College Green traffic management plan

Sir, – The elected members of Dublin City Council should be wary of being influenced by computer-generated images of how College Green might look if proposed changes in traffic management are implemented. The image in your newspaper ("City council says College Green changes need to be agreed by Christmas", September 17th) gives a fish-eye view of College Green that exaggerates the open space, reduces the height of the buildings and shrinks the size of the buses. This is a ploy that was widely used in the past by car manufacturers but is now mainly used by property developers. It should never be used as a basis for solving traffic problems. – Yours, etc,

LOUIS O’FLAHERTY,

Santry,

Dublin 9.
