Ballycullen traffic issues

Re: Ballycullen to Baggot street area journey

Thanks for the update Kiddo.

I have yet to hear anything from either Mr Hannon or Ms Jones in relation to the points I raised concerning long-term planning that was put in place when Hunterswood/Woodstown was conceived. I'll give it another few days before I send a follow up email.

UPDATE: Murphy's law. Just received an email from Mr Hannon. Will update again later...
 
Mr Hannon has been good enough to get back to me in two emails. One is the same as Kiddo just posted. The second is below.

"Thanks for your recent email.

I agree that the bus service is inadequate (though Dublin Bus would argue
that it is much improved!!)and am writing to them again in an effort to get
them to upgrade.

I am very aware of the traffic issue and have organised meetings recently in
relation to same between Woodstown Res Assoc and the Roads & Traffic Dept
SDCC..I will send you on a separate email re this. I have also consistently
put the view that the most effective short-term solution is a Garda presence
at peak times and this appears to have made a positive impact.

The overall planning of the area is governed by the Ballycullen/Oldcourt
Action Area Plan, and I will arrange to have a copy of same sent to you.
This shows proposed local centres etc, and when you have had a chance to
look at it, maybe you can come back to me.

Regards

John"


I'm interested in reading the Action Plan to see how detailed it is and hopefully local TD pressure can do something about the bus service but time will tell.

Again, just to reitterate, anyone interested in the bus service or traffic problem, the more we ask our TD's about these issues the more likely that we'll see real long-term solutions.
