Any loss of green space where people can meet to eat, move, run, roller skate, exercise, socialise, should be kept and enhanced. Cars should be kept away from this area in order to create a more pedestrianised space by the river; keep the air and noise pollution away from people who live and work in the city centre.
The idea of cafés at the bottom of Sarsfield House sounds great, although the building is ugly.
Some of the concrete should be replaced by greener areas. More and more people are using this park every day. It provides perspective, space and air, with the view across our fabulous great river and onto the hills, which people living in apartments badly need.

The city needs more green space beside the river and this entire area could contribute to that. In some ways the city has too much built infrastructure for its current population and adding green space in place of dilapidated buildings would be a real win.
The current area of paving in the centre of the park turns it into a bit of a concrete jungle. In the short term while plans are being worked on I would love to that area greened and to see Honans quay shut to traffic for good and the space between sarsfield bridge, the UL building and the park reincorporated into green space with tree planting. This would be a relatively cheap and quick piece…

• Sarsfield House shouldn't be demolished. It should be redeveloped to provide cost rental apartments.
It might be possible to remove the lower floor or 2 and provide a public space which connects Arthur's Quay to the Hunt Museum and on to the Potato Market while providing shelter from the rain.
• The shopping centre is past its use by date and needs radical change. However previous draft plans for the area include extending it into the park and I think this is unacceptable. The city already has very little public open space. Another option may be a cut an cover tunnel from Liddy St. to Rutland St. and build on the roadway.
Or completely pedestrianise the quays, ensuring that…
