New plans for the pedestrianisation of Dublin's Dame St are to be put out for public consultation.
They would involve the area between South Great George's St and Anglesea St near Bank of Ireland having a new two way cycleway.
One option would allow vehicle access and deliveries all day and the other option would limit this access to between 6am and 11am.
The plans - which are the two most favoured out of five options - were discussed by Dublin City Council's transport committee.
In a statement, the council management stated that the National Transport Authority's final report on the redesign of bus services in Dublin removes the need for buses to use Dame St from South Great Georges St to Trinity College.
"This now creates an opportunity to significantly improve the public realm along Dame St between South Great George's St and Anglesea St, as part of the College Green Plaza project," said the statement.
The council had previously applied unsuccessfully to An Bord Pleanála for its plan for a pedestrian plaza on College Green.
The proposal to halt east/west vehicle traffic on Dame St was one of the most contentious part of the plan and the planning board specified the effect on Dublin bus services as a reason for its refusal.
The council said the present plan follows a number of events in College Green including car free days.
It is putting two suggestions - Option 3 (24 hour vehicle delivery access) and Option 4 (vehicle access limited to between 6am and 11am) - out for public consultation from 5 November until 15 January.
However, the council said this process is non-statutory and is at a preliminary concept stage to "inform the design process".
