MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, March 25, 2024

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor P. Holohan

how much money was spent on the previous cycle track project in the Tallaght area ?

REPLY:

The photograph submitted as part of this question shows an image of the cycletrack along the western side of Whitestown Way, close to Tallaght Stadium.

Whitestown Way was constructed in 2000/2001. The cycletrack has exceeded the expected design life of the cycletrack surface, which at that time was expected to be 15 to 20 years.

While not directly comparable with todays construction prices, at that time, the approximate direct cost of the cycletrack along that western side was €50,000

The cycletrack has routinely been used by pedestrians, the development of the D24 network along Whitestown Way will provide a new footpath for pedestrians.
