Development of road safety scheme for Drumcondra South

 

Dublin City Council (DCC) has undertaken a traffic study of the Wider Area Traffic Cell Analysis of Walsh Road, Ferguson Road, Millmount Avenue, Drumcondra in association with Traffic Engineering Consultants AECOM.
The aim of this study is to develop a road safety improvement scheme for Drumcondra South that will reduce the impact of traffic in the area.
DCC would like to thank local community for their input in completing the questionnaire ‘Walsh Road and Environs Traffic Study’. The information collected was analysed by the Traffic Engineering Consultants and used in conjunction with traffic surveys, parking surveys, and speed surveys to form the basis of the Wider Area Traffic Cell Analysis of Walsh Road, Ferguson Road, Millmount Avenue Drumcondra Options Report. The different options have been appraised in conjunction with the existing layout against the scheme objectives as well as the appraisal criteria identified within the Department of Transport Common Appraisal Framework.
Details of the proposed measures may be inspected at Drumcondra Library, Millmount Avenue, Dublin 9 from Tuesday 5th July 2016 – Tuesday 19th July 2016.
There will be an Open Day in the Drumcondra Library on Tuesday 19th July between 4:30pm and 7:30pm where DCC Staff of Environment and Transportation Department and the Traffic Consultants can talk informatively about all the options available to the public.

Ellis welcomes the announcement of investment into Dominick St.

Sinn Féin TD Dessie Ellis has welcomed the Minister Simon Coveney’s announcement of an allocation of funding of €22 million to be provided for the development of Dominick St.
Deputy Ellis said:
“When developed, the new apartments will facilitate the re-housing of 50 households from the existing west side blocks into the newly built, high quality homes. The new development will also create 22 new homes for people on the Council’s housing list. The Department will be providing €21.615m for the residential element and €540,000 towards community facilities as part of the development.
“This is a very welcome development especially for those who have been waiting for years for the regeneration of the north inner city complex. However, for this to be a success full community, consultation needs to be undertaken from the outset.”
