Report to Transportation Strategic Policy Committee Dublin City Report to Transportation Strategic Policy Committee Dublin City Centre Cycle Count May 2016 Said Shawqi Executive Engineer, Environment and Transportation Department Dublin City Council June, 2017 1 Dublin City Centre Cycle Count – May 2016 As part of the 2007-2012 cycle action plan it was proposed to carry out a new city centre cycle count every May in order to measure changes in cycle usage within the city centre. These counts were to be carried out in addition to the annual canal cordon counts which are carried out in November each year. The differences between the two counts are as follows: The canal cordon count measures all inbound vehicles crossing the canal cordon between 7 am and 10 am averaged over two days in November. Each pedestrian /car / bicycle / bus / van is normally counted only once. The city centre cycle count measures the total number of cyclists travelling in any direction on either side of the bridges over the Liffey and other selected junctions in the city centre on one day in May (or June) from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. As part of the cycle action plan it was proposed to continue to conduct these annual city centre cycle counts. Twenty-six locations were originally selected between Heuston Station and the East Link Bridge and Parnell Street and St. Stephen’s Green. As new bridges were built these were included in the annual counts in recent years. The Samuel Beckett Bridge (27-28) was added in 2011 and the Rosie Hackett Bridge (61-62) in 2015. Numbers in brackets refer to the locations as shown on the attached location map. The 2016 count was carried out during the period May 11-31, from 7 am to 7 pm on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Table 1 show the results of the total number of cyclists counted at each location from 2011 to 2016 (previous five years) between 7 am and 7 pm. The results show continuous yearly growth in the number of cyclists, with a total number of 89092 cyclists in year 2016. 2 Table 1 - Total No. of Pedal Cycles 7.00 am to 7.00 pm Location of Count 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 1 Wolfe Tone Quay / Frank Sherwin Bridge 1159 1346 1889 1399 2182 2141 2 Frank Sherwin Bridge / Victoria Quay 785 1065 1372 1156 1842 1842 3 Ellis Quay / Watling St Bridge 871 1126 1197 1131 1712 1695 4 Usher’s Island / Watling St Bridge 718 836 1160 897 1401 1257 5 Blackhall Place / Ellis Quay 1390 1550 1656 1716 2545 2357 6 James Joyce Bridge / Usher’s Island 882 983 1236 1039 1676 1616 7 Queen Street / Arran Quay 1234 1583 1712 1706 2553 2844 8 Queen Street / Usher’s Quay 984 1188 1420 1215 1904 1742 9 Church Street / Inn’s Quay 1813 2332 2878 2465 3542 3894 10 Merchant’s Quay / Usher’s Quay /Church St 1493 1900 2120 1728 2460 2765 11 Inns Quay / Ormond Qy Upr / Chancery Place 1984 2121 2734 3133 3370 3516 12 Wood Quay / Merchant’s Qy / Winetavern St 1328 1671 2031 2235 2308 2549 13 Ormond Quay / Capel St / Grattan Bridge 2133 2645 3181 3892 3776 3894 14 Wellington Quay / Essex Quay 1799 2158 2439 2903 2908 3177 15 O’Connell St Lower / Eden Quay 2250 5371 4770 6885 5848 7353 16 D’Olier St / Aston Quay / Burgh Quay 3305 3985 4637 6581 5805 5286 17 Butt Bridge / Beresford Pl / Custom Hse Quay 1420 1400 2020 2990 2755 3981 18 Butt Bridge / Burgh Qy / Georges Qy / Tara St 1346 1362 1543 2377 2171 2577 19 Memorial Rd / Custom Hse Qy / George’s Qy 1733 2007 2599 4156 2928 4944 20 Moss St / City Quay / George’s Quay 589 1780 2036 3534 1938 3016 21 East Link Bridge / N.

