QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"A new group, Friends of the Camac, has been established to protect and enhance the River Camac as it flows through the Clondalkin area.  They would like an update on the plan that was formulated  several years ago at my request to build a walkway/ cycleway along the camac  at the Watery Lane from the village ( Clondalkin Park/ Community Centre) to the Canal greenway at Woodford. Has any more progress been made on securing permeability funding for this project and can our new group do anything to assist in the process of secrung funding?" 

REPLY:

Table 6.4 – Six Year Cycle Plan includes the Camac Greenway/7C.  This proposed route links Corkagh Park to Grand Canal via Clondalkin.  The route through Clondalkin is shown in the Book of Maps, and is reflective of that shown within the Greater Dublin Area Cycle Network Plan (2013) produced by the NTA.  The proposed route from Clondalkin Town Centre closely follows the Camac River (starting at Orchard Road) to the north of the Áras Chrónáin Irish Cultural Centre and adjacent to Watery Lane. This route will be included in a programme to be agreed with the National Transport Authority for inclusion in 2018 and the final route will be the subject to route section, detailed design and public consultation.
