Why hasn't this road got a name?

Gloomtastic!

When you are directing people to Dollymount Beach you say take the wooden bridge or the 'other road'. Why doesn't the other road have a name?

I hope they update it for you - I've told them several times that 'Dartmouth Walk' is actually 'Grand Parade' - they've updated a very small portion of the road!

As kids growing up near there, we always just called it the Causeway.

Which is causing the lagoon to silt up alarmingly fast

sutton creek is nearly drying out now at low tides. was always a strip of water when we were kids. slightly off topic but i noticed from sutton last week that the dunes at the sutton end of dollymount had eroded to sheer cliff like face after the storms a few weeks ago.

The distance between the mainland and bull island has reduced substantially since i was a kid...the Crab Lake lagoon has gotten much shallower and in the summer the whole lot fills up with green alga that turns into a mess of stinking mud.

The powerwalking clontarf busybodies who dont want an anti-flooding berm built on the promenade will be lucky if they have a sea view between the bridge and the causeway at all in ten years.

I've submitted a few corrections and it seems to take an unusual amount of time to get them through, I think between 6 to 12 months seems about average. My first one, and the one that took the longest, was convincing them that the Port Tunnel was neither the N1 nor Grace Park Road.
