Deansgrange is a mess, but the Cemetary is already able to be cycled through, this would just have made it easier.
Waiting for them to get rid of the right turn to Clonkeen Road that is currently making the bus lane a disaster.
Councillor Dave Quinn (Social Democrats) said many people going to the cemetery visiting loved ones needed parking.
They're idiots.
This new proposal was voted and accepted by the councillors. What will inevitably happen is that people will park on the cycle lane as needed, even with the additional parking spaces inside the cemetery. Everyone's a winner, right?
Of course everyone's a winner, plus we have the bonus of roadworks for months to accommodate this work!
I presume it will be well segregated similar to Blackrock >>Sandycove. However I am sure you will get the odd person who manages to get into it and possibly even drive in it. Windsor motors won't like it. They have had free parking for years across the road from their showroom. The road also looks very narrow from the start of the cemetery at the Deansgrange end to the first gate near Blackrock Glass. I cant see how they can fit a 2 way cycle lane in there unless they remove the parking for the cottages opposite (unlikely) or make the footpath narrower (much more likely)
Between the associated roadworks, the width of the road and the volume of traffic, its going to get very congested.
They could help alleviate the bus lane problem by simply moving the bus stop back a few metres, away from the junction and putting it at the end of the bus lane. This way, buses letting passengers on/off would block the bus lane whilst also giving people in the correct lane a safe opportunity to filter past the stationary bus. I tested this before by parking an out-of-service bus at the end of the bus lane for a few minutes. Bad news for the cars directly behind the bus at the time (not sure why the felt entitled to blast their horns at a bus in a bus lane, but there you go), but great for everyone who was driving correctly.
There's a few things that would help there, but they seem to have gone with the option that makes life worst for everyone (cars, buses, cyclists).
Apologies if this has been mentioned before:
I was in DL during the week as I had a delivery. Someone told me that sometime in the not too distant future George’s Street will become traffic free. Is this true? And if so, how are the busses going to leave the terminus by the train station?
I already wonder how that Tesco centre opposite the hospital is doing?
No, its not true.
The Council have suggested that that is what they wish to do, but it hasn't been decided yet and another round of public consultation on the matter was due to take place, but hasn't so far.
I can tell you there is strong local resistance to the idea, particularly from some businesses and from the community older age and disability sector, as accessibility will be a very major concern especially in relation to the loss of bus service access to the heart of the town.
I posted this in motoring . This might be a better spot as posters are familiar with the junction
Does anyone know the law on who would be liable for a crash if someone crashed into you at the end of the bus lane on Kill Lane?
I don't drive in the bus lane and join the lane where I'm supposed to, if someone side swipes , who was in the bus lane, who would be responsible?
Some drivers get really annoyed when you join the lane going straight on and don't slow down.
It should really be the council for making the situation exist in the first place.
Reality is that it would be the person moving into the lane when unsafe to do so, I've tried both approaches, but the whole thing is annoying as we've family who use the bus which can't effectively use the bus lane, it either needs bollards put in place to properly segregate and/or get rid of the right turn and lane.
Yeah it's a mess.
If I'm in the correct lane and it's merging, should the cars in the bus lane not give way?
most People will allow cars to merge. 1 at a time.
The majority of motorists in Ireland have no idea what "merge in turn" means.
Thats for absolute sure.
Also known as the zip-merge, but that description too would blow the minds of many an Irish motorist who got their licence in a Christmas Cracker.
Has anyone been in touch with ISA Autos recently? Phone is ringing out and no response to email. Last post on their FB page is from the new year.

Yes
Rejoice and be glad, apparently Upper Glenageary Road is to be resurfaced in June along with the new cycle lanes of course.
Very long overdue, dangerous for bikes and cars alike at the moment.
great its a shambles at the moment
any idea if they are doing Sandycove Rd and Ave as well?
Since Irish water dug the place up the roads are awful and they have managed to create a nice long bumpy section where you would normally cycle.
No idea, I only got the info in a reply from Carrie Smith on a comment in f/book.
Passed that way earlier on, being Saturday it was closed, but a lad outside said it was business as usual with them!!
Thanks, much appreciated
Does anyone know when the works are planned to finish on Wyattville road?
Seems like they have been at it for well over a year now and its a big carpark all day as a result. Appreciate it will be better when done with cycle lanes etc however why is it taking sooooooooooooooo long to complete is beyond me.
Speaking of Glenageary Road, Lower this time, the idea of diverting the city bound 46a along same has been floated, and is being reviewed by Dublin Bus/TFİ. This as part of the pedestrianisation of George's Street Lower and according to the local residents association.
They did a great job by removing the filter lane on chuchview road and adding a load of grass 🤷
You have schools, tesco, the football, gaa and rugby clubs, so a busy enough road.
Traffic backed up from the lights to Johnstown School at certain times on a daily basis.
Tell me about it, the Churchview road is a disaster since they did that, I'm hoping its temporary (as in only for a year or however long they bloody take to eventually finish..). We are in walking distance of Tesco so only go there now to pick up bread and stuff, not worth sitting in the car. Do our shopping now in Lidl Shankill.
To be fair, the Council have said straight out that this is their plan.
But I wouldn't worry, local opposition to the idea of planting lower George's Street with wildflowers is so vociferous and so widespread, it won't come to that.
well Tesco Ballybrack is a disaster.
staff are useless, with automated check outs their one job is to fill the shelves to match the price tags below it. But they can’t get that out. You always need to check your receipts.
