  • The Liffey Cycle Route
    To the Lord Mayor and Report No. 90/2020 Members of Dublin City Council Report of the Chief Executive _________________________________________________________________________ The Liffey Cycle Route _________________________________________________________________________ 1. Introduction This report has been prepared in response to representations from Members, requesting that the Liffey Cycle Route (LCR) be implemented on a trial basis. It discusses the feasibility and makes recommendations on an interim scheme that could be trialled. The interim scheme, if approved by Members would be implemented in phases and completed by August 2020. The provision of a dedicated cycle route along the Quays has been an objective in the Dublin City Council Development Plan (CDP) since the 2011-2017 CDP. It is an objective of the current CDP and since 2013 the Environment and Transportation Department (E&TD) has been attempting to put in place a dedicated cycle route along the Quays. The problem of space is a key element of the difficulties of this route as the Quays varies from a four lane road to sections which are barely two lane and has resulted in multiple options being unable to find approval. In March 2019, Dublin City Council (DCC) received the Emerging Preferred Option for the permanent design of the LCR from the National Transport Authority (NTA). The design was presented at a special meeting of the Transport SPC, held on April 3rd 2019 and approved by Members at the City Council Meeting in May 2019. This was a major milestone in the project as it now allowed a project team to be formed and stakeholder consultation to commence.

  • 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.

  • Amsterdam, Netherlands Overview Introduction
    Amsterdam, Netherlands Overview Introduction Tell anyone you're going to Amsterdam and there's a fair chance they'll either sigh with envy or give you a sly nod. Amsterdam's reputation for tolerance laced with sin precedes it, but equally renowned are its scenic and cultural attractions. Amsterdam hotels are known for their cleanliness and hospitality, its restaurants offer world cuisine, and along the city streets is a shopper's paradise. Most visitors fall in love with the city and return again and again. Amsterdam is nourished by a wealth of museums, concert halls, and avant-garde theater and dance venues. Its relaxed and tolerant attitudes draw those looking for a creative, anything-goes atmosphere. Large numbers of beautiful tree-lined canals are bordered by streets with rows of narrow, gabled houses and 17th-century warehouses, making Amsterdam an architectural treasure trove. Amsterdam is much smaller in population (but no less interesting) than many European capitals. As a result, much of the city center can be comfortably explored on foot—or, if you want to look like a true local, by bicycle. Highlights Sights—The Westerkerk (West Church) on the Prinsengracht and the spectacular view from its tower; gabled mansions on the 17th-century canal ring inside the Singelgracht; the Anne Frank Huis; the Red Light District; Amsterdam-Noord. Museums—Rembrandts at the Rijksmuseum; the Van Gogh Museum; the Stedelijk Museum. Memorable Meals—Smoked eel at Haesje Claes; french fries with mayonnaise or peanut-butter sauce from the rear end of the Albert Cuyp Markt; rijsttafel at Tempo Doeloe; salted or pickled herring from one of the fish stands along the canals; traditional Dutch fare at Moeders; international dishes from Food Hallen.

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.
