Finglas Area Roundabouts Upgrade – Non-Statutory Public Consultation
Background
Dublin City Council Environment and Transportation Department proposes the upgrade of the St. Margaret’s Road/McKee Avenue and Jamestown Road/Melville Road Roundabouts to improve facilities for pedestrians, cyclists and vulnerable road users through the installation of traffic signals, as well as improve traffic flow in the area.
These works are designed to complement the Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area 2016-2035 and the Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022.
The Project Objectives are to:
Proposed Scheme - St. Margaret’s Road Roundabout
The proposed works will include the complete redesign of the roundabout with provision of a new “protected” signal-controlled junction, which provides physical kerb build-outs to protect cyclists through the junction. The signal-controlled junction also provides improved facilities for pedestrians and vulnerable road users, with the provision of signalised crossings for pedestrians on all junction arms. Associated works include the realignment and upgrade of existing footpaths and repaving sections of the existing road surface, where necessary; and associated ancillary services including but not limited to public lighting, drainage, etc. The signal staging and design seeks to protect existing traffic flow capacity from the R135 exit in order not to impact on traffic flow in the area.
It is proposed to replace the roundabout junction and provide the following:
