The benefits of this project are substantial, and will be transformative for the area. In addition to providing segregated cycling facilities, priority bus lanes, and improvements in pedestrian safety, the Clontarf to City Centre Project includes significant footpath improvement works. All pavements along the route will be reconstructed, eight new community plazas will be created, and new tree planting and soft landscaping will contribute to improved greening throughout the area. As well as delivering on the core functional objectives of the project, the project’s public realm improvements have been designed to be transformative and regenerative throughout the corridor. This transformation cannot be achieved without some disruption to the area. Dublin City Council appreciate the co-operation of businesses, residents and users of the route in the delivery of this transformation.
