Limerick City and County Council in conjunction with SAUL, School of Architecture, University of Limerick is hosting the second week of theย Living Limerick: City Engageย series, a new consultation process designed to collect peopleโs thoughts, hopes and opinions about living in Limerick.ย The latestย City Engageย focuses on gathering local knowledge and aspirations for the Riverway/ย Footbridge proposals.
The next week of events focusesย on the Riverway and takes place from April 25ย to 28.
Rosie Webb, Senior Architect with Limerick City and County Councilย said: โCity Engage is all about listening to people and incorporating their views into the overall plans for the city. The first ever Living Limerick: City Engage event in March which focused on plans for OโConnell Street was very well attended and we were able to collect many interesting ideas and opinions. ย We aim to build on that momentum with the next series ofย City Engageย events.ย Weโre holding a range of events throughout the week that allow people to choose a time that suits them to engage with Limerick City and County Council and to give their views about the Riverways.โ
Professor Merritt Bucholz from the University of Limerickย added: “We want to help Limerick build an accessible vision of a great city. ย Using physical models and prototypes we will help people understand how they can help build a city they want in a way they understand. ย These events aim provide an open door to the design of the city and a really new way to get great ideas for its future from the people who know it best!”
