regarding the picture of the state that Broadstone station is in, I am thoroughly shocked and appauled
Yes there have been some minor improvements like the new enterence to the park. However the more expensive parts of the plan such as new paving and bus bays seem to have gone the way of the Millenium Clock. I always thought it was horrible for the buses to stop on front of those Georgian Buildings. I’d rather if they stopped on a central median/traffic Island similar to the inbound Abbey Street luas stop
Great to hear IÉ taking somw initiative for a change. I really hope they introduce Double tracking between Ceannt and Athenry. A single track wouldn’t have a hope in hell of accomidating Commuter services to Athenry and intercity services to Dublin and Limerick
Is this badly needed project going ahead or is it chopped due to the resession? does anyone have any info?
Is this redevolpement going ahead. This thread is 3 years old and all we have is a new canopy over the rotunda’s main enterence. No trees no reduction in parking no granite paving no improved bus bays
Luas line F terminating at college green and possibly being extended to the South Docks is only one of two options. The other option is having it terminate at Stephen’s green.Busses parking in the City Center is awful. Parnell Square is used as a bus station as it is, when they should be expected to to park at Sumerhill depot. Also having all those bus stop and masses of people waiting at them on a narrow foot path onfront of historic Georgian houses across from the Rotunda looks diabollical. I find the more I look at it, the more embaressed I am in fear that there is a tourist seeing the same thing.
builders get three months holidays now? I always thought that was a privilage reserved for teachers and TD’s

It is encouraging to see that the O’Connell Street stop will only be 50-100m from the Abbey St Luas stop.
50-100m? try 10-20m
well I always thought the luas should be seperated entirely from road traffic and should have right of way at road junctions. having line F terminate on Dame Street is a mistake it would be better if it continued down College street and connected with both Dart lines at Pearse and possibly continue into the south docks.
Missaarchi, what do you have against crayons?It looks really great and the integrating with the city PDF file shows the first proposed route for luas line D that I’ve ever seen, No thanks to the RPA. I live in the area and I’ll be happy to see this being developed. Does anyone know what time frame we’re looking at?
well would you prefere there were no buses? and I know that it’s obvious they intend to give permission I just said it that way to placate the nay sayers on this site
perhaps an indication that DCC intends to grant permission to Carlton redevelopment

I didn’t mean any offence, I just ment to express my opinion that public transport is important to the area and it sould be maintained and it would incentivise people to use public transport if it could go to places that the private car can’t
the railings around the old underground toilet at that junction are really lovely. I think that’d be a wonderful location for an enterence to the O’Connell Bridge metro station. It reminds me of the Parisian metro stations. I’m all for pedestrianisation but I still think there should be a bus lane or two and a reserved space for the luas
I notice how in the picture of one of the undergroung stations, the sign said exit in Engish only. some of the pictures above the Irish section appear to be of metro west on an elevated structure

There’s not a lot of laughs in that planner’s report on the Carlton site.

You mean it might not go ahead?:mad: for fck sake it’s been vacant most of my life and when a good proposal comes along people poke holes in it
