Proposed/Recently Refused Infill Developments in Dalkey

I don't think its over played. The whole discussion around Dalkey going one way or having a pedestrian zone while not practical (or wanted by the residents) is needed in the long term. Dalkey is a nightmare to drive through!
Making it one way or no traffic at all might not help but if more developments are built it will only get worse I think.
You're spared a lot of that as your road is a good link to N11/Dunlaoghaire etc.
The bottom of Sorrento / Vico and Coliemore Rd come impassable on a sunny day, the comment of 18th infrastructure is very true there.
Maybe Dalkey should only be for locals
:pac:
Except for members of the lower orders employed as domestics and gardeners. Maybe allow in some immigrant labour to give it an international feel0 -

Who says it’s not wanted by the residents? It’s hot good support on Facebook. The Gardai put in a great traffic management scheme recently and the roads where very free on the bank holiday weekend, they could make it permanent.
Pedestrianised villages works well other places. Deliveries in the morning. Then a ban after 100 -

Construction of both Charleville and Castlepark developments has begun with the Dalkey Manor site being earmarked for a fast-track development as per this link. It's a pre planning Consultation and not a a Planning Application. Nevertheless, the 103 residential units increases the scale of it by roughly 3 times.
I hate to dig up the infrastructure topic again. However, going by the map here, I noticed that 3 of the railway bridges in Dalkey have been added to the "record of monuments and places" as they weren't mentioned in the document here. Yet, a long term cycle route is proposed either on or adjacent to this section of railway. So, there is a bit of a conflict here. However, if they are going to provide extra space for cyclists, they might as well go all out and cap the railway in some shape or form to carry existing car traffic and potential bus traffic away from the village so that Castle Street can ultimately be pedestrianized or made one-way. This would enable the creation of bus routes operating south beyond the current Squareabout terminus. Anyway, that's just my opinion as the current ivory tower status quo will continue encouraging future generations to drive to and from the place. Before anyone says it, I know there is cycling and the DART. However, I just think we shouldn't be pigeon holing it to only these alternatives. Again, my opinion
.
Incidentally, new "further" information has emerged on The Tramyard which I am delighted to confirm debunks the numerous rumours which went around about it and The Queens being turned into apartments. It will also inject a much needed functioning heart into the town, especially in order to help the town recover from the damage which COVID-19 restrictions has done to much of the retail units. While many (mainly neighbouring) residents object to the idea of the rooftop bar, I think it is a potential unique selling point. Imagine being able to have a pint and have a 360 degree view of the area. I would visit it for this novelty alone.
