600 housing units planned for Kindlestown area

I really think it's shocking that they are putting loads of houses there, in your back yard. Really they should go in someone else's. I mean after all don't that know you're all right, which is the most important thing.

I'm my opinion the developers are getting away with murder. They are being encouraged to squeeze as many units as possible into their land banks and there is no provision being allowed for all the extra traffic, whether that be private, public, commercial, pedestrian or cycling.

And sticking a cycle path onto a footpath and reducing the existing road width isn't sufficient.

It's been like that for years. Huge developments built around Dublin with nothing but houses - no schools, creche, miles away from shops, hospitals and bus routes. Isn't that what happened to small towns and villages all around the north and west of Dublin plus most of the neighbouring counties, lots of houses with thousands of extra people but no facilities or local employment opportunities. The extra three quarters of a million in the population in the past ten years need somewhere to live but they need services too, it's a crazy situation.

planning contingent on getting roads upgraded, ill buy that. but NIMBYs gonna nimby.

It is always possible to upgrade a road - whether it is politically feasible or economic is a different matter

Of course, if we do not want to increase our national spending on providing more infrastructure such as schools, roads, shops, hosiptals, there is always the option used in the 1950s, 1970s and 1980s when we "exported" our surplus populations to the UK, Europe, America, Australia and New Zealand

they're literally building a new secondary school in Charlesland, and they've just opened a large new primary school there. IDK if there is sufficient school capacity but it's not true to say nothing is happening (they probably need to build a secondary in Newtown as well).

Roads - there are plans for a new link to the N11 over the side of Coolagad, but TBH building more roads is not what we should be doing anyway and the N11 upgrade has been postponed.

The Dart is likely to be upgraded via the Dart+ project but the details won't be released until later this year and it will take at least 5 years.

AFAIK the lands at Coolagad are the last big residential-zoned land-bank in the area so there's likely to be a pause in major development in the next development plan. (though the Coolagad SHD doesn't include all the zoned lands, so there's likely to be more house on the land behind Waverley and Sea Green)

it is being widened, work starting this year - the whole road will be similar to the road past Lidl with cycle lanes on both sides.

As awec said, the section through Eastmount (which bypasses the bit in front of Laurence's school) is being built by the developers there and looks ready to go, the sections either side are being done by the council. The CPO notices for that were in the papers recently.
