Re: Re: Before the Bulldozers: Images of a Doomed Suburb

You’re now comparing a suburban distributor road with a plan to bulldoze parts of inner city Dublin for the introduction of multi-lane highways…

Regarding your comment about cul-de-sacs, such dead ends do not aid permeability, they hinder it, and as a result traffic gets focused on a few distributor roads. your point about expanded road space filling demand is valid but beside the point.

The reason stradbrook road is a choke point is because it’s a radial into the city. people coming from dun laoghaire area have to get on to a congested radial to go towards stillorgan, better to just provide a more direct route as the council are doing.

I suspect you’ve a vendetta against motorised traffic.
