Transport21 is coming to Ballyer!!  Everybody run like hell!

The new proposed line F through Ballyfermot should be rejected.  First of all it's a tram people!  What a load of shite.  We need a Metro! - A proper underground system.  If they can do it in other countries they can do it here for us now, a representative from RPA told me that there is money there.  Believe that a Metro can be done.  But of course all the people here jump at the first thing that's offered to them.  Ballyfermot doesn't have a lot to offer as far pretty places go but we do have at least a lovely tree lined thoroughfare that is the Kylemore road.  Well here's news people... say Bye Bye to your lovely 50 year old trees and say Hello to wires and masts because that's what you're getting if Line F Option 1 goes through.  And for what? So you can get jammed onto a tram filled with comfortably seated people from Lucan?  (No offence to the boys and girls in Lucan )
But really what's in it for us in Ballyer?  Some eegit from RPA told me on the open day in the Civic Centre that "there will be plenty of room".  Me arse will there be, just go over to Mc Donalds on the Naas road and try and get on that at peak times and get a taste of what's coming.  And will the traffic on the Kylemore road get any better or worse with this thing taking over the road?  What about people not close to the line, how will life be for them when the competing Dublin Bus starts to remove services that go deeper into the community?  They will remove the buses because that's what happened on the other 2 lines already.

By the way the parking outside the shops up at the Gala will be gone too so where will you park then?  How will it affect those businesses?

People will have to get on to www.rpa.ie and put a stop to this before they make a balls of the place.
