COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

MOTION NO. 212

MOTION: Councillor B. Bonner

Transport/Permeability

That links to existing green way along the canal would be improved to enable more people to access it safely.  A pedestrian / cycle path  from Clondalkin Village along the Camac river to the canal  would be an important element of this.  Also an extension of the canal cycle way towards Hazelhatch and the county border there and co-operation with Kildare County Council to extend the cycle path onwards would promote permeability for commuters and would have definite benefits in terms of 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 a Primary route linking to the Grand Canal Greenway at the 9th Lock and further Greenway along the Camac River near Yellow Meadows.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted.
