COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE/FIRHOUSE/BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

That the Manager presents a report on the new cycle lane opposite St. MacDaras Secondary School in Templeogue, specifically responding to reports that it is too narrow.

REPORT:

The temporary cycle lane provided made the best use of available road space without specifically marginalising any mode of transport.

In general the Council provided 6m of road space for buses and cars and the remaining space is dedicated to cycling. This width does vary in places.

The Council could  have provided a continuous 1m width for cyclists with car lanes varying in width from 3.0 yo 3.6m in places but a decision was made to maximise cycle rather than bus/car space.
