Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Traffic Management, Congestion and Public Safety at College Green, Dublin: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. Brendan O'Brien:
We looked at the original layout of College Green and the microsimulation model predicted a 1 km queue of traffic that would pass through it.
As Mr. Keegan said, we are not removing all the traffic and public transport from College Green. We will not remove all the buses. The tram tracks will provide a high quality, fast public transport route for trams, buses and taxis. When we looked at that, that gave us a higher capacity for buses along that alignment than is currently proposed under the College Green plaza plan. This provides a good solution.
