EXPLORING Link to Motorbike Parking

#MotorbikeParkingBeta

Motorbike Parking

We don't tend to provide specific motorbike parking and they are not supposed to park on pavements. Is there a better solution?

EXPLORING Link to Disabled Parking

#DisabledParkingBeta

Disabled Parking

Should we revise the disabled parking signage? If so, what should it reflect and why?

EXPLORING Link to Cycle Lane Hours

#CycleHoursBeta

Cycle Lane Hours

Should the operational hours of cycle lanes be 24/7 rather than part-time? What would be the effects of such a change?

EXPLORING Link to Red Clamp

#RedClampBeta

Red Clamp

We don't differentiate between legal and illegal parking in terms of how we clamp. Would it be beneficial to do so?

EXPLORING Link to Leap Points

#LeapPointBeta

Leap Points

Could we highlight transport interchanges? Would they help people get around the city and strengthen neighbourhoods?

LIVE (concept stage) Link to City Challenge - Dumping & Waste

#DumpingWasteBETA

City Challenge - Dumping & Waste

There is a problem with onstreet dumping of household waste in Dublin. We'd like to explore solving this issue with your help.

LIVE (scaling stage) Link to Parklets

#StreetParkletBeta

Parklets

Businesses can apply to put tables and chairs on the pavement. Could they apply to use car parking spaces in a similar way?

LIVE (scaling stage) Link to Residential Bike Hangars

#BikeHangarBETA

Residential Bike Hangars

Should residents be able to apply to park their bicycles in an onstreet, shared, bicycle hangar near their home?

LIVE (scaling stage) Link to Street Art Walls

#ArtWallsBeta

Street Art Walls

The street art community wants more walls on which they can paint. Might allowing that also solve some maintenance issues?

LIVE (concept stage) Link to Rain Box Planters

#RainBoxBeta

Rain Box Planters

Could we use plant boxes to reduce the amount of stormwater entering our drains, whilst also greening our streets?

LIVE (concept stage) Link to Driving Data

#DrivingDataBeta

Driving Data

Would better driving behaviour data help us to design a better city? Would citizens be interested in providing some?

LIVE (local implementing) Link to Love Locks

#LoveLocksBeta

Love Locks

This Beta Project will look at the problem of love locks on the Ha’Penny Bridge (and neighbouring bridges and Boardwalk).
