Public Notice
EMBANKMENT ROAD
QUALITY BUS CORRIDOR SCHEME
Pursuant to the requirements of the above, notice is hereby given of the proposal to provide the following scheme: Embankment Road Quality Bus Corridor Belgard Road junction to Cookstown Road junction.
The Greenhills Road Quality Bus Corridor forms part of the QBC Network that will link to and provide interchange possibilities with both the existing orbital QBC at Cookstown Road and the proposed south city orbital QBC linking Tallaght with Blackrock. The scheme consists of approximately 1160 m of QBC in the eastbound direction (to city centre) and 945 m of QBC in the westbound direction (to Tallaght). These bus lanes will be implemented as part of the Embankment Road Extension Scheme (Belgard Road to Outer Ring Road Phase 3) which is currently being designed. The sections of bus lane are proposed as follows:
- Eastbound: 1160 m of bus lane from a point 215 m west of Cookstown Road junction to Belgard Road junction.
- Westbound: 945 m of bus lane between Belgard Road junction and Cookstown Road junction.
The Scheme has the potential to provide considerable benefits for public transport users on the route as follows:
- There will be significant time savings for a large number of bus passengers.
- As the number of general traffic lanes remains unchanged, there will be no significant impact on journey times for general traffic.
- There will be no negative impact on cyclists.
- It will link to and provide interchange possibilities with both the existing orbital QBC at Cookstown Road and the proposed south city orbital QBC linking Tallaght with Blackrock.
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,
(b) County Library, County Hall, Tallaght, Dublin 24 between the hours of 9.45am-8.00pm Monday to Thursday and 9.45am - 4.30pm Friday and Saturday,
From Tuesday 15th May 2007 until Wednesday 13th June 2007.
Written submissions or observations with respect to the proposed development, dealing with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area in which the development would be situated, may be made in writing before 4.30 p.m. on Wednesday 27th June 2007 to: -
