8.0 Traffic Management Plan and Car Parking Strategy Donabate Transport Strategy Map: Long-term Option Donabate Urban Centre Strategy 36
9.0 Environmental Improvements It has been identified that the quality of public spaces in Donabate town centre is generally very good. However, certain areas need to be improved to create a more attractive and inviting centre. The change presented by the redevelopment of key town centre sites opens up opportunities to create an enhanced public realm. There is a strong need to define the town centre by creating attractive gateways and approaches to the central area. The key principles of the public realm strategy are to: • Define the eastern and western ends of the Main Street through better connections into public space • Create a defined civic space and public transport arrival point adjacent to the train station • Maximise the use of the village ‘green’ through its integration with the town centre • Enhance the eastern approach to the town centre by creating a high quality tree lined route to the southern edge of Balcarrick Road • Enhance the existing Main Street with enhanced street tree planting, furniture and materials. Materials and Street Furniture Donabate has many established trees through the Main Street, village ‘green’ and along the approach routes to the town centre. These will be retained where possible and new trees of similar appearance will be planted in prominent places such as along the western edge of the Main Street to complement the existing. The materials used within the proposals will be robust and of high quality to create a modern town centre public realm. In order to reduce street clutter some street furniture and landscaping can be combined such as providing circular seating around trees at the village ‘green’. Barriers and bollards will only be implemented where vital to maintain traffic management and safety. Cycle parking locations will be created at key locations on the Main Street and adjacent to the train station to prevent the use of alternative street furniture as cycle stands.
