MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 22, 2022

MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor Derren Ó Brádaigh

That this committee support a continuation of the incomplete section of cycle path along the east side of the Fonthill Road, from the intersection at the Ninth Lock & Thomas Omer Rd, leading up as far as the Fonthill train station.

REPORT:

This section of cycle track forms part of Route 15 and is listed on the 'Soon' list of schemes on the Cycle South Dublin Programme (CySD). The National Transport Authority (NTA) has provided €50,000 in 2022 funding to initiate the design works for a cycle track between the N4 and Ronanstown. When designed and constructed, this proposed scheme will ensure that the existing cycle tracks, such as those on the Fonthill Road, are connected into the new scheme and fully incorporated into the CySD Network.

An update on the design progress will be brought to the Area Committee once a designer is appointed and a preliminary design options report is available.
