Public Notice

RATHFARNHAM QUALITY BUS CORRIDOR ENHANCEMENTS

Pursuant to the requirements of the above, notice is hereby given of the proposal to provide the following scheme: Rathfarnham Quality Bus Corridor Enhancements along Grange Road and Rathfarnham Road.

This proposal is running in conjunction with the proposal for the Rathfarnham QBC Enhancements scheme in the Dublin City Council administrative area.

The Rathfarnham QBC Enhancements scheme forms part of the QBC Network linking bus routes from Grange Road and Nutgrove Avenue proceeding to Dublin City Centre.

The sections of bus lanes proposed are as follows:

Inbound

  • Provide shared bus/cycle lane by widening carriageway on Grange Road between its junctions with Beaufort Downs and Nutgrove Avenue.
  • Provide a right turning facility on Rathfarnham Road to enter the car park of Rathfarnham Castle.
  • Extend the existing bus lanes on the approach to Grange Road/Willbrook Road, Grange Road/Butterfield Avenue, Rathfarnham Road/Main Street and Rathfarnham Road/Dodder Park Road junctions.
  • Relocate the existing bus stop on Rathfarnham Road outside the Texaco Service Station to a position north of the Main Street junction.

Outbound

  • Extend the existing bus lane on Rathfarnham Road on the approach to the Butterfield Avenue junction.
  • New pavement extension and signalised crossing at the junction of Castleside Drive and Rathfarnham Road.

Provide a signalised pedestrian crossing south of the Brookvale junction.

The Scheme has the potential to provide considerable benefits for public transport users on the route as follows:

  • Improved bus journey times and reliability by reallocation of road space and road widening and providing Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI).
  • Improved facilities for cyclists, pedestrians and the mobility impaired and disabled.
  • Upgraded traffic signal control system.
  • Safety improvement measures.

Plans and particulars of the proposed scheme will be available for inspection or purchase at a fee not exceeding the reasonable cost of making a copy at:
