Dublin 15 is going to get a lot more congested.

Phil.x

Man when will all this building in D15 stop.
Roads, rail, bus, amenities are at breaking point and in some cases broken.

looks like cycledub or the bike industry is in charge of the planning process in fingal.

judging by the maps. indicative bike routes everywhere.

That saturation of bike routes has little to do with Fingal. Cycle priority is now primary policy for the whole Country, especially urban areas. Expect to see a good many roads in Dublin city centre turned over to bike and PSV only after the Luas link up work is finished

Its a new one on me too, but it seems to follow the western boundary of the park pretty closely, it certainly wouldnt ruin it as an amenity, but that quiet area at the back of the water treatment plant over the river would be very much changed.

I think the concern is that there's a fair chunk of St Catherine's which is in Kildare and therefore not on that map.

Still unclear to me. I have seen the notices looking for support to objections, but there are benefits to a N3/N4 link road which means we could lose some of St.Catherine's to facilitate it, but I would want to see the full details.

Yes but they don't meet up, so rather pointless, like everything fingal do.

Looking at the map, the road reservation doesn't seem to lop much off St. Catherine's Park. Either the alignment has changed or I am missing something.

Indeed.

The road link from N4-N3 used to follow much the same route as the metro and was intended to connect the junction at Woodies Lucan to the Blanchardstown Road at the back of Power City, I dont know when that changed as an objective but it certainly didnt get as much publicity as it should have.

That said, the Littlepace - Ongar link road was left with plenty of reservation space for widening in future.

The Metro West, jaysus there's a blast from the past.

This site is adjacent to a train station and bus routes, there are already schools built, it's close to the country's biggest shopping centre and there are huge numbers of employers within easy reach, not to mention sports clubs, churches, whatever else you're looking for. I think you'd struggle to find a better spot for greenfield housing for 4,500 people.

I see the reservation for Metro West is preserved in that map.

From fingals website, 4500 people.

If utilities, transport and amenities are at breaking point, which they are, well then every extra house built is making it worse.

The planning system is like someone deciding they need to clog their most important arteries, a prime example is allowing LIDL and ALDI to open opposite each other on East Wall Road, one of the most important North/South routes through the city. A child playing Sim City wouldn't do it.

Yep, Hope Beer in Kilbarrack actually have a beer named after it and they explain how it got its name on their website here.

That is the Littlepace to Ongar link road.

The N3 - N4 link supposedly going trough the St Anne's park and local "residents" found out the politicians plans and did a massive protest.As a result,there is no plan B for the link until they will/may come with another envelope type planning.

St Catherines park ... Leixlip.

Right?
