Pedestrian Crossings
New Options for Safe Crossings
In 2020, the City completed a Heightened Awareness Crosswalks Report that identified improvements for certain crossings across the city.
As part of that effort, Dublin is installing High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) signals at select locations to improve safety and make it easier to cross busy roadways. These signals are designed to stop traffic only when activated, helping pedestrians cross safely while minimizing disruption to traffic flow.
Why a HAWK?
HAWK signals are used at locations where traffic volumes, speeds or road width make crossings more challenging. They provide a higher level of safety by stopping traffic when activated, while still allowing traffic to flow normally when not in use. This makes them a strong fit for busy or complex crossings where a standard crosswalk or flashing beacon may not provide enough protection.
How a HAWK Works
This system grants pedestrians the right of way by displaying a red indicator to drivers, just as a traffic signal does. When the system is activated by a pedestrian, drivers follow the same rules as a traffic signal.

Veo Scooters
Introducing Veo
The City of Dublin has officially partnered with Veo, an electric mobility company that offers a fleet of e-scooters, e-bikes and pedal bikes. Riders can expect to see five different options with 24/7 service.
How to Ride with Veo
- Locate a scooter or bike using the Veo app.
- Scan the QR code located on the vehicle. Pay $1 to unlock, then 25-50 cents per minute to ride.
- End your ride anywhere! Riders must park in a designated zone, at a bike rack or along the sidewalk perimeter, outside the pedestrian right of way.
* A photo must be submitted in the app to confirm proper parking.
How Dublin E-Scoots
DO:
- Ride solo unless your Veo device is made for two
- Scoot respectfully on a sidewalk or shared use path.
- Park scooters and bikes at racks or corrals
DON’T:
- Do not block the sidewalk when ending your ride

Curbside Management
Curb management conditions focus on the regulation and accommodation of on-street parking and other uses at the edge of our streets. The City’s Transportation & Mobility Division studied these areas, looking for improvement opportunities within the Bridge Park and Historic Dublin 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.
As a result of the study, the City created a Downtown Dublin Curbside Management Plan, which recommends updates to improve parking availability, increase convenience for visitors and better support nearby businesses.
What’s Changing?
Active Loading Zones
You will find designated Active Loading zones and signs installed on Longshore Drive in Bridge Park and on the east side of High Street in Historic Dublin. These are part of the City of Dublin’s Curbside Management program and in partnership with Downtown Dublin 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.
Parking Time Limit Updates
The City is also updating on-street parking time limits in Downtown Dublin to better align with how people use these spaces today. The changes will be in effect June 2026.
Locations:
- Along High Street and Longshore Street, existing 2-hour and 3-hour parking limits will be reduced to 1-hour parking. These are high-demand areas where shorter limits will help create more turnover and make it easier for visitors to find spaces for quick trips.
- On surrounding streets, most on-street time-limited parking will be standardized to 2 hours.
- Riverside Drive, from Bridge Park Avenue to John Shields Parkway, will also have a 2-hour time limit for on-street parking. Accessible parking spaces will not have time limits.
Public Records Request Overview
In order to support faster response and better tracking of requests, the City of Dublin uses JustFOIA to collect, respond to and manage public information requests.
Why JustFOIA?
JustFOIA is a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) online application that helps streamline the open records request process for the community and improve efficiencies in getting requested information quickly and accurately.
The application lets community members submit requests for all city records, including police reports. Commonly requested information includes accident reports, copies of resolutions and body-camera video.
