Clontarf to City Centre Cycle & Bus Priority Project discussion (renamed)

I don't understand why they can't make this one-way system permanent ...it's completely unnecessary to have two arteries leading into the city centre right beside each other.

Given the speed they are currently building on Amiens St it would seem this is an understatement. funnelling inbounds from howth road, malahide road and clontarf road through the fairview strand/Philipsburgh avenue junction ? Thats nuts as its extremely constricted

Still seems very long in what you would cover in a full year, I just hope it's not abandoned midway through or that it gets finished and a month late they want to replace the gas or telecom lines through it and have to dig it all up again.

It's lucky they planned for future traffic and allowed a LIDL and an ALDI to be built directly opposite one another on East Wall Road, we really do have The A-Team in planning in this country.

The various works to improve infrastructure along each of the core corridors are going to cause issues for a year or two all across the city in the coming years, so we are going to have to get used to it.

Dublin Bus have already updated the N4 running times once, so there’s no reason why they can’t again if the need arises.

I live a stone's throw from the main areas impacted and haven't received anything in the door since this all started.

Thanks for sharing. The road closures are going to greatly increase traffic in Marino as well. Lots of people will turn off the malahide road and come through it to "beat" the traffic. Best of luck as it's extremely tight especially on Philipsburg avenue. Can't wait to see the final product and should make the cycle in to the office a lot more enjoyable.

I can't see easy diversions around this either to the east or to the west . For the Malahide road inbound perhaps Griffith Avenue and Swords road but both those are busy out anyway . East Wall will just terminate near the permanent mess that is the Beckett Bridge/Sheriff St junctions anyway

The people of Ballybough are going to go mental too. They have to deal with all the extra traffic but none of the work is going to benefit them. No new trees, parklets or cycle lane for those guys.

I think it's just people who want stuff for Ballybough itself, on the main roadway. They don't think it's fair that they aren't getting any of the planting mainly, but will have to take all the extra traffic. I think at the time, one person pointed out how few trees they actually have. And to be fair, it's an even worse kip than North Strand Road already.

No, there was a woman who's part of a local residents initiative that wasn't happy at all. Lots of complaining took place on a local facebook group when the works began earlier this year.

I think it's the main reason for facebook groups to be honest. 

😂

I can understand people wanting better things for their area. But I can't understand complaining when another close by area gets something, as is the case with the C2CC route.

Interesting thread. I'm a bicycle owner and user. But I don't own or wear Lycra while using the bike. I've often wondered where the angry and rule breaking cylists go when they lock up their bikes. It looks like I found the place . . . . . . This thread. I've only ever seen rudeness and entitlement (exhibited in this thread) in school playgrounds.

If you don't wear lycra then you aren't welcome here mate.

And if you want entitled, then start with the jeweller in Fairview that didn't want extra trees, didn't want benches for older people, didn't want safer pedestrian crossings, didn't want improved water main and sewage pipes. All because of his failing business that he was closing down anyway.

Nothing here, and it's 250m away from me.

The Karens are now calling for a violent uprising of hard pressed motorists, the toppling of the current anti car regime and possibly a public execution of Eamon Ryan. The struggle is real and these people seem to be using their real names and social media profiles

I for one can only dream that the construction of bus connects corridors will be a fraction of this level of entertainment. And Fairview isn't even that entitled wait till they get to Rathfornom or Donnybroke. If Sorcha can't wedge the Rover over the bollords onto the footpoth there'll be mayhem.
