QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor D. Ó Brádaigh

To ask the manager for an update on the Canal Loop Urban Greenway cycle project works timeline, and if there has been any development toward Phase 2 of this project that will explore a connection to St Catherine's Park via Vesey Park in the Summer of 2023 as indicated per previous responses provided?

REPLY:

The SDCC Canal Loop project teams have been working with the Fingal County Council Canal Loop project team in order to develop a coherent network. A memorandum of understanding for collaboration for this phase was agreed upon in Q1 of 2023, and a brief for the Options Selection Process and Concept Design of Phase 2 of the Canal Loop was developed. 

A consultant was appointed in May 2023 and is expected to have an options report ready for informal public consultation by Q3 2023.
