In order to attract people and especially families back into the city you need to make them family friendly. So I propose the idea of

Residential Streets...

Newenham St is perfect for this and a great place to start off with if families are to be attracted back into the city
It is in my mind an unnecessary street. It fills no purpose other than a rat run. No businesses are there, no trees are there, no benches are there but plenty of parking.

A few buildings are occupied and that& #39;s it. Now if you close off the street to traffic and leave it as a ...
Residential street..

The residents will make full use of the street, it might attract families as kids can play on the street like in the 1900& #39;s & it would be a template for other cities to copy Limerick. Parking can done on the main route or access should be giving to residents
There is a few more I have in mind but I will start with this one as Number 5 is for sale there and two buildings are been repaired. No 5 might suit me but I have to look at it yet.

Residential streets will help revive the city along with the laneways been fixed up too.
An unnecessary street to me is a car parking street. It& #39;s useless otherwise when people can park in carpark easily. They still have to pay either way. With limited space let& #39;s make better use it of it IMO...
@MarketaDee you live there on this street I think.

What you think of my proposal???
