SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, June 22, 2016

MOTION NO. 20

MOTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"This committee supports the extension of the city bike scheme to a number of locations in the Clondalkin area, including the Red Cow Luas stop, the Clondalkin Civic Offices and a number of locations along the Grand Canal Greenway."

REPORT:

A Feasibility Study regarding the implementation of a public bike scheme in Tallaght town centre was carried out in 2014. The study found that the provision of a scheme in Tallaght was feasible. Implementation of the scheme has not progressed as it awaits funding. The provision of further bike scheme throughout the County could be the subject of similar studies, with the support of the National Transport Authority, who are responsible for the implementation and operation of bike sharing schemes. South Dublin County Council has also committed, via its Corporate Plan 2015-2019, to support the expansion of the Dublin Bike Scheme. If the motion is passed the NTA will be written to and requested to consider funding a feasibility study for the locations referred to in the motion.
