Compulsory Purchase Orders Given Go Ahead For Bray To Dublin Bus Corridor.

An Bord Pleanála has given the (NTA) permission to go ahead with the compulsory purchase orders necessary to make way for the controversial Bray to City Centre Core Bus Corridor Scheme.

An Bord Pleanála (ABP) has given the National Transport Authority (NTA) permission to go ahead with the compulsory purchase orders (CPO) necessary to make way for the  Bray to City Centre Core Bus Corridor Scheme.

The decision to agree to the CPOs came following meetings held by the planning authority on December 19, last year, and on January 9 this year, just weeks before residents in Bray began getting to grips with the Bus Connects network redesign, which saw the roll-out of new local routes, including a 24-hour service to Dublin.

The NTA issued CPOs for the bus corridor in August 2023, and there were a total of 216 submissions received on the scheme before the deadline, that October.

This relates to improving the network for buses, cyclists and pedestrians and will mean that throughout the total length of the corridor – 18.5 kilometres – pedestrian crossings will increase by 60pc, from 106 to 170; segregated cycle facilities will increase from 47pc to 91pc; and bus priority measures will increase from 69pc to 99.6pc.
