It shall be an objective of the 2016 - 2022 County Development Plan to seek the support of and to work in collaboration with Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council, Kildare County Council, the OPW, existing landowners and community groups including the Liffey Valley Park Alliance to promote and develop a Liffey Valley Park along the lines promoted by and campaigned for by the Liffey Valley Park Alliance.

It shall be an objective of the 2016 - 2022 County Development Plan to bring privately owned lands within the SAAO and proposed Liffey Valley Park Area at Palmerstown into public ownership either by direct purchase or land swop.
Cycle routes which are independent of existing roads should feature in this county development plan. Significant capital investment should be earmarked to develop cycle routes which keep cyclists and motorists apart i.e. along the canal, the Dodder etc.
These routes would be capable of taking significant increases, safely, of cyclists but would require cross county co-operation with each of the other local authorities.
That the Council directs the Chief Executive to include a policy on the re-zoning of lands and inclusion of Specific Local Objectives (SLOs) in Rathfarnham pertaining to community facility and parkland provision.
That this Council preserves the Liffey Valley
Permeability
That this Council directs the Chief Executive to avoid any policies in the new Development Plan that seek a ‘one size fits all’ model to promoting walking and cycling permeability; and instead proposes an approach that recognises the views and wishes of residents of existing residential areas in the planning of any new permeability measures.

That this Council inserts a specific objective in the Development plan to provide a Regional Park in the Liffey Valley as a public amenity on lands at St. Edmondsbury and Woodville to eventually link up with Lucan Demesne, as part of a wider Liffey Valley Park with adjoining counties.
Please advise on the feasibility of extending a cycle route from Knocklyon up into Bohernabreena.
If this could also be extended into town, say Grand Canal Dock, it would provide a gateway to the mountains.
It would be of immense benefit to the area to open it up for further tourism.
