Sir, – The National Transport Authority’s ambitious plan to widen many roads in Dublin to alleviate traffic flow and enhance bus, pedestrian and cyclist travel is admirable in its intentions but flawed in its execution.
I wonder have any of the planning team considered a school bus system in Dublin instead of such a drastic redevelopment plan?
Any Dublin motorist will attest to the fact that traffic on all Dublin roads is almost halved during mid-term breaks and during the summer months when schools are closed.
