Fingal planning ref: FW20A/0180 A four storey apartment block also planned next to the Applegreen petrol station in Clonsilla was granted by Fingal council but now appealed by local residents to An Bord Pleanala.

Either way, it'll be less hassle improving your driving skills on how to manage corners than selling a house because a corner is currently too difficult for you. Seriously, drama much? A land grab?! It's protecting space on a public road for cyclists. You've no ownership of it, or rights over anyone else to it. The councils are not where the zealotry is coming from. Not using public transport does not equate to using your car. And if you fail to see the need for such measures, you're oblivious to what it's like to cycle. You don't see the irony in complaining that there may be an increase in traffic so there shouldn't be better facilities to cater for cyclists? What's not rocket science is people still believing that they themselves are not traffic, it's other people that are causing the problems. The less cars on the road, the less congestion. That's not rocket science. Hey, it's too dangerous to let our kids walk or cycle to school with all this traffic, they should make it safer. Hey, look at dis, dey're annexing the road off us, get onto Facebuke and kick up a fuss, how are we supposed to drive our kids to school and figure out how to turn corners. Tis a disgrace Joe Kenny.

I don't know what your last paragraph is referring to; some kind of derogatory rant aimed at people engaging with a fairly inoffensive radio programme. Demonstrates that you are similar to some (not all) cyclists, in that you proceed to shout down other posters that dare to express a contrary view on planning issues that may impact on their lives. We are all entitled to our views you know. If I want to write to my local councillor and demand that clamping is banned in Dublin 15 in the morning, I can submit such a demand, the measure may not be implemented but I am entitled to my views and a response. Hypothetically, if the vast majority of residents in an area submit a petition and demand that cycle lanes are removed, the proposal is supposed to be properly considered. That is local democracy, and democracy requires that we are tolerant and respectful to alternative views.

I'll give you a few pointers if you like, wouldn't want you to sell house after house every time a council puts one near you.
