfectly adaptable and reusable. The last thing Limerick needs is more miserable, featureless, "could be anywhere" type buildings at the expense of distinctive heritage stock. What do you think makes more of an impact on visitors, tourists etc? Preserved historic structures or the likes of an Arthur's Quay centre or Cruise's Street that are failing and obsolete after 30 years?!

By the way, the Granary was built in 1787.
