Blackhall Place, Dublin 7- Proposed Extension of Bus Lane and Changes to Parking

Dublin City Council proposes to make changes to the road layout on Blackhall Place, Dublin 7. The changes involve the creation of a new section of bus lane and associated changes to the hours of operation of on-street parking.

The works involve minor realignment of the kerb on the east side on Blackhall Place and new signage and road markings.

Plans illustrating the proposed scheme will be on display from Monday 19^th July 2010 to Monday 30^th August 2010 at:-
