Dun Laoghaire Traffic & Commuting Chat

Where did I mention a cycle lane?

I said the junction radii have been tightened. Its not for cycle lanes, its for f**king tables and chairs and poxy planter beds, in the middle of a main road, such that the bloody public transport can no longer negotiate it safely.

Why don't you ring up Aircoach or Dublin Bus and ask them to speak to their drivers about how they drive. Better yet, go in person.

Here's the Council's own dwg of the design / vandalism.

Jesus you're as deliberately obtuse as Renko.

Enjoy your failing city, you deserve it.

If that's your best example maybe you could tone down the hyperbole. As others have pointed out it has nothing to do with any active travel scheme.

I highly recommend use of the ignore feature!

Don't mention the war. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.

Living Streets ?

More like dying streets.

If you need it explaining to you like a child, Ted, fine.

I posted a screenshot. It was a screenshot from a popular local community Facebook group.

The person who made the post was demonstrating the congestion and delays caused specifically to buses and longer commercial vehicles by the current works at York Road / Clarence St junction. Works that are part of the so-called Living Streets scheme.

The facebook poster claimed, mistakenly, that the works are to do with the installation of cycle lanes at that location. The works are NOT to do with cycle lanes, they are for footpath widening, junction tightening and the installation of planted verges and other street furniture, as per the Council's drawing I posted.

Why the poster was mistaken about it being for cycle lanes, I do not know. Perhaps they aren't as knowledgeable as you or me or others here about what is happening locally, but as I don't know them, have not spoken to them, and am not psychic, that must remain forever a mystery.

However, the substantive point, from which you are doing your best to deflect, for what I can only assume are zealous ideological reason, is that there ARE works at that location, they ARE the cause of the roadway and junction being tightened, and that IS, in turn, the cause of buses and long vehicles having difficulty negotiating this main route and important junction.

Now, you can stick your head in the sand as much as you want, Ted, as to the local and regional social and economic damage these various schemes are doing, but when you do eventually emerge and squint in the sunlight at the dereliction and decay, do not say you weren't warned.

As I say, the social fabric of this city is coming apart, not only for this reason, but this idealogy from our unelected officials is chief among them. And you deserve it.

As for me, I'll have sold my house, taken the profit, and be living comfortably on the copper coast of Waterford coast by 2030. I can only shrug and say I tried.

you are been called out for propagating a false narrative.
you keep referring tithe poster making a mistaken and being wrong. Yet you reposted this, why would you repost it , known it to be false ?
