Broadstone is one of three neighbourhood’s that together form the modern-day Phibsboro area in Dublin, Ireland. Situated furthest south among these, it starts just two kilometers north of the Father Mathew Bridge at Ormond Quay. The area is triangular in shape, bordered by Phibsborough Road and Constitution Hill on the west, North Circular Road on the north, and Dorset Street and Bolton Street on the southeast. Its postal code is Dublin 7.

The Grangegorman Gate, built as part of the Luas Cross City project, serves as a vital entrance to the Grangegorman University campus. This completed public plaza now significantly connects Grangegorman to the heart of Dublin. It’s located off Constitution Hill where the old Royal Canal once was, at the site of the former Great Western Railway Station (commonly called Broadstone), and is now a major gateway to the Grangegorman urban quarter.

The Broadstone area, bordering Grangegorman on its east, underwent a Part VIII planning process in 2014 to enable site development and gate access.

The Grangegorman Masterplan envisions the main urban path through Grangegorman, St Brendan’s Way, connecting with the Broadstone Gate, ultimately reaching Prussia Street. This Broadstone link can also be viewed as an extension of Dublin’s historic 18th-century core, which stretched from Dublin Castle across Grattan Bridge, along Capel Street/Bolton Street, to Henrietta Street and King’s Inn.

DublinBikes, a popular bike-sharing service in Dublin, provides convenient access to bicycles for both residents and visitors.

Docking Stations 103, 104, and 105: These three docking stations are strategically placed near the TU campus (Technological University Dublin) in the Grangegorman area. The proximity of these stations suggests that there might indeed be a high demand for bikes in this location. Having multiple stations close together ensures that users can easily find an available bike or return one without having to travel far.

The stations are situated on Upper Grangegorman and Lower Grangegorman, making them accessible to students, faculty, and nearby residents.

The Grangegorman area in Dublin has undergone significant redevelopment in recent years.

Key points about the area include:

TU Dublin Campus: The consolidated Technological University Dublin campus at Grangegorman is a major centre for education, bringing thousands of students and staff to the area daily.

Luas Green Line: The tram line provides fast and convenient public transport connections to the city centre, creating a multimodal transport network.

Regeneration: The wider Grangegorman redevelopment project has revitalised the area with a mix of educational, residential, and some commercial buildings, increasing the population density and need for transport options.

IS IT ATTRACTING ANTI-SOCIAL ACTIVITY

July 30, 2023 by infomatique

THE BROADSTONE TRAM STOP


I can use either one of two tram stops near me and I usually choose the one at Broadstone as the one on Dominick Street is less than safe because of ongoing drugs dealing in the immediate area (especially tho old flats). If your search online you will find many negative comments about this particular stop. I have not encountered any specific incidences at this location but have encountered problems at the Jervis Tram Stop and at stops along the Grand Canal on the Red Line.

I have a friend who is always very negative and when I brought him to see the new public space, at Broadstone, he said that it would soon become a hub for anti-social activity. I dismissed his prediction but today there was evidence that he might have been correct as there was a group of about ten youths with motorbikes using the area as a racetrack and they were less than competent.

As a result of the above I decided to check if there were any reported problems at the Broadstone Stop and came across the following: In June Professor David Fitzpatrick of TU Dublin wrote after a video was posted of a shocking incident in which students were subject to a tirade of racist abuse at a Luas station near the college’s new Grangegorman campus in the capital. According to the professor many students and staff had reported “incidents of intimidation and anti-social behaviour” at the Broadstone plaza and tram stop.
