If that was true, then it would have been implemented already; the same way that 80->60 was earlier this year
Please join us at 10:30 outside the Dail this morning to demand safer Urban road speeds

The blatant denialism around the work already completed for the Herbert road junction is beyond frustrating
The N11/M11 bill is over €3m on design & consultation so far

We’re expecting the Liffey Valley BusConnects contract to be signed today, but they seem to be pushing forward with a design that does not have planning permission
The new layout is dangerous, has less bus priority & makes a complete mockery of the planning process

We’ve read the NDP Review and we’re amazed how a document whose sole function is to lay out funding commitments, can be so non-committal about what it’s funding
€24.33b in funding for transport & only €2b is explained
No mention of Dart+, Luas, or BusConnects 🤷

Similar to Option 3 - Option 4 also has a service road which extends along the various access points but requires the junction 7 overpass to be redesigned & rebuilt
4 would give access to Herbert Road, but is very disruptive & expensive to build & could temporarily close the N11

Option 3 creates a parallel service road after the fassaroe exit for the residents
It does make the bus less efficient but was progressed for further assessment and is closest to the preferred design

Options 2 & 2a aimed to introduce a new slip road, giving access to the residents that would have lost them in Option 1
2A also had a bridge to Herbert road from the Enniskerry road, but was deemed not feasible for road alignment and geometry reasons
