Our two traffic monitors (one on Glasnevin Hill and one on Saint Mobhi Road) count traffic in both directions, and provide valuable information to residents' groups in the area.
This data is especially important in light of the forthcoming significant changes in the Village as a result of BusConnects. We now have a baseline of data, and will be able to measure accurately the impact of the new traffic flows.
Our two traffic monitors are now up and running. (We had a delay with one, because the camera was faulty and needed to be replaced.) The monitors are now counting traffic in both directions, and providing valuable information to residents' groups in the area. See attached for a screenshot showing the data from one of the monitors. This data is especially important in light of the forthcoming significant changes in the Village as a result of BusConnects. We now have a baseline of data, and will be able to measure accurately the impact of the new traffic flows.
Our plan is to measure the traffic flows on both Saint Mobhi Road and Glasnevin Hill, two of the key routes through Glasnevin Village. There is a significant amount of construction ongoing and planned in the Village, which will add a relatively large volume of new houses and apartments. In addition, BusConnects is scheduled to change the traffic flows by banning cars from travelling north on Saint Mobhi Road at peak times. All of above will impact the volume of traffic and the flow thereof, and it is important that, as a community, we know exactly how the traffic flows change over time.
Below is a photo of our group, planning the project.
