    Passing the Raheen industrial estate today and seen that there are crash barriers, like the ones you see on dual carriage ways, being erected on either side of the road leading up to the roundabout where Caseys, the southcourt, and the entrance to the raheen industrial estate are located.

    They are in front of the bus stop blocking it in.

    Anyone know why they are putting these up here of all places? Only thing i can think of is that they are digging something really really deep. but what?

    They are up about 2 maybe 3 weeks now. The workers are painfully
    slow at doing what ever they are doing.

    I asked some of the Bus Drivers what they were doing but none of them knew.

    At first I thought they were putting in a Bus lane, taking away some of the green area
    to push the bus stop back a bit and adjust the path. But........they have not done any of this.

    They seem to have dug a hole from the top bus stop (outside the flower shop) all
    the way down too the next bus stop at Raheen/Meadowvale cross. They also have
    cleared away a patch of Mud over the oppisate side of the road I thing they may
    put a shelter over that side from the looks of things.

    One thing I would love to see is something like the Dart where theres a clock
    and sensors along the route where it tells you in minutes how long the bus
    is going to be. Better still have some sort of map with LEDs's that show you
    the progress of the bus. One of the biggest frustrations of waiting for the bus
    (sometimes over an hour!!) is the not knowing how long to wait before you
    give up and pay a a tenner for a cab into town.

    No offence, but how long do you think that would last on a bustop in Limerick?

    About as long as you would expect them to last anywhere else i think.

    They are currently pushing back the footpaths, Then they will be digging up the road and resurfucing it .. making it wider basically, but messing around!
    They knocked down a wall, and are now putting that up again about 50cm's in ... what a waste of money!
    Hopefully whatever they are doing with the road is good, they have space for a dual carrage way similar 6to that out by parkway
