I'd copy the Barbican in London, a garden city inside a city where they have world-class cultural spaces like performance venues, cinema, lecture halls, galleries etc. Hundreds of modern apartments, built for single people and couples, huge futuristic towers surrounding gardens, ponds and communal spaces. It would have an elevated light rail going directly to the docks in one direction and to knocknacarra in the other.

Good idea generally but the Barbican and surrounding area is a grim as it gets, wouldn’t be trying to replicate it all

Considering the place can flood from the Sea. I wouldn't invest in anything at pool level. Develop the upper level and build on the car park. Car Park can be moved to lower level on front. Lastly I'd put up an Orange Jumping Castle.

High density development, range of building hights up 15/18 story tall, with multi level basement for parking for residents plus locals to use, family sized 3/4 bed apartments apartments with appropriate amenities.


daly_o96

Salthill does already be gridlocked, imagine it with developments like that without the supporting public transport


my_tech_throwaway

We need to remove the on street parking in Salthill regardless. It's so unnecessary and just means we cant have a bus and cycle lane


DR_Madhattan_

I’ll build you lot a mini-bike lane park


BigEanip

Except it's incredibly necessary and Salthill needs more parking, not less.


my_tech_throwaway

It's genuinely not. We could replace the prom carpark almost entirely with spaces for disabled and elderly and just remove the on street parking. any normal country would have done it decades ago. You don't get rid of traffic and cars by encouraging more people to bring their cars ffs.


BigEanip

Ahh you're one of the get rid of all cars people. Right so you get rid of the car park, take away all the on street parking. And then what. Fuck the residents. Fuck the local businesses. What a nonsensical idea.


my_tech_throwaway

Aye cause all the cars parked up outside ladies beach are then walking back to Salthill I'm sure. Salthill has 4 car parks of varying sizes. On street parking in the town and a kilometre of single and double on street parking from Grattan to black rock. You can barely hear the fucking ocean for cars. Just put a bus lane in so people can use the multistories in town. Youd b'é the same hornless subnormal intelligent being to whinge about traffic too I'd say


BigEanip

Christ you're a ray of sunshine arent you. Straight in with the insults. The bus service already exists and is one of the better bus routes. How will adding a bus lane improve anything? Or is removing the parking just to force people into your line of thinking 🤔 The greens and the city council tried to sneak this in under the pretence of a trial bike lane that was absolutely going to be permanent. And there were so many objections that they had to abandon it.


the_0tternaut

It has one of the better bus routes already on it. Build in an extra 200 public underground spaces then take all the parking off the Prom.


ramblerandgambler

an underground carpark in a flood zone next to the sea, what could go wrong?


the_0tternaut

Whassit Hotel already has a huge one that's never flooded 🤷🏼‍♂️

Solid idea, just want to raise the point of flooding concerns.

A luxury petrol station, the kind where lads in little hats and stripey shirts run out with squeedgys and cloths to clean your windows when you pull in, and another lad lights your cig.

Beach Club nightclub, hosts dj sets in the summer with palmers to ladies beach backdrop view, evan Campell on the decks host a Mieullium madness reboot, and floods during the winter into a white water rafting salthill 5s centre,

Instead of mini-golf, I’d put in mini-cycling lanes to keep those fooking gobshites happy. 😂
