QUESTION NO.8

QUESTION: Councillor Peter Kavanagh

To ask the Chief Executive if he will provide an update on the planned & promised walkway from Clondalkin village to the Grand Canal along the Camac River near Watery Lane?

REPLY:

The cycle route from Clondalkin Village to the Grand Canal forms part of the Cycle South Dublin Route 3, Corkagh Park to the Grand Canal.

Route 3 is listed on the "Soon" schemes on Cycle South Dublin, which means that it is programmed to be progressed within the next 5 years.

SDCC sought 2022 funding from the National Transport Authority (NTA) to accelerate delivery of this project and for the design process to be initiated in 2022. That funding application was unsuccessful, however the SDCC Active Travel team requested a review and are currently in discussions with the NTA in relation to initiaiting the project and in relation to them funding a part of the overall route that passes through Corkagh Park. It is anticiapted that the Public Realm section will tender for contractors to commence works within Corkagh Park this year.
