MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 19

MOTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"That this committee present a report on progress on the cycleways in the Clondalkin village area. 

Is there provision for a cycle path in the current works from the monastery Walk to the village?

Has any progress been made on seeking permeability funds to extend the cycle path from Clondalkin Sports and Leisure Centre through the village and along the camac at the watery lane to join the Canal path greenway at the Woodford gate?"

REPORT:

Clondalkin Village is included in the Clondalkin Movement Framework Plan which is now complete and which was funded by the National Transport Authority.  The Plan contains a series of recommendations for walking and cycling improvements in Clondalkin and its environs. These will form the basis for applications by South Dublin County Council to the National Transport Authority for funding through their sustainable transport grants. The main recommendation of the plan for Clondalkin Village is the creation of a 30kph zone in the congested village area.

There is no provision for a cycle path from the Monastery Walk to the village.  The current scheme which is part of the Movement Framework Plan is a walking route from the Village as far as the Luas at the Naas Road.

The cycle path from the Sports Centre as far as the Greenway at Woodford is contained in the Movement Framework Plan and funding will be sought in 2016 for this scheme.
