QUESTION NO. 19

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask Chief Executive to map out where all the bike parks are located in the Lucan area, to include how many we have in the area, and what plans are in the new canal loop to introduce new ones and where?

REPLY:

The Active Travel Team have developed a new website Active Travel - SDCC, which outlines how South Dublin County Council through its Active Travel programme will pursue the development and delivery of high-quality walking and cycling facilities for use by people of all age groups in our every-day travel.

The website includes GIS mapping which can be accessed using this link; South Dublin County Council: Cycle Map (activetravelmap.co.uk) On that mapping there is a facility to toggle on/off  the locations of the bike stands around the county. Following a call out to schools and sports clubs, we are currently installing cycle stands across the county. The locations of these new stands will be added to the GIS mapping as they get completed.

Detailed design for the Canal Urban Greenway is being developed, we are going to determine where and how many cycle parking locations will be installed during detailed design process. It is intended to provide a significant level of cycle parking at key points along the route, including within the park, the locations of which we will agree with Public Realm. It is also intended to install bike repair/maintenance stations at regular intervals along the route.
