New bus interchange plans approved for Red Cow Luas park and ride

PERMISSION has been granted by South Dublin County Council to Transport Infrastructure Ireland for the construction of a new bus interchange to replace the existing one at Red Cow Luas park and ride car park on the Naas Road.

The planned works consist of the provision of nine new sawtooth type bus bays, bus shelters, overhead canopies, a bicycle building, passenger and driver welfare facilities, and an electrical substation.

A new carriageway arrangement for bus access and circulation including a reconfiguration of the western car-park layout to allow for provision of taxi and drop off facilities is also proposed.

The proposed works also include minor re-alignment of the park and ride access road between the mini-roundabout entrance to the western car park and the mini-roundabout entrance to the eastern car-park.

The existing Luas stop, depot building, surface parking facilities and bus interchange were originally granted permission under LRO 59 of 1999.
