From: Absolute Safety Sent: Tuesday 11 August 2020 17:15 To: cdp Subject: Carrick on Shannon improvement Project Urgent Hello, My wife and I have travelled extensively throughout our fellow European towns and have noticed a common thread running through the most vibrant and successful towns in these European countries...... The presence of pedestrianised streets some of which were variable - as in free flowing or pedestrianised based on the time of the day or day of the week to suit peak visitor times. This was achieved by an automatic barrier that worked on a timer. These towns also benefited greatly from a central square fed directly from the pedestrianised routes. These spaces had internal glass spaces and “some” outdoor space also. The creative choice of amenities is also Self evident and would need some thought as to what would work in Carrick-on- Shannon taking into account visitor and local demographics. Proper ambient and variable lighting / laser shows are always an inviting feature with possible space for an open air cinema. Pedestrianisation would also greatly benefit air quality and pedestrian safety in the immediate and wider areas due to reduced/ absent traffic flows; also a unique marketing point for many towns in Europe. Street art and street music aided by a suitable and creative mix of street trading licenses would add to the vibrancy and sense of place.
