    Munster Express: City Council aims to develop ‘Green Routes’ in 2008

    Full article here.


    The Dunmore Road works propose the following:

    * A bus turning area at Island Drive (near Beckett’s Bar and Restaurant) and a proposed new roundabout at Island View

    * A bus lane running from Island Drive to the Earls Court/Island Lane junction

    * A ‘virtual bus lane’ from the aforementioned junction before the traffic lights at Viewmount and the construction of a new connecting road through the green belt alongside the Ardkeen Roundabout running onto the Outer Ring Road opposite Sandyridge (The ‘virtual lane’ system, operated via on-board bus technology, would ensure priority for buses at traffic lights along routes where a dedicated bus lane gives way to a single lane of traffic.)

    * A further bus lane running from the Dunmore Road/Passage Road junction as far as Newtown School, as well as traffic signals and a bus gate at the Newtown junction

    * Traffic signals and a pedestrian crossing at the De La Salle College/Waterpark School junction, and

    * A cycle track running from Island Drive to the Park Road.
