SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, December 17, 2013

QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Manager to provide an update on plans to extend the Grand Canal Green Route (including CCTV) from Griffeen Avenue, through the remainder of Griffeen Valley Park, to the N4 pedestrian/cycle bridge?"

REPLY:

Whilst this proposal does not form part of the current National Transport Authority sustainable transport measures grant funding to SDCC , it is a potentially worthwhile proposal that, subject to consideration of an overall walking and cycling network for the Lucan area, could form part of future applications for funding to the NTA. Further to requests for input from SDCC in respect of the preparation of the Draft Cycle Network Plan for the Greater Dublin Area from the National Transport Authority, South Dublin County Council suggested the route through Griffeen Valley Park as a potential greenway. The 'Griffeen Greenway' route is included in the Draft Cycle Network Plan for the Greater Dublin Area.
