Read somewhere that there are back up generators to heavy for the M50 Bridge .Will they have to bulldoze up the new Bus Gate to allow the trucks through the City .Could an extra long load make the turn onto the Quays ?Dosent look to be any real planning going into these things .Just need a few Hippy voters in the Constituency to get a bike lane .Next time you Drive up Cork Street over the Bridge To Dolphins Barn get a look at the bit of buslane that prevents a second bus from moving until the first one moves about 100 yards long WHY ?Or the bike lane at the Sub that holds up traffic turning right at the lights .
Or the sticks outside St Bernadettes Church on Clogher Rd that cause mayhem every rush hour as cars waiting to turn right can't be undertaken so nobody goes anywhere,the rows of sticks outside the Spawell going down to the Orwell Roundabout on both sides of the road that nobody cycles in but has effectively halved the size of the road... 
Drove from Dundrum to Sallynogging and back, Sat mid afternoon Sandyford Rd, Industrial Estate, Leopardstown Rd, N11, Kill Lane, Rochestown Avenue. Long queues at all traffic lights out and back, sunny day. Over that whole trip, I only saw two cyclists, and they were cycling on the N11 road on the return journey, ignoring the cycle lanes. Any mode of transport on the public road which has an engine, or an electric motor should be number plated, and pay road tax, and insurance. It should be an offence for any non motorised cyclist to use the road where there is a cycle lane available. The owners of the delivery companies, and or, the brands they advertise should be held legally responsible, as well as the deliverees themselves, for their deliverees failure to wear Hi Viz, or failure to have lights front and rear.
