Little Patrick Street and Little York Street plan to 'minimise through traffic in the area'
Two Belfast City Centre streets are to be reconfigured for single lane traffic and traffic calming measures.
Meanwhile traffic calming measures will be provided to Little York Street. Other works will include the installation of planters with integrated seating, tree planting, rain gardens, bespoke lighting pillars, catenary lighting, and surface improvements. Council Planning recommended the application for approval. The council report on the application states: “The proposal would reduce street parking and minimise through traffic in the area. It would enhance active travel measures and provide a foundation for better interaction within the space.
“The street will be broken up with public seating areas which include rain gardens and planting. Street trees will be introduced to enhance the biodiversity and aesthetics of the area.” It adds: “Street lighting is also proposed . The lighting aims to achieve a balance in the street feeling safe and attractive but seeking to limit instances of antisocial or noisy behaviour within a largely residential setting.”
"Revisions have been received to the satisfaction of DFI Roads which adequately address the representation received. The neighbours and objector were notified of the amendments and no further representations were received.”
