SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Thursday, February 12, 2015

MOTION NO. 209

MOTION: Councillor S. Holland

Please advise on the feasibility of extending a cycle route from Knocklyon up into Bohernabreena.

If this could also be extended into town, say Grand Canal Dock, it would provide a gateway to the mountains.

It would be of immense benefit to the area to open it up for further tourism.

REPORT:

South Dublin County Council worked in close consultation with the National Transport Authority (NTA) to develop a County wide cycling network. The county wide network was integrated with those of adjoining Counties and incorporated into the NTAs Greater Dublin Area Strategic Cycle Network. This document identifies a hierarchy of primary, secondary, feeder routes and Greenways for the GDA. This includes the Dodder Greenway which starts at the Grand Canal Dock (linking with the Grand Canal Greenway) and follows the course of the River Dodder to the Bohernabreena Reservoirs.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted.
