PL29.nha 0022 Marlborough Street Public Transport Priority Bridge Proposed under Section 51 of the Roads Act (as amended) Bridge length 65 metres and width 26 metres. Bridge to provide for 2 no southbound bus lanes and one southbound LUAS line. Chosen construction type is single span reinforced concrete with low depth to length ratio. I was requested to prepare a report on the traffic and drainage issues arising from the proposed Development At the Oral Hearing the issues of traffic and drainage were raised with the Applicants and OPW, Dublin Bus and RPA representatives were also present to clarify the positions of their organisations . DRAINAGE / FLOODING The proposed bridge is a single span concrete structure with abutments which encroach into the river Liffey. It was explained that the presence of a large sewer siphon arrangement dictated the location of abutments. Mr Tim Joyce on behalf of the Office of Public Works indicated that the OPW was satisfied with the approach being taken. It was clarified that given the concerns for potential flooding great care would be taken with the Section 50 (Arterial Drainage Act 1945) application being made by Dublin City Council in respect of the bridge. The proposal to provide Dutch dams or a folding mechanism to be brought into operation in times of exceptionally high flows or tides is noted as is the City Council’s experience of operating these mechanisms. It is considered that the proposal has been subject to the correct design approach including consultation with OPW . It would not appear necessary to recommend a condition in relation to hydrological implications of the proposed development as the PL29NHA0022 Appendices An Bord Pleanála Page 2 of 35 current Section 50 Application would be deemed to cover requirements for flood protection. TRAFFIC The evidence at the hearing clarified the EIS and explained the operation and management of the bridge as a public transport link. EXISTING TRAFFIC NETWORK The road network for the immediate area comprises: Eden Quay on the north side of the river which has general traffic and a bus lane running west-east from O Connell Street. A contraflow bus lane runs east- west from Butt bridge to O Connell street and there are a number of bus terminii on the lane adjacent to the quay wall. Marlborough street joins Eden Quay at the proposed bridge location and takes general traffic and generally caters for local type journeys Burgh Quay on the south side of the river is east-west and includes a bus lane. The traffic flows can reach levels where saturation occurs between Butt bridge and O Connell street Hawkins Street joins Burgh Quay at the location of the proposed bridge and takes bus traffic and local traffic. The applicant did not include traffic flow volumes in the EIS and did not provide information on existing flows at the hearing. This would have helped clarify the assessment but as new infrastructure is under construction it allows an assessment based on the comparative conditions to be made on the proposal. IMPACTS AND ASSESSMENT From questions asked of Mr O Brien of the City Council the traffic control measures were outlined and the impacts would clearly be positive for a number of existing bus routes. Mr O Leary of Dublin Bus noted the potential for new network opportunities. PL29NHA0022 Appendices An Bord Pleanála Page 3 of 35 The potential negative impacts would be on general traffic on the north and aouth quays. Mr O Brien indicated that the proximity of both Butt Bridge at 140 m west and O Connell St Bridge at 100 m east, made linking of traffic signals somewhat problematical. However, the overall relief arising from the opening of the Samuel Beckett Bridge and the options available to the City Council in relation to limitations in traffic types would appear to indicate that any negative impacts are capable of significant mitigation. It is considered therefore that the proposal would be acceptable from a traffic viewpoint and no particular conditions would appear necessary. However it may be considered desirable that a liaison committee would be useful prior to and during construction and this could comprise the City Council and representation from RPA, Dublin Bus and OPW, taxi and city centre business interests. ______________ Daniel O Connor Engineer Gd I 8 July 2009. PL29NHA0022 Appendices An Bord Pleanála Page 4 of 35 Appendix 3 Environmental Impact Statement, Marlborough St Bridge, January 2009 Volume 1 is the main report and includes a non-technical summary which is also presented as a separate Volume. Volume 2 is a book of maps. Volume 1 comprises 15 chapters in two parts, each part preceded by a non technical summary: chapters are set out under the following headings: Non Technical Summary Part 1 Background Information and General Description Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Background to the Proposed Development Chapter 3 Description of the Proposed Development Chapter 4 Alternatives Considered Chapter 5 Traffic and Transportation Part 2 Environmental Effects and Proposed Ameliorative Measures Chapter 6 Human Beings Chapter 7 The Natural Environment Chapter 8 Landscape and Visual Analysis Chapter 9 Material Assets Chapter 10 Architectural, Archaeological and Cultural Heritage Chapter 11 Architectural Heritage Chapter 12 Construction Phase Chapter 13 Interrelationships Chapter 14 Mitigation Measures Non-technical summary Description of the Quays at Marlborough Street/Hawkins Street Eden Quay carries two eastbound traffic lanes and a westbound bus lane in the vicinity of the proposed bridge location. An eastbound cycle lane is also provided PL29NHA0022 Appendices An Bord Pleanála Page 5 of 35 north of the eastbound traffic lanes. Pedestrian crossing facilities are provided crossing Eden Quay to the west of the Eden Quay / Marlborough Street Junction. Burgh Quay carries two westbound traffic lanes and a westbound bus lane in the vicinity of the proposed bridge location. These two traffic lanes branch out to become three lanes just west of the proposed bridge site. On Burgh Quay, a westbound cycle lane is also provided, south of the westbound bus lane. Pedestrian crossing facilities are provided for crossing Hawkins Street at the Burgh Quay / Hawkins Street Junction. Significant Environmental Effects and Proposed Ameliorative Measures Under the headings: human beings, the natural environment, landscape and visual analysis, material assets, architectural, archaeological and cultural heritage, architectural heritage and construction phase, the issues which are dealt with later in the report are summarised. The paragraph, mitigation, lists the mitigation measures proposed. Mitigation Measures The principle mitigation measures proposed in the scheme are as follows: A traffic management will be prepared by the contractor and agreed with the planning authority. Hours of construction will be agreed with the planning authority to avoid later night or early morning working. Noise mitigation measures will be put in place during relevant activities. Wheel washing facilities will be put in place on site to ensure that the public road is not adversely affected by deposits from truck tyres. It is recommended that lighting ensures that the bridge is visible to birds at night. However, lights should be imbedded in the bridge structure rather than on poles which could present a potential hazard to flying birds in daylight and at night. A dust minimisation plan will be formulated for the construction phase of the project, as construction activities are likely to generate some dust emissions. A pedestrian/cyclist facility will be maintained on both quays at all times during the construction phase. In areas where disturbance of the river bed or quay is necessary as part of the construction of the proposed development, an archaeological impact assessment based on an underwater dive survey, a low tide visual survey and a metal detection survey should be carried out by a suitably qualified underwater archaeologist licensed by the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government. An underwater archaeological assessment and metal detection survey are currently being undertaken. The results of the underwater archaeological assessment will be reviewed and any recommended mitigation measures will be carried out. In areas where removal of sections of quay wall is necessary an architectural survey should be undertaken prior to the removal of any material. The survey should be overseen by a suitably qualified archaeologist or architect.

