MOTION NO. 208

MOTION: Councillor P. Donovan

That this Council directs the Chief executive to consider extending the Dodder Greenway to include Bohernabreena Reservoirs and the circular route around the reservoir.

Co submitted with Cllr Colm Brophy

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 is linked to broader network of linked Greeways and other cycle routes. The route starts at the Grand Canal Dock (linking with the Grand Canal Greenway) and follows the course of the River Dodder to the Bohernabreena Reservoirs, where it will link with the existing circular route.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted.
