9.0 Environmental Improvements Playground ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT AREA 4 Southern Gateway This area is an important gateway to the town centre. The carriageway will be reduced to a consistent width of 6.5 metres and bus stops rationalised. Rumble strips of rough-cut granite setts will be introduced at regular intervals as a traffic calming measure. The brick wall to the western edge of the park fronting onto the Main Street will be removed, allowing greater permeability. The edge will be reinforced by the reinstatement of a double line of trees, the remnants of which is still apparent. Bollards will prevent traffic entering the park, and a circular planting bed will provide a focal point within the park. Benches along the perimeter will be provided. A new line of street trees will be planted inside the graveyard wall to define the corner, and will extend northwards in the paved surface.Along the boundary wall opposite, low growing flowering cherries will frame views of the church. Further tree planting on the churches northern boundary will screen the recent development. Signage at the junction will be rationalised and appropriate street furniture used. ►Indicative materials Donabate Urban Centre Strategy 42
9.0 Environmental Improvements ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT AREA 5 Newbridge Demesne It is proposed to locate pedestrian crossing points to the north and south of the green, which will help to contain the space as well as acting as a traffic calming measure. The rural character of this area will be retained by use of hoggin surface on the footpaths, stone kerbs, and appropriate street furniture. Existing over-mature trees will be inter-planted with species found in the demesne. ►Indicative materials Donabate Urban Centre Strategy 43