  • 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.

Wiecznie wilgotna i ciepła za przyczyną Atlantyku i Golfsztromu, zapewnia znakomite warunki we- getacji. Nie tylko roślin. W samolocie tanich linii angielskich z Polski do Belfastu i podczas podniebnego powrotu sły- chać szczebiot kilkuletnich dzieci po polsku. 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.

  • (Inter)National Naming: Heritage, Conflict and Diaspora
    (Inter)national Naming: Heritage, Conflict and Diaspora Yvonne Whelan1 School of Geographical Sciences, University of Bristol Bristol, BS8 1SS, United Kingdom [email protected] In May 2009 a new bridge was slowly maneuvered into place in the center of Dublin, Ireland’s capital city. The latest addition to the succession of bridges that span the river Liffey, it is known as the Samuel Beckett Bridge in honour of the Nobel Prize-winning Irish author and dramatist. When opened in 2009, this new bridge joined the James Joyce Bridge and the Sean O’Casey Bridge, unveiled in 2003 and 2005 respectively, and so-named to commemorate two more of Ireland’s most famous literary figures. The attachment of this literary triumvirate to three of Dublin’s most recent, large-scale infrastructural developments stands in sharp contrast to the names that were in vogue in the decades that followed the achievement of Irish political independence in 1922. It is also richly suggestive of a new trend at work in the practice of place naming, one that compels us to interrogate more closely the links between the contemporary commodification of the past and its representation in street and place names. In the heady days of the post-independence period, local authorities used nomenclature to inscribe a specific version of Irish national identity into the landscape. In a process that has been mirrored in countless post-revolutionary contexts, a series of symbolic acts of reclamation were set in train. New streets were named, and existing thoroughfares renamed, many of them in honour of Irish revolutionaries and political figures.
