MOTION NO. 15

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

That this Area Committee request an update on cycle lanes outside scoil aine rathcoole and also on greenogue road to rathcoole?

REPORT:

Cycle South Dublin (CySD) is a programme of work that reflects the increasing importance of making cycling a realistic and integral part of how people move around the County. It proposes a set of 45 routes that would deliver over 260km of new and improved cycle lanes over the next ten years. A dedicated team has been established to project manage and administer each project on the Cycle South Dublin Programme.

The Cycle South Dublin (CySD) Programme illustrates the planned cycle facilities, including Greenways, planned over the next 8 years.

Full details of the CySD programme are available on our website at; https://www.sdcc.ie/en/active-travel/

Route 20, which will link Rathcoole to Newcastle, is listed in the "Later" category of projects, meaning that it is intended to progress that project within the next 5 years, resources permitting.

There are no proposals close to Gaelscoil Chrónáin in Rathcoole. In addition to the routes listed on the CySD programme, the National Transport Authority provides funding for works to be carried out on the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programme. Schools that have applied to the SRTS programme will be prioritised for interventions using that funding. Schools that are close to CySD routes being progressed will be incorporated those routes.
