Ireland – Construction work – Dublin City Council - Contract for Finglas Village Improvement Scheme

Dublin City Council is seeking to award a Contract for the Finglas Village Improvement Scheme Dublin City Council aims to enhance the quality of life for its residents by developing an integrated Active Travel Network. This comprehensive network is designed to foster connections among individuals via pedestrian pathways, segregated cycle provision, and other environmentally friendly transportation alternatives. The enhancement of accessibility and interconnectivity for people walking, wheeling and cycling within this network is anticipated to play a pivotal role in mitigating carbon emissions originating from transport activities. The council’s objective is to augment the existing 40km network into a seamlessly connected 314km network spanning the entire city. The Finglas Village Improvement Scheme is one of the projects identified under this initiative. The Finglas Village Improvement Scheme (FVIS) proposes to provide public amenity improvements along with high quality walking, cycling and public transport facilities within Finglas Village and along Seamus Ennis Road (between the junction of North Road and Clune Road). The area is currently dominated by traffic and generally unfriendly to users of sustainable transport. The scheme seeks to improve the sense of place in the village centre and safety and access for all users across the entire length of the scheme. The changes to the bus network as part of BusConnects will see additional services operating along McKee Avenue and Seamus Ennis Road and passing through the ‘five-arm’ junction which need to be accommodated The Scheme comprises: - Re-configuration of existing carriageway for inclusion of cycle provision - Site Clearance - Pavement works - Kerbs and Footways - Traffic Islands - Public lighting - Traffic signs and road markings - Drainage works - Traffic signalling, Fibre Ducting and Cabling - Utilities - Landscaping and Urban Realm Works - Bus Shelters - Bike Stands - Temporary Traffic Management . Please note that this project is subject to funding. For further information please refer to documentation available to download from www.etenders.gov.ie Resource ID 7963045
