Submission I made today regarding the North Dublin City transport - TopicsExpress



          

Submission I made today regarding the North Dublin City transport options. North Dublin City Transport submission- Cllr Reilly Metro North was the flagship project of the Ballymun regeneration. So many other projects depended on the development of the Metro North. When it was announced a number of years back that the transport link was stalled, it also led to the new Ballymun Shopping centre not proceeding. This is has had a really negative effect on economic development within the Ballymun area. At present there is currently no direct link for the people of Ballymun with the airport despite the short distances. The Metro north was to address this issue; therefore it is imperative that one of the proposed options goes through Ballymun. I have done a lot of consultation with residents and the preferred option is light rail. It is vitally important that the transport needs of the area are addressed. If we are to attract investment into the area, increase the number of job opportunities for people and deal with the housing crisis we need to provide people with adequate transportation. Ballymun is a prime location for development given its proximity to the M50 and Dublin Airport and the huge amount of vacant land here. Any positive announcement in terms of transport could be a catalyst in future development.
