Sir, – Blocking vehicular access through the city centre would be super, but without a free-flowing alternative route for those who need cross-city access, the problem will relocate and worsen. The main north-south artery presently through East Wall/East Link is now subject to the same chaos as Fairview suffers, thus further blocking traffic across the city. All these current works seem to be doing is preventing the elderly and semi-ambulant from accessing the city centre and with no solutions being presented. It’s either get on a bus, train, bicycle or walk. This approach is not the right one.
I trust that all Dublin City Council, Green Party and National Transport Authority staff will be leading by example and surrendering their parking spaces in the city in favour of public transport, bicycles or new walking shoes. – Yours, etc,
