Stupid Planning

[nansson]

This is a photo of the condition of the intersection of Griffith Avenue Extension and Tolka Estate.

This raised section was completed a few years ago at a cost of €70,000 - yes €70,000.

It was unnecessary at the time as the road was in perfect condition.....now look at the mess.

Who was responsible? - and will the contractors come back and fix the debacle?

Rhetorical, I know.....!

it is artwork now............street art................

Nansson......I use this junction on a daily basis.....it is left in an terrible condition I agree.....and will probably be left like that.....the roads around the area are like a patchwork quilt...and nothing is ever repaired properly..
But what's worse is how dangerous the junction is...people are forever driving right across the road and not stopping at the white line to the right on the photo....I have seen many accidents there and it's just a matter of time before somebody is killed

I wish whoever the member is that they'd have a look at the road up from me. The part I'm talking about started as a red speed ramp and could now be used by the army for teaching driving over rough terrain.

Put the photos up here R.............maybe something'll be done.

apparently that reddish surface suffered as a result of the bad snow/ice. It was lifting and breaking up and potentially dangerous which is why it isbeen replaced by plain old tarmac!

What genius didn't do the research?

I think it was like a light concrete mix with red dye through it. When the roads where salted in the snow/ice it took lumps out of the roads especially these ramps.There's a road over this way that was like this. The corpo fixed them all bar one with tar and left the one in the same state. The money must have run out.

I would still like to know who got the contract and who gave it to them, were they not told that we get ice and snow, and were they made come back and fix it ???
