Nearly 350 homes in north and west Dublin will lose part of their front gardens to clear the way for the first of four high-speed BusConnects bus corridors in the capital, the National Transport Authority (NTA) has said. The first four corridors are from Clongriffin, Swords, Blanchardstown and Lucan to the city centre. However, just 15 homes will lose part of their gardens on the corridor from Lucan. On the Swords corridor, properties at Seven Oaks are affected, along with homes between Griffith Avenue and Home Farm Road. The remaining corridors include Liffey Valley to the city centre, Clondalkin to Drimnagh, Greenhills to the city centre, Tallaght to Terenure, Kimmage to the city centre, Rathfarnham to the city centre (all informed in January), Ballymun to the city centre, Finglas to Phibsborough, Bray to the city centre, Blackrock to Merrion, UCD Ballsbridge to the city centre and Ringsend to the city centre (informed in February).
