MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive to report on the feasibility of completing the cycle lane on Castle Road, between Colthurst and Ballyowen Shopping Centre and whether a cycle lane can be place on the opposite side of the road.

REPLY:

We will exaimine the possibility of extending the existing cycle facility from Ballyowen SC to Colthurst (on the Northern side of Castle Road), if a route is possible and the NTA agree to provide the funding, we would aim to carry out that work by early 2023.

There is insufficient space on the Southern side of Castle Road to provide an off road cycle facility, so we will examine if there is sufficient road width available to re-allocate some of that road space to a new cycle facility on that side of the road.
