(B) The Proposal Proposed Sutton to Sandycove Cycleway & Footway Interim Works: Bull Wall (Wooden Bridge) to Causeway Road, Dollymount, Dublin 3.

The proposal for the Sutton to Sandycove Cycleway & Footway Interim Works: Bull Wall (Wooden Bridge) to Causeway Road is to provide approximately 2km of cycleway between the Bull Wall and Causeway Road tying in with the existing cycleway on either side, thereby providing a continuous 8km cycleway around North Dublin Bay. Works Include:

Construction of 2km of cycle track and footway requiring a reduction in the road carriageway cross section and resurfacing of the road;

Introduction of a number of signal controlled crossings to facilitate access for pedestrians and cyclists on the route from the surroundings area;

Seawall repairs including the construction of a new 325 metres section of sea wall;

Flood defence works to provide a continuous flood defence level of 4.25m OD between the Bull Wall and Causeway Road;

Construction of approximately 2km of the North City Arterial Watermain between the Bull Wall and causeway Road while the road works are being undertaken;

Other works include renovation of tram shelter, undergrounding of pumping station, closure of 2 slipways and steps accessing lagoon and loss of 7 parking spaces and associated works.

(C) Submissions A total of 43 submissions have been received in relation to the project including observation from the Clontarf Residents Association, An Taisce, Dublin Cycling Campaign, a number of public representatives, commuters and other residents.

4. Recreational routes: These routes will be progressed where development opportunities arise, generally in association with walking routes (see also relevant policies in Chapter 5, Connecting and Sustaining the City’s Infrastructure and Chapter 6, Greening the City and also Figure 6, 10 and 11)

■ Section of proposed S2S (Sutton to Sandycove) cycleway/promenade that would proceed through Dublin City Council area, subject to feasibility study.

Dublin City Council supports the development of a Sutton to Sandycove (S2S) promenade and cycleway, in so far as it is practicable, subject to final approval of detailed design and agreement at each stage by the elected representatives of the City Council. Dublin City Council will also explore the development of a cycle route from Sandymount, in the vicinity of Irishtown Nature Reserve to the South Bull Wall, in consultation with Dublin

Page 7: Item06a part8

Principle Issues arising from Consultation and Response

1. Landscaping There is some concern regarding the lack of any landscaping proposals submitted as part of the application. Response: As the proposal is an interim scheme which aims to develop a cycleway largely within the existing road carriageway cross section there is very little room to provide landscaping measures. During the Detailed Design of the Scheme a landscape design will be developed in consultation with the Dublin City Council Parks and Landscape Services Division

2. Reduced road width

A number of submissions express concern regarding the impact of reducing the carriageway width of the Clontarf Road. One submission refers to the National Roads Authority’s Guidelines on Traffic Calming.

Response: The NRA Guidelines on Traffic Calming were produced for the road safety management of high-speed national roads in rural areas as they enter towns and villages. These guidelines do not apply to urban roads such as the current proposal at Dollymount. However, the guidelines are based on the general principle that narrower roads have a traffic calming effect and lead to lower speeds.

The design guidance that is relevant to the current proposal is the NRA Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Volume 6 Section 1 Part 2 (NRA TD 27/11) which states that urban all-purpose single carriageway roads should have a carriageway width of between 6.00m to 7.00m. The current proposal is consistent with these guidelines.

The Design Manual for Urban Roads and Streets (published by the Department of Transport March 2013) states that: "Lane widths may be reduced to 3m on those Arterial and Link streets where lower design speeds are being applied, such as in centres and where access for larger vehicles is only occasionally required".

Lower traffic speeds due to a reduced carriageway width will not cause traffic delays. In fact traffic capacity may increase with lower speed as headways between vehicles can be shorter. This principle is reflected internationally in design manuals such as the US Highway Capacity Manual, which is based on extensive research and traffic flow theory.

The proposed carriageway width of 6.0m provided within the scheme is intended to slow vehicles to a safe speed while maintaining free flow conditions. The average heavy goods vehicle is approximately 2.5m wide. A carriageway width of 6m is sufficient to allow two heavy goods vehicles to pass in opposite directions. The numbers of such vehicles on the coast road at Dollymount is relatively low as it is a residential area.

