The Green Route QBC - Old Bawn Road
The Quality Bus Network Project Office in partnership with South Dublin County Council has prepared a preliminary design to introduce bus lanes on a section of the Green Route QBC on Old Bawn Road between Firhouse Road and the N81. The scheme will provide the maximum bus priority along the route and will involve widening of Old Bawn Road. It will be necessary to remove a number of trees along the route. Some of these will be replaced with semi-mature trees at Dodder Valley Park while some will be replaced with young trees at the same position. The scheme will also provide improved cycle facilities, improved safety measures and the upgrading of pedestrian crossing facilities.
