Can the planned Liffey Cycle Route junctions be redesigned to be fit for Cycling For All? -- IrishCycle.com

COMMENT & ANALYSIS: A new Liffey Cycle Route was announced with what this website and other publications described as a broad welcome, but the devil is in the detail and the detail isn’t good.

The first round of public consultation on the route is on-going — details including reports and drawings can be found on DublinCity.ie.

...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...

Before people respond to the consultation fully positively, let’s have a debate about the details.

Junctions are key: Can the below junctions include full segregation for people cycling while giving them priority, continue to allow motorists to turn left and provide a high-level of priority for buses?

Are there too many competing things in the mix?

Here’s a sample of the most problematic junctions:

This is Parkgate Street at the main entrance to the Phoenix Park:

This is the junction with Blackhall Place:

This is the junction with Watling Street:

This is Bridgefoot Street:

This is Church Street:

This is Bridge Street:

Is it possible?

There are other major issues. So, this is just a start in the discussion.

...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