Traffic lane widths over the length of the scheme will generally be reduced to a width of three metres in each direction. This will have a number of benefits to both users of the cycleway and also to local residents. The narrower traffic lanes and the introduction of traffic islands and build outs will have a significant beneficial effect of calming traffic speeds. The existing speed limit of 50km/h will be extended beyond the Causeway Road/Watermill Road Junction. This section currently has a speed limit of 60km/h. As this scheme only extends from the Wooden Bridge to just beyond the Causeway Road/Watermill Road Junction, this proposal has no brief to consider traffic speeds beyond these limits. DCC has noted the comments. New traffic speed signs will be placed to the north of the Causeway Road/Watermill Road Junction to notify drivers of the extended speed limit.

Page 8: Item06a part8

3. Car Parking Issues There have been a number of concerns regarding the impact of the scheme on car parking including the loss of car parking and also the introduction of additional car parking along the route.

Response: As the proposal is an interim scheme which aims to develop a cycleway largely within the existing road carriageway cross section. Therefore, it is not possible to retain all parking spaces. The loss of car parking has been minimised as much as possible along the Clontarf Road and James Larkin Road. Following the receipt of submissions the project design team has further reviewed the preliminary design and the number of spaces affected by the Interim Scheme as proposed in the Part VIII application cannot be further reduced.

There is also a submission on file in relation to the installation of parking in Clontarf Road from Dollymount Park as far as Dollymount Avenue. It is argued that there is no requirement for parking between the shops and No 378. It is considered that the parked cars provide a hazard by providing a visual obstruction to drivers exiting onto Clontarf Rd. The narrowing of the carriageway will exacerbate problems. Following the receipt of submissions on the topic, the preliminary design has been reviewed and the double yellow lines outside the houses between the shops at the junction of Dollymount Park and house number 378 can be retained as per the request of the residents without any effect on the scheme.

It was noted in a number of submissions that the accesses to a number of the houses along Clontarf Road are quite narrow and that residents are required to reverse into the access. Swept path analyses using an estate car with a length of 4.7 metres and a width of 1.8 metres have been undertaken on a sample number of the properties between Seafield Road East and Mount Prospect Avenue. These tests show that with the proposed scheme in place it will be possible to safely access all properties.

4. Flood Defence Works A number of submissions on file relate to the raising of the sea wall. Some of the submissions argue that the wall is too high while other submissions note that the proposal does not give enough flood protection. Response: As these are Interim Works which are designed as the first stage towards the delivery of the overall Dollymount Promenade & Flood Protection Project (DPFPP) the full flood defence height of +4.6m OD as proposed in the DPFPP is not being provided as the wave reduction barrier element of the scheme will be constructed at a later stage of the delivery of the project. To ensure consistency with the design of the DPFPP and to ensure minimal redundant work when the DPFPP is constructed, flood defence will be provided to a height of +4.25m OD. Once the promenade and wave reduction barrier is constructed a flood defence level of +4.6m OD will be achieved. In the section where the highest number of properties are located, i.e. between the Wooden Bridge and Mount Prospect Avenue, the increase in height of the existing wall will be modest in most places (approximately 0.25m along most of the section). Between Mount Prospect Avenue and Causeway Road this will vary between 0.25m and 1.0 metres.

5. Closure of slipways and access to beach There are a number of submissions on file in relation to the closure of the two slipways and loss of access to the beach. Response: As proposed by the DPFPP (Boardwalk) Scheme approved by An Bord Pleanála in December 2011, the S2S Interim Scheme proposal includes for the

Page 9: Item06a part8

provision of a continuous flood defence height of 4.25mOD which involves the closure of existing access points to the lagoon. Having regard to the level of concern regarding the loss of amenity contained within the submissions, options for addressing this were considered. A presentation was made to NPWS (National Parks and Wildlife Services) on the request for access to the beach.

The initial proposal proposed to remove all access to the beach along Clontarf Road and James Larkin Road. Following discussions with the NPWS it is now proposed to maintain the stepped access to the lagoon area lagoon at Dollymount Avenue and at Mount Prospect Avenue. However gates are to be installed across the accesses to ensure flood protection and to restrict access to the public during the wintering bird season to protect the birdlife. The gates will be locked from 15th September to the 31st March winter season and at times of flood risk. Drainage Services have confirmed they have no objection in principle to the flood gates and operation and maintenance.

6. Impact on the Boardwalk/Promenade proposal There are a number of submissions on file in relation to the provision of the promenade/boardwalk as granted per the Dollymount Promenade and Flood Protection Project (DPFPP).

