Also, the bulk of this is being done on two streets which have three of the city's main car parks on them. Which are fully accommodated in the scheme.
I get how these streets are seen as low-hanging fruit, but they're also reasonably tricky test cases logistically. ONWARDS!

One thing I love about these things is seeing the support that gets built off them for other places.
This quick report has already been cited by people looking for action in Toronto, Belfast, Limerick, Arlington, Fingal, Malahide, Galway, Cabinteely etc etc.
