Enniscorthy North Business District (Old Dublin Road) – Masterplan

Wexford County Council is developing a masterplan that will support the redevelopment of the streetscape within the Old Dublin Road business district to improve its functionality and provide a consistent presentation that will be attractive to businesses and customers.

The masterplan will:  

• Examine opportunities for improving active travel (walking, cycling, public transport) within the Old Dublin Road zone and developing a connection to the town area;
• Identify options for landscaping and signage;
• Develop short, medium and long term options for the expansion and improvement of the road fabric within the business district.

The plan will cover the zoned lands extending from Blackstoops roundabout to Scarawalsh roundabout.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The business district can be broadly sub-divided into 2 zones based on intensity of use:

Zone A – Developed Business District Area

Zone B – Underdeveloped Business District Area

Zone A - Developed Business District Area

The plan will make proposals for:

• Improving and enhancing the  existing street and road  infrastructure serving the zone;
• Formation of an active travel loop around Zone A
• New signage strategy to support the business district including Welcome signages on the approaches;
• Landscaping and soft boundary treatment along Old Dublin Road with trees and low hedging
• Provision of Meeting/Rest areas at key locations.

Zone B - Underdeveloped Business District Area

The plan will make proposals for:

• New infrastructure & services (footpath, cycleways, public lighting) within this zone.
• Expansion of an active travel route around Zone A into Zone B
• A continuation of the landscaping and signage strategy within Zone B as outlined for Zone A.
