• the plan will see private cars being prohibited from driving on St. Patrick Street between 3pm and 6.30pm (access will be permitted for buses, taxis, cyclists and emergency services),
• the provision of new footpaths, cycle lanes and parking bays along Bachelors Quay between North Gate Bridge and Grattan Street,
• an upgrade to the junction of Sheares Street/ Prospect Row to cater for the revised traffic management plan for the area (to include the installation of CCTV and an additional pedestrian crossing on Sheares Street),
• the provision of a new inbound bus lane on Washington Street between Courthouse Street and Grand Parade,
• the introduction of a bus priority gate at the junction of Sheares Street and Grand Parade
• the upgrading of the the Grattan Street carpark facilities
