New Traffic Flows

There are a few observations I'd like to make:

1)  The section on which I live from [SCR/Ballinacurra junction] to [SCR/Lifford junction] becoming one-way.

I strongly support and applaud this plan. It is long overdue. There is no pleasure driving this section of the road which is effectively operating as a public self-policed stop/go system for years. This is due to all the cars that are persistently parked on the road rendering its use as a two way channel unworkable. So please persist with this plan. I do not mind that when heading away from town on the Ballinacurra road, the turn right onto the SCR will be removed, meaning I must got to as far the Crescent SC roundabout and come back along the same road in order to enter the SCR and get home. It's still better than the nonsense arrangement we have now.

2) The disallowance of traffic proceeding along the SCR to town after the [SCR/Lifford junction]; i.e. they must turn right and go down Lifford. 

I strongly support and applaud this plan. It will make the section from [SCR/Ballinacurra junction] to [SCR/Lifford junction] a much quieter place for us residents. 

3) Cycle lanes and reduction of parking

I understand that society must move on. Far too few people are cycling in this city. More cycling and safer cycling is the correct direction and priority. I do have a reservation w.r.t. the limited parking: people find it convenient to park on the road rather than go round and park at the rear of their houses, where many (maybe not all) do have parking. I wonder if there's enough provisioned, and if not will people continue to park on the road and therefore foil the vision for cycling.
