Sir, The way forward here must be to provide a safe, accessible friendly system on the surface of Dublin. But are we about to make the best use of tsuffice area? I have suggested before that consideration should be given by, the Dublin Transport Initiative to a gauge of three feet instead of the five feet three inches which appears to be in contemplation at present.
This narrower gauge is in use in many European cities Berne is an example. As the proposed LUAS lines will not connect to the State rail system, no problem will arise with a three foot gauge system. The additional surface space saved will ease the problem for alternate means of transport. Yours, etc., Woodbank, Killiney, Co. Dublin.
