Public Notice
THE GREEN ROUTE QUALITY BUS CORRIDOR SCHEME – TAYLOR’S LANE AND GRANGE ROAD
Pursuant to the requirements of the above, notice is hereby given of the proposal to provide the following scheme: The Green Route Quality Bus Corridor – Taylor’s Lane and Grange Road.
The Green Route Quality Bus Corridor forms part of the Orbital Route between Tallaght and Sandyford area. The present scheme consists of approximately 730 m of bus lane in the eastbound direction and 945 m in the westbound direction, and is designed to be implemented in conjunction with the Green Route Road Realignment Scheme which is currently under construction. The sections of bus lane are proposed as follows:
- Eastbound
1. 410 m of bus lane on Taylor’s Lane between the new pedestrian crossing situated between Glendoher Drive and Pearse Brothers Park and the Taylor’s Lane/Grange Road Junction.
2. 320 m of bus lane on Grange Road between the “Eden Lounge” and Highfield Avenue.
· Westbound
1. 435 m of bus lane on Taylor’s Lane between Ballyboden Road junction and the new pedestrian crossing adjacent to Pearse Brothers Park
2. 510 m of bus lane on Grange Road between the Grange Road/Taylor’s Lane Junction and Highfield Avenue.
The Scheme has the potential to provide considerable benefits for public transport users on the route as follows:
- There are significant time savings for a large number of bus passengers.
- As the number of general traffic lanes remains unchanged, there is no significant impact on journey times for general traffic.
- There is no negative impact on cyclists.
- It will form part of a proposed orbital route between Tallaght and Sandyford Area.
Plans and particulars of the proposed development will be available for inspection at:
(a) South Dublin County Council Offices, County Hall, Tallaght, Dublin 24 between the hours of 9:00 am – 5.00pm Monday to Thursday and 9.00am - 4.30pm on Friday,
