Pursuant to the requirements of the above, notice is hereby given of Dublin City Council's
intention to carry out the following works:
Proposed Sutton to Sandycove Cycleway & Footway Interim Works: Bull Wall
(Wooden Bridge) to Causeway Road, Dollymount, and Dublin 3
(A) The Site
The site of the subject scheme is located between the Wooden Bridge at Bull Island and at
Causeway Road junction on the seaward side of Clontarf Road/James Larkin Road. A
lagoon is formed between the Wooden bridge/Bull Wall, Causeway road and Bull Island. A
dilapidated tram shelter is located opposite Dolyes Lane indicating the former presence of
the Howth Tramline and to the north of the later structure a pumping station.
The site is located in proximity to the Dublin Bay area, with is designated with Special
Protection Area (SPA) status, Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Proposed Natural
Heritage Area (pNHA) status. Bull Island has been assigned additional designations
including Nature Reserve, Ramsar Site (under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of
International Importance), Wildfowl Sanctuary, UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a Special
Amenity Area Order (SAAO). The National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) of the DoECLG
have been consulted in relation to the preparation of the proposal and Habitats screening.

2. (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. The contents of the observer
submissions can be summarised as follows:
 Lack of Landscaping

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

7. 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.

8. 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

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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’.
