That, notwithstanding the comments of the DEC&LG Ref 0183, The NRA and TII, the objective as set out in Table 6.5 Six Year Plan and Table 6.6 Medium to Long Term Plan to provide Junction 8 on the M50 at Cloverhill shall remain part of the 2016 – 2022 Development Plan. While it is noted that the management of the M50 is the remit of TII its location, operation and service profoundly impact on SDCC local communities. The Draft Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area 2016-2035 notes that ‘traffic levels on the M50 have continued to grow, even during the economic downturn, and delays on this corridor are now a common feature, despite a near-doubling of its capacity in recent years’. The Transport Strategy also states that ‘other than on the southern section of the route, further capacity enhancements to the M50 are neither physically possible nor environmentally desirable’. This reality is readily accepted. However, the restoration of J8 will not increase traffic on the M50 but rather provide a more readily accessible route for (especially Commercial Traffic for) Clondalkin (including Clonburris when developed), Park West/Cherry Orchard (proposed as a new Town by DCC) and the Liffey Valley Major Retail Centre as well as for the Cloverhill and Wheatfield Prisons and Courthouses. If anything, it will release other pressure points and will certainly help move local communities closer to desirable EU norms in terms of health and safety.

That, notwithstanding the comments of the DEC&LG Ref 0183, The NRA and TII, the objective as set out in Table 6.5 Six Year Plan and Table 6.6 Medium to Long Term Plan to provide a segregated junction at Kennelsfort/R148 shall remain part of the 2016 – 2022 Development Plan and is noted It is also noted that concerns have been raised that the proposed upgrade would not be in accordance with established policy. Section 5.8.3 - Principles of Road Development of the Draft Transport Stagey for the Greater Dublin Region states that: ‘That there will be no significant increase in road capacity for private vehicles on radial roads inside the M50 motorway’. This is not the purpose of the proposed segregated junction; safety for pedestrians and cyclists, reduction of air and noise pollution, the integrity of the community as well as the free movement of Buses, Public Transport and Commercial Vehicles are the real issues.
It is accepted that this has been a long standing approach from the NTA, as further noted in Section 3.2.6 of the Road Network Draft Transport Strategy: ‘Since the mid-1990s, transport policy in the GDA has been directed towards reducing the growth in car travel and increasing the use of public transport, cycling and walking. The Section 5.8.2 Regional and Local Roads of the Draft Transport Strategy states: ‘Address localised traffic delay locations, including on radial routes inside the M50 C-Ring, in cases where the primary reason for intervention is to address safety or public transport issues at such locations’
It is accepted that the provision of a segregated junction, or flyover, at this location is a substantial financial commitment. A project of this scale could not be funded by SDCC alone and the support of the NTA would also be crucial should funding from a national agency be sought. As such a strong case for such funding must be made early in the lifetime of the 2016-2022 CDP, supported by a feasibility study and strong cost/benefit analysis that shows a substantial improvement in the level of service afforded to sustainable users, whilst not increasing the capacity of the street network for private cars.

That, notwithstanding the comments of the DEC&LG Ref 0183, The NRA and TII, and given that traffic wishing to get to and from the N4 from Esker Communities should be facilitated to do so in the safest manner possible, the objective as set out in Table 6.5 Six Year Plan and Table 6.6 Medium to Long Term Plan to open up a “left-in, left-out” from the N4 at Esker Lane shall remain part of the 2016 – 2022 Development Plan.
