Hi Vinnie
My colleagues in the Centre for Excellence in Universal Design produced
some detailed research on Shared Space a year or two ago:
http://universaldesign.ie/Built-Environment/Shared-Space/
This was done with the involvement of stakeholders right across the
disability sector, including those representing people with sight loss.
We are currently trying to pull together formal pre- and post-
implementation evaluations of a planned Shared Space project outside of
Dublin. It is important that such evaluations include those who use the
space, AND those who don't use the space, to understand the full picture.
Marcus - Are the metal studs that you mention slippery in wet conditions?
They used these on one project in the centre of Dublin, and they haven't
gone down well!

Sent by: Accessibuilt list <[log in to unmask]>
Hello all,
I discovered recently as part of the Draft Development Plan for Dublin City
Centre that the concept of ‘shared spaces’ that allow for pedestrian and
other forms of traffic in one place, with appropriate prioritisation, is
actually proscribed by law in Ireland.
So, I am looking for examples of alternative styles of sharing spaces, and
studies or supporting documentation that shows how it may be successful,
that may help me sell the idea to the local authority here in Dublin, and
further allow them to push for a change in legislation.
Any suggestions, pointers or information would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Vinnie M Hall
