L’Irlanda sta sprecando un’opportunità Golden Green Line per placare le paure fuorviate del sud di Dublino

More short sighted-ness, it feels like we’re allergic to big infrastructure projects. Why don’t we have the foresight for long term planning projects. If the author is right this would save money if done correctly

I never knew why they had completely different guage lines between the red and green line. I always assumed some level of Gombeenery was at play, but there ya go, green line was always designed to be converted to a Metro at some stage or another. 

Should it happen? Yes.

Should the current plan be changed and brought back to square 1 to allow it to happen at the same time? No.

The state tried multiple avenues to appease locals when it came to getting the green line upgrade over the line. Eventually they made the prudent decision to park it and move on with the rest of the plan. It was the correct decision to keep the project moving along.

Having the line closed for up to 4 years to facilitate the upgrade is pretty wild. What are all those commuters gonna do in the meantime? Drive? Bus? Those options are already a disaster.

Michael McDowell and friends already stopped this. They didn’t want Ranelagh disrupted by building works ( or more riff raff coming down from the Northside).
