Project Overview and Design Info
The East Coast Trail North Phase 1 Project will:
- Deliver improved pedestrian facilities by upgrading and realigning existing crossing and installing new pedestrian crossings on both Alfie Byrne Road and East Wall Road.
- Eliminate footpath parking on East Wall Road through the provision of dedicated parking bays on the carriageway.
- Improve facilities for cyclists by providing a segregated two-way cycling route between the entrance to the Eastpoint Business Centre and East Road and thereby provide a north-south route linking Fairview, Clontarf and Sutton with the Northern Campshires via East Road.
- Provide connectivity with the new cycling and pedestrian facility currently under construction through Fairview Park as part of the Clontarf to City Centre Project.
- Provide a “School Zone” in the vicinity of St Joseph’s National School including traffic calming measures and protected cycle lanes.
- Upgrade the recycling facility on Alfie Byrne Road to include a dedicated vehicular set down area.
- Encourage walking and cycling in the area by providing improved facilities.
- Contribute to a reduction in transport emissions in line with the objectives of the Climate Action Plan by encouraging a modal shift to active travel and public transport use.
