Limerick 'superblock' street trial to entice footfall and community activity

The measures are designed to prioritise pedestrians, cyclists and public transport, as well as local access

A wide area of Georgian Limerick is to be designated as a “superblock”, which means low-impact traffic measures will be introduced to prioritise local access while reducing through-traffic.

Limerick city streets will be “trialled” as “superblocks” to facilitate summer activities and increase footfall in the city, its mayor has said.

John Moran shared a programme of summer initiatives intended to transform the city through transport planning trials, cultural activation, and enhanced public spaces.
