Navan Road Community Council are inviting residents to attend a public meeting to discuss Phase Two of the BusConnects Scheme.

The Second Phase of the BusConnects Scheme for the Blanchardstown to City Routes is currently open for comment/submission. This second stage deals with changes and additions to bus lanes and cycle lanes. It also deals with the impact on roads, footpaths and private property.

The meeting will take place on Tuesday 19th February 2019 at 8.30pm in the 50p Room in the Parish Centre at the rear of Our Lady Help of Christians Church.

The Community Council will be sending in a submission and would encourage as many of you as possible to do the same.

If you wish to make your views known you can do so by email at cbc@busconnects.ie, by online submission on the BusConnects website or by post to NTA, Dún Scéine, Harcourt Lane, D02WT20.

Closing date for submissions is Friday 1st March 2019.

 

The proposal to increase bus frequency and quality, improving and adding to the cycling and pedestrian infrastructure is welcome.

As you may be aware the second (infrastructure) phase of the proposed BusConnects Plan, which includes the corridor from Blanchardstown via Navan Road to the City, is currently out for consultation.

This phase deals with the physical changes that are proposed to facilitate the necessary bus corridors and cycle lanes such as removal of trees, parts of some front gardens and parts of footpaths.

Navan Road Community Council sent a detailed submission on Phase One of the Scheme which dealt with the changes to bus routes and numbers.

The Community Council intends to make a submission on the current phase and would like to invite residents of the Navan Road Area to participate by contacting us on navanroad.com or by email at navanroadcc@gmail.com with any comments or concerns you may have about this phase which we will take into account when making our submission.

We would encourage as many of you as possible to send in your own submission/comments by email to cbc@busconnects.ie, by online submission or by post to NTA, Dun Sceine, Harcourt Lane, D02WT20.

Deadline for submissions has been extended to Friday 1st March, 2019.