Response: Funding is not currently available to construct the full Dollymount Promenade & Flood Protection Project (boardwalk) scheme at this time. The NTA has however identified a limited amount of funding to develop the S2S between the Wooden Bridge and Causeway Road. The most ecologically sensitive phases of the works are also the most expensive elements of the DPFPP (Phases 1, 3 and 4). This S2S Interim Works proposes to construct Phase 2 and Phase 5 of the approved scheme DPFPP at this time. An on road solution has been developed which utilises existing road space to provide an acceptable standard of cycleway along the entire scheme whilst maintaining standard carriageway widths. The scheme proposed does not compromise the future construction of the boardwalk scheme (DPFPP) should funding become available.

7. Traffic Management measures along Dollymount Avenue

One of the submissions suggests that double yellow lines on Dollymount Avenue to be shortened significantly.

Response: Due to the narrow width of Dollymount Avenue and the presence of parking along the southern side of the road, the removal or reduction in length of the double yellow lines on the approach to the junction would reduce the carriageway width to such an extent that Dollymount Avenue could be restricted to accommodating only one way traffic. As this would be in proximity to the junction with Clontarf Road this could have unacceptable implications in terms of traffic backing onto the Clontarf Road.

8. Relocation of Bus Stop outside former Dollymount House

There is a submission on file which suggests the relocation of the northbound bus stop on Clontarf Road from just south of Dollymount Park to the north side of Dollymount Park (in front of the existing commercial units) due to impacts on the proposed apartment development in particular:

1. Noise for new apartments

2. Visually intrusive for occupants

3. Better location north of Dollymount Park in front of commercial units

4. May impact on fire tender access for new development.

Page 10: Item06a part8

Response: The location of the proposed bus stop has been identified to optimise parking and safety of road users. The proposed bus stop location is only 20 metres from the existing bus stop location and will create no additional impacts compared with the current location. It is not expected that the location of the bus stop will have any negative impacts on the property in question.

9. Construction of Watermain

There are concerns regarding the construction of the proposed watermain.

Response: The construction of the watermain has planning approval and is an objective of Dublin City Council. In these stringent economic times Dublin City Council has identified the possibility of avoiding reconstruction works on the Clontarf/James Larkin Road on two separate occasions in a short space of time. It would be appropriate from an environmental, financial and public disturbance perspective to lay the pipe for this 2km section of the NCAM while the road is being reconstructed as part of the S2S Cycleway & Footway Interim Works Scheme. By combining the works for the NCAM into the Interim Scheme it is hoped to:

• reduce the construction impacts of 2 separate contracts on the residents of the Clontarf area;

• provide significant cost savings in terms of carriageway reconstruction traffic management costs and site supervision costs etc.; and

• reduce the duration of the works and potential disturbance to birds and other wildlife in Dublin Bay.

10. Lack of public consultation

A number of submissions contend that there was a lack of public consultation and a lack of facilities to display the scheme.

Response: The proper Part VIII consultation procedures were followed. The proposal was presented to the North Central Area Committee prior to the lodgement of the proposal. Regarding the display of the proposal there was limited availability of a public building that would be open and manned between the hours of 9am to 5pm on Monday to Friday in proximity to the scheme. A number of venues to display the scheme were considered including the Red Stables in St. Anne’s Park, however Raheny Library was the only venue that was suitable for the purpose of public display.

11. Visual Impact of the scheme

There are some concerns regarding the visual impact of the scheme.

Response: Other than minor increases in the flood protection height, varying up to a maximum of 1.0 metres in height the proposal will not have any significant visual obstruction or deterioration. The scheme as proposed will enhance the scenic beauty by removing the DCC pumping station and placing it below ground and by renovating the tram shelter.

Conclusion The proposed S2S Interim works are considered to be an important step in improving infrastructure for cycling and for encouraging more cycling throughout the city. The project when completed will provide 2km of cycleway between the Bull Wall and Causeway Road tying in with the existing cycleway on either side, thereby providing a continuous 8km cycleway around North Dublin Bay.

Page 11: Item06a part8

The project also conforms to the cycling objectives of the Dublin City Development Plan 2005 – 2011 in addition to relevant national policy such as the national Cycle Policy Framework 2009-2020 and ‘Smarter Travel’. Recommendation It is considered that the proposed development would be fully consistent with the provisions of the Dublin City Development Plan 2011-2017 as it will comply with the relevant policies and objectives contained therein and those also contained within relevant national and regional guidance. It is recommended that the development proceed subject to the following recommendations and amendments.
