Liffey Valley customers will have to pay for parking for the first time since the complex opened 24 years ago.
As it prepares to provide paid parking for the first time, Liffey Valley is undergoing substantial development.
The shopping center’s car park recently had a €30 million facelift, which included expanding disability spaces by 14%, parent and child spaces by 46%, and introducing 20 electric vehicle charging stations.
A six-bay bus interchange is being built in the parking lot as part of the multi-million euro project.
New pedestrian lighting, walkways, and cycle lanes are also being introduced to accommodate rising customer numbers.
On Monday, October 17, Liffey Valley will launch a “comprehensive parking guidance system,” which will show real-time data on approach roads and within car parks to direct customers to the nearest available bay.
Park Easy is Liffey Valley’s new paid parking management system. The technology is ticketless and cashless, and it reads a customer’s car registration number as they drive into the parking lot.
The technology will record the customer’s arrival time and raise the barrier without issuing a ticket. When the customer is ready to leave the parking lot, they can pay online, at a pay station, or immediately at the barrier.
Liffey Valley officials claim that the changes would make parking at the centre “easier, safer, and less stressful.”
From Monday onwards, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., parking at Liffey Valley costs:
0-3 hours- €2.50
3-4 hours-€5.00
4-5 hours-€7.50
5-6 hours-€10.00
6-7 hours-€12.50 (Max Day Rate)
