Curbside Management

Bridge Park Business District Parking Updates

Business district loading zones and signs have recently been updated as part of the City of Dublin’s Curbside Management program and in partnership with Bridge Park business owners. Active Loading Only areas offer improved traffic safety and provide designated short-term parking options for delivery drivers, including rideshares and food/good delivery services. The changes aim to keep the curb active and travel lanes available to improve pedestrian movement.

The City of Dublin’s Division of Transportation & Mobility is studying curb management conditions – the regulation and accommodation of on-street parking and other uses at the edge of our streets – and looking to explore improvement opportunities within the Bridge Park and Historic Dublin districts. Within these walkable, mixed-use activity centers such as these districts, the demands being placed on the spaces surrounding our curbs have grown more diverse and intense over the last several years. Spaces typically reserved exclusively for parking and loading zones now serve as key pick-up/drop-off points for a range of services and the passengers and packages they serve – from Lyft and Uber to Amazon and DoorDash/GrubHub. The spaces also provide critical resources for innovative forms of shared mobility services, from CoGo bikes and Bird scooters, to the Dublin Connector free shuttle service. These spaces also helped to keep our local businesses thriving during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing expanded outdoor dining and gathering spaces – with benefits suggesting that such curb uses should be considered permanent features on some streets.

To assess opportunities to both better manage current uses of these spaces, and to appropriately accommodate recent and potential new uses, this study seeks to better understand the user experience from the perspective of the residents and property/business owners of these two districts. The following is a brief survey, your responses to which will add invaluable insights to inform our pending analysis of improvement opportunities.

Micromobility 

TellDublin: Micro-Mobility Survey

Low-speed micro-mobility scooters expand mobility options for the Dublin community, and rider usage continues to grow. In June, Dublin City Council will review the micro-mobility pilot program and consider extending it for 12 months. Share your thoughts

Dublin Micromobility Demonstration Pilot

The City of Dublin is implementing a Micromobility Demonstration Pilot study introducing motorized Bird scooters to the City. (CoGo bikes will be implemented at a later date.) Phase 2 allows low-speed micro-mobility scooters within City’s municipal boundaries (as outlined in blue on the map below).

At the May 22, 2023, Dublin City Council meeting, Resolution 42-23 was adopted. This resolution temporarily permits the operation of low-speed micro-mobility devices on streets, sidewalks and shared-use paths and expands the Phase 1 pilot boundaries to the City’s municipal boundaries, incorporating new operational parameters and extending the pilot project another 12 months.  

How Dublin E-Scoots
