QUESTION NO.9

QUESTION: Councillor S. O'Hara

To ask the Chief Executive to consider a cycle lane from Newcastle to Rathcoole Village via Tay Lane to service the Holy Family Community School in Rathcoole?

REPLY:

The Newcastle to Rathcoole cycle scheme is listed on the "Later" list of projects on the Cycle South Dublin (CySD) Programme of works.

It is anticipated that "Later" projects will be progressed with the next 8 years of the CySD programme. Tay Lane was not identified as the indicative route for that Newcastle to Rathcoole cycle scheme.

We will, however, as part of potential 2023 projects examine the possibilty of providing an interim or rapid deployment cycling facility along Tay Lane.

We have recently launched an Active Travel website; Active Travel - SDCC which contains details of CySD projects and will be updated on a regular basis as projects are developed and constructed.
