Written answers

The Office of Public Works did not undertake or commission a study on the effects of the closure of the peripheral gates of the Phoenix Park on traffic volumes in the surrounding areas. Dublin City Council has administrative responsibility for these areas. OPW is committed to engaging in a consultation process on the Phoenix Park Traffic and Mobility Strategy, involving all stakeholders, to create a balanced approach to access to the Park, for all users. This process is expected to take place during August/September of this year and will ultimately inform the appropriate sustainable solutions to traffic and mobility in the Phoenix Park in the short, medium and long term. OPW is currently undertaking traffic counts throughout the Phoenix Park to gain an understanding of the current traffic patterns, which will inform the Phoenix Park Traffic and Mobility Strategy.