  • 10 Worst Junctions in Dublin
    Dublin Cycling Campaign PO Box 10295 Dublin 6w [email protected] www.dublincycling.ie 2011- January 18th Dublin City Council Cycle Forum Re: Schedule of dangerous places for cyclists in Dublin. The cyclists’ view The Dublin Cycling Campaign recently asked its members and friends which parts of the Dublin street fabric they find could benefit from re-design. This report sets out the feedback received, under the following headings- 1. The Quays- including bridges and surrounding roads 2. North City centre 3. South City centre 4. North city outside canals 5. South city outside canals The ten junctions most cited in our survey are printed in red. Illustrations have been copied from Google Maps and other sources where possible. One constantly-recurring feature of the feedback is the fear and danger arising from multi-lane systems. 1 1. The Quays Grattan bridge, turning right onto Essex Quay, the bridge is one way and cars are pushing behind and you're not sure which side of the lane you should cycle: very dangerous! Talbot Memorial Bridge [1] Heading left on to city quay, you're directed off road on the corner, conflict with peds and lose priority when joining the road after the corner [2] Heading straight or heading right, the time delay on the toucan crossing can take ages even when there’s light traffic. 2 Ormond Quay junction with Jervis Street Presence & position of cycle lane encourages cars to turn left across cyclists and knock them over. Victoria Quay (just outside Guinness gate), turning right on to Frank Sherwin Bridge (to then turn left to go up to the Pheonix Park), cyclists need to go from the bus lane to the third of four lanes.

To młode mał- żeństwa z dwojgiem, trojgiem maleńkich pociech, także z niemowlętami, lecą na wakacje do dziadków w Polsce lub wracają od nich do nowej, przyjaznej im ojczyzny. Też jakby „przedmurza” srodze doświadczonego w historii przez protestanckich sąsiadów. W hotelach i restauracjach można porozumieć się w naszym języku, a w kościołach trafić na mszę dla rodaków. Wyprawa zorganizowana przez nestora krakowskich mo- stowców – profesora Kazimierza Flagę – wiodła na mosty, a że w programie przewidziano też kilka średniowiecznych zamków, to była nadzieja na zdjęcia prowadzących do nich mostów. Być może zwodzonych nad fosami. W większej ich liczbie ujawniłyby się jakieś podobieństwa… podstawy do uogólnień. Nic z tego. Przy zamkach nie było fos. Nawet suchych. Ani mostów… a jeśli nawet były dawniej, to dziś ustąpiły miejsca nasypom i wyasfaltowanym drogom dojaz- dowym. Lecz ponieważ drogi te wiodą dawnymi szlakami – przebiegają też po dawnych mostach sklepionych z ciosów kamiennych. Kamień, materiał miejscowy, łatwo dostępny, odporny, ponadczasowy, więc i mostów przetrwało niemało. W większości – podobne. Wystarczy kilka zdjęć (fot. 1). Kulminacją wyprawy były mosty w Dublinie. Mieszanka dawnych i współczesnych. Wśród nich dwa mosty Santiago Calatravy. Niewiele jest miast, gdzie ten słynny architekt i mostowiec postawił więcej niż jeden obiekt. Można przy- puszczać, że polubił to miasto…, wszak Dublin to koleb- ka piwa Guiness i whisky Jameson.

  • Luas Cross City Cycling Report October 2017
    Cycling and Luas Cross City Assessment of cycling feasibility on the Luas Cross City route 1 CONTENTS Introduction Current Situation Design guidance Options Development Methodology Quality of Service Assessment Recommendations for Cycling Part A: North-bound Assessment - Saint Stephen’s Green to Broadstone Part B: South-bound Assessment – Broadstone to Saint Stephen’s Green Summary of Recommendations October 2017 2 Introduction Luas Cross City (LCC) connects the northern end of the Luas Green Line at St. Stephen’s Green to Broombridge station in Cabra, intersecting with the Luas Red Line at O’Connell Street and Abbey Street. Between St. Stephen’s Green and Broadstone Station the route runs on-street. The alignment includes a number of streets that form part of the city centre cycle network (see below), with other cycle network routes crossing the LCC route at junctions. The Greater Dublin Area Cycle Network Plan (NTA, 2013) (GDACNP) is the primary reference document for the identification of higher volume cycle routes. However, the nature of urban cycling is such that all roads are likely to attract cyclists to some degree unless it is specifically precluded (one-way streets, pedestrian streets with no marked cycle facility, etc.). The GDACNP proposed the following cycle network for the city centre (Sheet N1a): 3 The written report for the proposed cycle network for Dublin City Centre includes the following commentary regarding Luas: 3.1.2 Dublin City Centre - Context for the Cycle Route Network In the city centre sector there is considerable competition for road space between the various modes of transport of bus, light rail, car, truck, bicycle and pedestrian.
