MOTION NO.1

MOTION: Councillor E. Murphy

That South Dublin County Council consider the installation of a Learn to Cycle track in one of our parks in South Dublin, similar to the track recently installed by Waterford County Council in Dungarvan. A Learn to Cycle track is a specific space which will allow young children to learn to cycle on a ‘real life’ road structure with lines, signs and pedestrian crossings without the traffic.

REPORT:

LUPT in partnership with EWCC intend installing a Learn to Cycle track in one of our parks in South Dublin.We have been in contact with the team in Waterford County Council and are currently considering the design for a similar facility in this county. The Learn to Cycle park will include appropriate surfacing, road markings, signage and crossings and will give people who are learning to cycle, good experience in a less trafficked environment. The Council is at site selection and budget estimate stage and the project proposal will be brought to the relevant area committee in Q4 2022.
