Almost impossible to drive down Colepark right now, can only imagine what it’ll be like when this comes in. The residents there will not be happy, very unsafe for any kids playing around there.
Ballyfermot Road is the main thoroughfare for Eastbound traffic coming from Palmerstown and Clondalkin because they don't want to spend half the day stuck at the traffic lights in Palmerstown village. They need to build an over-pass there to divert traffic away from Ballyfermot Road or otherwise there's going to be chaos. I've never seen such ill thought-out planning in my life.
This is crazy! Why on earth prioritize a bus route to a shopping centre? Nobody lives there! Commercial interests involved here, no doubt. Priority should be given to providing decent bus routes to and from residential areas. That's where People live, you know.
Hopefully you’ll soon wake up a litttle bit and realise it’s not just for a shopping centre and many people use these routes to get into town home from town and around shopping 💀💀 don’t people think? 😂
Shortage of bus drivers, over-filled buses and inaccurate real-time are large barriers to people getting the bus, and the ridiculous hourly 60. Those obstacles should be fixed before large-scale building works, imo.
@shotkiev4246 There isn't much traffic between Ballyfermot Upper and Liffey Valley. No need for all the bus and cycle lanes that they already built from Cherry Orchard to Liffey Valley. The bus was able to get through fine before. They just want to look busy, imo, without actually making a proper change to the running of the country. Making the shopping centre even more attractive to visit encourages more consumerism and waste, and is definitely what centre management are likely to want. Not something I would have called a green policy, but sure...
Turning Ballyfermot Road into a dual carriageway is not a good move. Many trees removed. Not a green policy. What we need is better traffic light sequencing and removal of shikanes which slow and hold up traffic. And the roundabout works just fine. It makes no sense to put in traffic lights to stop the traffic flow which you say you want to stop being congested. And we don't need cycle lanes if we have bus lanes.
Trees removed ≠ not a green policy. The trees removed will be made up for by the increase in bike and bus journeys as a result of these new corridors being made available. Increased bus and bike users will lead to less cars on the road resulting in faster journey times for drivers. Win-win for all
Exactly. The road is fine as it is. The roundabout alleviates congestion. The 200 trees on the road are just starting to reach a decent size. There are things like the HSE that don't work, train services for rural areas that don't exist, and they could better finance and manage them. But instead they just want to bulldoze through suburbs, to create 16 new routes with too much bilateral to be justifiable. There are better ways to reduce emissions. Reduce number of flights could be one. They could make the main road a little wider by adding in one extra bus lane on the side where there currently is none, and cyclists could use it too. Change the traffic light sequence, as they are sometimes out of sync. They are going really overboard with this very expensive project.
Why change 26 to 80 a different route again like they took away 40..😡pain in my head bad enough making us pay to park in liffey valley .hate those G2 buses not exactly safe place to get off and on in town.so many ppl going mad over non drive in town cycle bus or walk redicolus

Theory and practice are two different sciences. As different as night and day. More bullshit. Waste of taxpayers money.

Play area at a main road what a load of bollox. Leave the roundabout alone and the area!!!!
Any video for Clongriffin to City Centre?
