QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor P. Cosgrave

"To ask the Manager to review the safety aspect of the cycle lane at the Bus stop at the start of Firhouse Road going onto Old Bridge Road city direction. When a Bus arrives at the Bus stop passengers alight the Bus across the cycle lane. This is a danger to cyclists. Could the cycle lane and footpath be put behind the Bus stop when work begins on the new Q.B.C.?"

REPLY:

As part of the new QBC scheme the cycle track will be on road with the bus lane at this location and there will be no conflict between bus users, pedestrians and cyclists.
