Belfast Council is pushing Stormont to create a fully controlled traffic zone between the new University of Ulster campus and Donegall Square.
The plan emerged at a meeting of the council’s City Growth and Regeneration Committee this week, where council officers asked elected members to note the council response to consultations by Stormont on the York Street controlled zone, created swiftly in the wake of the opening of the new University of Ulster campus.
Stormont Roads officials proposed all vehicles except buses, bicycles and blue-badge holders be prohibited from travelling along the section of York Street between Donegall Street and the Frederick Street Junction between 11am and 6pm.
