HEADED ITEM NO. 6

NTA Allocation 2018

The Rathfarnham, Templeogue and Terenure area has been the beneficiary of funding allocation by the NTA for the following schemes for 2018:

• Dodder Regional cycle route                                                                                    €300,000

The Dodder Scheme went through a Part VIII process in 2017 and was approved at the October County Council Meeting. The allocation granted will be used to employ consultants to carry out the detailed design and tender documents. At the moment Tenders are being sought for the procurement of the Consultants.

• Tallaght to Ballyboden walking and cycling route (Scholarstown)                         €350,000

Currently discussions are taking place with the lowest Tenderer. In addition, further discussions will need to take place with the NTA as the current allocation is insufficient to complete the scheme. If agreement on funding transfer can be agreed then it is hoped a Contractor could commence works on site early May 2018 and completion expected in Autumn 2018.

• Green Schools Cluster – Ballyboden                                                                       €250,000

The Part VIII was submitted at the June County Council Meeting 2016. Phase 1 was substantially completed in 2017. The current allocation should facilitate completion of the scheme. Tenders for the Works will commence once final agreement has been reached with the NTA. It is hoped that procurement of the Contractor could commence May 2018.

• Spawell to Perrystown cycle route (Wellington Lane)                                           €100,000

The allocation received will be used to employ consultants to carry out the preliminary design. It is expected that the Part VIII process will commence late Summer 2018 and be completed by end 2018.

• Grange Road cycle route                                                                                         €700,000

Grange Road cycle route went through a Part VIII process in 2017 and was approved at the October County Council Meeting. The allocation will be used to employ Consultants to carry out the detailed design and tender documents. It is hoped to tender for the Works in late 2018.
