Even better: build canals along the road. This will provide more jobs, irrigation, as well as all the advantages you list. It works in the Netherlands.

Re: A Modest Proposal (4.00 / 2)

An especially interesting suggestion given that the road rises from near sea level to c. 800 feet. Think of all the locks and lock keepers required! There was however a Tram which traversed the route which was closed in 1932. When it comes to public transport, we have been going backwards for a long time. However the Luas has just been extended to Saggart at the Tallaght end of the Route... and could be extended to the Blessington/Naas area...
