Road to Empire/Fire Station/new arena/Keel square


It was chaos last Friday night when the Empire and the Fire station finished at the same time yet the council have closed the road between the Empire and the Dun Cow and all the cars had to do u turns. Can’t imagine how bad it will be when the arena and the new bars open and this is the only road to get to them. The road has been narrowed anarl

What road between the empire and the dun cow? It's pedestrianised
 
Haven’t they created a route out the back of the empire on to st Mary’s boulevard to save people having to turn around at the back of New Look? Ideally they should try and pedestrianise the whole area but think it’s only way to service bridges, the car park and the resi towers.
 
You used to be able to drive round the back of the Empire and come out at the bottom by The Rabbit
In all my years I’ve never driven that way I don’t think. I assume it means everyone comes out at the traffic lights next to Street Bar instead?

Just pedestrianise the lot IMO.

If you turn left past the rabbit you drive round the back of the empire and can then get out on to St Mary’s Boulevard. Does everyone need dropping off or picking up at the door?
 
It’s got really bad for parking up there now. People dumping cars all over the place. Especially bad when there’s a show on.

Needs clamping down on.

I'd say you still can,there's a new road off st marys after gill bridge
you cant park but you could collect people i'd say

Just use the road around the back of the empire which goes past the fire station auditorium and Gill Bridge...it's much better and is there for that purpose.
 
A good few weeks back when there was a regional Labour Party bash on at the City Hall, the St Mary's car park was closed (without notice?) to the public and so we did a u-turn past the back of M&S right up around the front of the Rabbit/Empire/Peacock and up the ramp to the Bridges roof car park and got to the top and there was a little sign saying car park close!! It took ages getting out again via Cumberland St.
 
I though that had been blocked off, happy to be corrected if that’s not the case
if it has then it's happened in the last couple of weeks as I picked up from the Empire not long back
I think it's pedestrianised on the Dunn Cow side but is he talking about coming in from the St Mary's side?
I'm actually talking about turning left at the roundabout, then turning left at the lights, then turning left down the side of The Rabbit to go behind the empire and come back out onto St Mary's
