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

NTA then. Does DCC really have a say in where bus stops should be? Genuine question. No point in allocating the space if the bus is not going to stop there. High quality bus corridors with high quality stops - and these ones are the best I’ve seen in Dublin - are a far cry from just plugging a pole in the ground like the regular stops. Maybe it’s more complicated than DCC making a unilateral decision? Just asking for clarity - you seem to have some info.

Commercial drivers should be taking their frustration out on the people making unnecessary car journeys, surely?

You’re painting a great picture of yourself. A van driver with poor observational skills.

Those bloody cyclists again 😀 (sarcasm alert)

Thousands of homes and businesses across Dublin without water due to major outage

518 is also being removed. See attached which was issued last August after works started. Documents as recently as May/June last year showed the old stops remaining.

I went around the ringer with this. Got responses from local politicians and NTA, but got no where. They claim it's been decided after consultation and following best practice, but they showed no proof of this.

There was clearly no proper consultation carried out, as evident by the removal of the stop at Preston Street, where a new entrance to Connolly will be built. Very poor.

Is the cycle lane inbound open now? It seems blocked off between Alfie Byrne Road and Westwood, so I stayed on the road through Fairview this morning only to get beeped at and berated by a taxi driver (who else) for nor being in the cycle lane. I did see some people walking in the lane. Confusion all round.

Good to know, cheers. Wasn't obvious at all that I should have been in there. Sounds like there will be a collision between cyclist and pedestrian in no time.

My taxi man friend wasn't enjoying a nice sunny day. The chap should have gone for a nice leisurely cycle.

You should report that taxi driver to the NTA. They feel too much entitled, similar to some farmers.

We should ban these pesky taxi drivers off College Green corridor asap for them to feel not being the kings of the city roads. We all share roads equally. I am a driver myself, but am extra careful to be safe and sound with pedestrians and cyclists. Especially cyclists as they often are equipped with cameras and sometimes are angry. I don't want to piss them off. But there's the reasons they are like this. Taxi drivers are much more protected around their metal can. They are just arrogant c u next tuesday 😁

Another stop/go system in place at the bridge just after Westwood. It was at the Alfie Byrne road last weekend and caused huge delays so expect something similar this weekend.

There's so much wrong with the works that it isn't even funny. The roads are borderline dangerous, especially for cyclists. The footpaths from the fire brigade station to the 5 lamps are a disgrace. I don't know who is signing off on all this but you wouldn't see this type of thing on a building site. It would be shutdown by a competent healtha md safety officer until it was made safe.

i notice tourists on dublin bikes going the wrong way in dedicated cycle lanes.... especially on the quays

Do ya really think now that you're the only one that noticed that and that the builders haven't?

It's a building site FFS

That's fine, the footpaths are where they should be
