Most of the big dual-carriageways in the city could support a tram line, this is great news
„Eastern Bypass“
refers to the corridor of land that has been set aside for 60 years to complete the M50 ring road through Sandyford, Goatstown, UCD, then into a tunnel under Sandymount across to link up with the Dublin Port Tunnel.
In other news 2000 objections to new route lodged
Got excited that Blessington might have a tram again.
If our government had any sense of urgency at all they’d tell the civil service to just go and implement this and stop fucking around.
Is this the level of ambition? This is the opposite of high speed rail. Imagine how long it would take for the Luas to get to Wicklow. It takes a ridiculous length of time to get from the Red Cow into town
I thought wicklow town for a second , that would be a long time in a Luas
love this! keep on keeping on
Why wouldn’t it go further down N11 all the way to bray? Why would it cut over UCD to join the existing green luas.
Looks like it’s harder to build it in the city centre than further down south.
Fill the city with Luas, from someone that takes it daily its incredible
Its the numpties who never use it that complain about it….
I lived in Netherlandsfor years and similar services to Luas are great, we should have them in every city
UCD is the larget college in the country, it is also very important for some courses (like Ag Science, Veterinary Studies) that are especially relevant for students from rural Ireland. It is an egregious oversight for many years running that the obvious usage win that would come from extending the Luas to the main campus has for literally decades been completely ignored.
My sole criticism of this plan is, is a Luas enough from a forward looking perspective? As far as I know both lines are already completely oversubscribed. I think we need to be moving to higher capacity public transport on these clear, and select lines where Luas capacity has frankly already shown itself to be insufficient.
