QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor J. Lahart

To ask the Manager to outline what is the present position with regard to the feasibility study being undertaken on the River Dodder cycling/pedestrian route?

REPLY:

The National Transport Authority granted funding in 2012 to carry out a study into the feasibility of a walking and cycling route along the full length of the Dodder River from Bohernabreena in South Dublin to Grand Canal Dock in Dublin City. South Dublin County Council commissioned the feasibility study on behalf of the NTA in consultation with Dublin City Council and Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. The feasibility study was completed in January 2013 and submitted to the National Transport Authority. The NTA have granted funding towards the preliminary design of key sections of the route and discussions are ongoing with the NTA to agree the scope of the preliminary design stage.
