Also a #joyful vision of what our street could be
🕊️ bird song not hooting
👧 children playing not motorist road rage
🧁neighbours sharing food not getting abused

And all the health & wellbeing benefits that layer on top!

The @gardai.bsky.social were fantastic. Lots of coverage that we hope raises awareness of our daily lived experiences (& action - @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social 🤔).

Out this morning with the folks from Richmond Road - we’re looking for a way to make the street safe for the residents who are hemmed in by dangerous, out-of-control vehicle traffic.

It's a bit jarring to see how little has changed in terms of public realm and traffic for Richmond Road in the last 20 years (and longer).

In fact, the 2007 Richmond Road Area Action Plan has the following line "Richmond Road remains a 'rural' type road with little change since its inception".
Richmond Road Area Action Plan 2007 The road is a heavily trafficked route, functioning as a link road between the N1 at Drumcondra Road and the Port/East
Link/N11. Richmond Road remains a 'rural' type road with little change
since its inception. The characteristics of the road are:
•
•
•
• The volume and speed of traffic has significant
adverse impacts on the local environment. Pavement widths are severely constricted in some
stretches, particularly so between Nos. 112 and 130. Vehicles mount the pavement in some stretches causing damage to kerbs and pavements, and a hazard for pedestrians. Between Convent Avenue and Grace Park Road, the carriageway is between 5
to 6 metres wide. Pavements at setback frontages are used for parking, for example, at Tolka Park Stadium, Richmond Builder's Providers and Leydon's Cash and Carry. The loading of heavy vehicles on these
pavements is extremely hazardous for pedestrians. There is just one signalised pedestrian crossing
near the Grace Park Road junction. Map of traffic pinch points 7.4 Traffic, Movement and Linkage Overall the aim is to achieve a better balance between
vehicular, pedestrian and cycle movements within the area.
The objectives are to:
(a) To provide additional linkages throughout the area by providing public access routes from the existing roads to the redevelopment and within the site to facilitate
the movement of pedestrians and cyclists.
(b)
(c) To improve/facilitate vehicular access to the institutional lands and development sites on and in the
vicinity of Richmond Road. To establish a coherent road and footpath alignment along Richmond Road between the junction with Grace Park Road and Philipsburgh Avenue, while having regard to the significance of the historical alignment of the road, by upgrading the road and, where feasible, to achieve a minimum width of a 7.5 metres carriageway with advisory cycle lanes an
pavements on either side.
