MOTION NO. 202

MOTION: Councillor F.N. Duffy

Strategic vision, policy and objectives to connect the main pedestrian arteries (Grand Canal Way / Dodder Way / Dublin Mountain Way) to secondary routes and onto tertiary. Creating a clear network for people to traverse casually for leisure or direct access to work. Note Dutch and Danish models.

REPORT:

South Dublin County Council worked in close consultation with the National Transport Authority (NTA) to development a County wide cycling network. The County wide network was integrated with those of adjoining Counties and incorporated into the NTA’s Greater Dublin Area Strategic Cycle Network. This document identifies a hierarchy of primary, secondary, feeder routes and Greenways for the GDA, including major Greenways along the Grand Canal, and Dodder River, the latter of which will link with the Dublin Mountains Way at Kiltipper Park. South Dublin County Council will continue to work closely with the NTA to procure for the continued roll of the GDA Strategic Cycle Network throughout the lifetime of this plan.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted.
