MOTION: Councillor F.N. Duffy

REPORT:

A Feasibility Study regarding the implementation of a public bike scheme in Tallaght town centre was carried out in 2014. The study found that the provision of a scheme in Tallaght was feasible. Implementation of the schemes awaits funding. The provision of further bike scheme throughout the County could be the subject of similar studies, with the support of the National transport Authority, who are responsible for the implementation and operation of bike sharing schemes. South Dublin County Council has also committed, via its Corporate Plan 2015-2019, to support the expansion of the Dublin Bike Scheme.
