MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 22, 2018

QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell, Councillor P. Gogarty, Councillor L. O'Toole, Councillor E. O'Brien, Councillor V. Casserly

"To ask will the Chief Executive please indicate when the road markings to protect cyclists will be provided on that part of the Liffey Valley Greenway which lies along the Old Lucan Road in Palmerstown Village? Will he indicate whether the cycleway will be provided exclusively on the existing roadway or is it proposed that some or all of it will encroach on existing pathways?

REPLY:

In a site inspection of this site, it was noted that both the volume and speed of traffic was low. Therefore, using the National Cycle Manual, a shared street arrangement, where cyclists share with general traffic, would be the most appropriate facility in this case. If a cycle lane was installed this would mean that the existing parallel parking would need to be removed.
