Dublin Bus Network Review – new bus stops and turning circles needed.

Following the Network review Dublin Bus intends to extend or alter several routes, however, there is one problem they don’t have bus stops or turning circles in place.  I proposed that we meet with Officials from Dublin Bus within the next month to discuss this issue with them and find out how they intend to fund the changes needed. 

The routes in question are the Leixlip 66 which will now pass Intel and travel down Easton and Accommodation Roads,  however the road conditions will not allow a bus take a left turn on to Accommodation Road and there are ramps there that are unsuited for buses.  The residents there have not been consulted about the change. 
 
The 67 is intended to terminate in Maynooth via Celbridge and travel to Moyglare Road again there is ramps that are not bus friendly and there is no turning circle.  The Maynooth 66 will encounter similar turning circle problems at Beaufield.   While many of the changes are very welcome the lack of planning for the physical changes is astonishing.
