Residents of Stillorgan and Kilmacud in opposition

Residents of Stillorgan and Kilmacud unite in their opposition of the proposed Monkstown Ring road.
Over 30,000 vehicles (1 vehicle every 2.8 seconds) including HGV traffic will cut a swathe through Stillorgan.
A local area plan is being prepared for the area to try and manage the construction traffic which will strangle the area over the rest of this decade during the reconstruction of Stillorgan Shopping Centre, Leisureplex, Blakes and ancillary sites.
Local residents in Mount Merrion fear that rat running will force a huge portion of this traffic through their residential area.

A petition has already been signed by hundreds of local residents.

Monkstown and Dun Laoghaire homes were not aware that the Monkstown Ring Road is coming their way.
They assumed that the traffic was going to divert on the Deansgrange road.
The traffic figures used in various reports prepared by Dun Laoghaire are not consistent.
