  • Submission to Metrolink Public Consultation
    SUBMISSION TO METROLINK PUBLIC CONSULTATION From: Eamon Ryan TD Dáil Éireann, Kildare Street, Dublin 2 Date: 8th May 2018 Suggested Route Map including stations Rathmines, Terenure, Rathfarnham INTRODUCTION I am writing as a public representative for Dublin Bay South in support of the Metrolink project. I regret that the project was not progressed earlier, having been identified as the first priority investment in the Platform for Change transport strategy, which was agreed far back in 2001. That strategy was based on a long term assessment of future travel needs. Unfortunately in the interim period it was decided to prioritise the widening of the M50 and upgrading of the road network leading to the city. This has led to the gridlock we now face, as the road network reaches full capacity and demand for travel expands in line with our growing economy. We need urgent investment in our public transport system if Dublin is to work as a city. Doing so will bring major social and environmental benefits as well as meeting our transport needs. The Metro was always designed to open up land banks on the North side of the City, to help tackle our housing crisis. For this reason alone we need you to meet your tight development time-lines. While I support the overall concept I am proposing three alterations to the plan, which I hope you will agree to before submitting a final design to An Bord Pleanála. The first is to use the opportunity and to tackle a public transport black-spot in the South West of city, by continuing the tunneling machine 4.5km after Charlemont Station to new stations in Rathmines, Terenure and Rathfarnham, rather than connecting to the Green Luas line.

  • Transit Service
    TRANSIT SERVICE Transit services in Glendale include the Beeline local transit system and the services provided by the MTA. These systems combine to provide frequent transit service on many key streets in downtown Glendale. Transit service is offered at least every 10 minutes on Brand, Central south of Broadway, San Fernando, 4 Glendale Boulevard, and Broadway. With service this frequent, riders do not need to carry a schedule, but can depend on the next bus arriving soon after they reach their bus stop. Figure 4-1 shows the existing transit services in the study area, including services provided by MTA and the City of Glendale. Despite this network of high frequency transit services, many residents in Glendale find transit services inadequate, or are unaware of the level of service actually provided. GLENDALE DOWNTOWN MOBILITY STUDY | 4-1 4.1 PRINCIPLES The key principles for improving transit service in Glendale include increasing awareness about the services that are avail- able, and marketing a complete system to riders who can choose whether an MTA or Beeline route serves them best. The Downtown Mobility Study recommends operating a new shuttle route which will be dedicated to downtown travel, and linking regional transit corridors with the commercial, entertainment and employment opportunities in the Glendale core. The shuttle route, which can begin service almost immediately using exist- ing resources, should ultimately be improved and expanded for a long term future that may include streetcar operations. Create and market a comprehensive system of coordinated re- gional and local transit that takes advantage of the relatively high level of service that already exists in Glendale, and emphasizes new linkages where needed.
