WHERE The site is located in the Tallaght village area of South Dublin, including Old Blessington Road, Old Bawn Road, Tallaght Main Street, old Greenhills Road and Greenhills Road. The approximate centre point of the site is located at 53°17'17.2"N, 6°21'34.7"W
WHY The Tallaght Village Enhancement Scheme is a public realm and active travel project by South Dublin County Council designed to deliver a transformative upgrade for the historic core of Tallaght Village, focusing on Main Street and its key junctions with Old Blessington Road and Greenhills Road. The scheme aims to address long-standing issues identified through extensive public consultation, including traffic dominance, a poor and unsafe pedestrian environment, a lack of accessibility for all users, and the need to revitalise the village's social and commercial heart.
WHAT The project's vision is to create a people-first, accessible, and vibrant village centre. The ultimate goal is to create a high-quality, safe, and sustainable environment that promotes socialising, supports local businesses, encourages active travel, and fosters a renewed sense of community pride in Tallaght Village. This will be achieved through a multi-disciplinary design approach that includes:
Re-assignment of road space to prioritise pedestrians and cyclists, including traffic calming, provision of cycle facilities and bus stop shelters, footpath upgrade and realignment of road (if required)
The creation of new and enhanced public realm spaces, including plazas, seating areas, and social gathering spots.
Significant greening and biodiversity enhancement through the planting of trees and the integration of nature-based solutions like Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS).
The celebration of Tallaght's unique heritage by weaving its stories into the design of the streetscape.
A focus on safety and accessibility for all, with improved lighting, consistent surfaces, and the removal of street clutter.
