QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

"To ask the Chief Executive to give an update on the feasibility study undertaken to identify a possible route for a "looped Greenway" between the 12th Lock of the Grand Canal and the Royal Canal."

REPLY:

Consultant Engineers have been appointed to assess the potential routes between the 12th lock on the Grand Canal and the 12th Lock on the Royal Canal, and make recommendations that can be brought to the public consultation stage.

They have conducted traffic counts and parking survey and are using these to inform the potential route options. An examination of the potential costs of the route options will then be priced to assess if the scheme is feasible.

It is envisaged that this feasibility phase will be completed by the end of April 2019.
