GADRA supports Metrolink but we do have issue with aspects of Metrolink in the area

We feel residents need access to advice from Independent Experts during enable works and construction phase

We feel the project needs independent oversight during construction identify delays and given the dynamic nature of tunneling to ensure that all is as it should be below ground.

We are looking for Residents Monitoring Group-to monitor and report environmental impacts such as noise, vibration, traffic, dust, working hours, timelines etc. during construction

A Community Fund should be set up, again similar to the children’s hospital fund

We support the Albert College Park and Ballymun Road Resident association and Hampstead Resident who are calling for a station in the park – which would be below ground structure rather than the planned permanent large above ground ventilation building in Albert College Park

We have concerns that a public park would be used for shaft which is a structure adjacent to the main tunnel- this is not the usual practice in other metros- they are usually site beside buildings or in car parks

We definitely do not think that Albert College Park should be used as a car/ maintenance parking area when the Ballymun road is within the required 20 meters for emergency vehicles

The Shaft should be reduced by at least 1/3 in size and its design in keeping with surrounding buildings

And most importantly- no night works on this site – it needs to be a dark quiet site at night.

We have concerns about access to schools on Mobhi Rd with footpaths and cycle lane being closed off during enabling works.

We do not believe the impacts of construction traffic has been assessed in the application

Please submit the issues that worry you – your submission does not have to be technical or long – there are no bad submissions but please send them in And please tell your local representatives what your concerns are as they are the people that represent you. Your Councillors will be involved in many of the decisions relating to hours of work traffic routes etc so tell them your concerns
