We need you to contact your councillors & ask them to support the proposed interim safety measures
Yesterday Dublin City Council published a report which recommended the implementation of interim cycle safety measures along the Liffey Quays ahead of the construction of the permanent Liffey Cycle Route. This would involve the installation of temporary measures such as bollards, road markings, orcas and signal changes. The Council Executive estimates the interim cycle route could be in place by August of this year.
The report will be put to Dublin City Councillors for approval at the next monthly Council meeting which takes place next Monday 2nd March at 6.30pm.
Dublin Cycling Campaign is supportive of the proposal and we are asking our members and supporters to contact their local Councillors ahead of next Monday’s Council meeting and ask them to support the proposal.
It is important to note that these are only an interim measures - it is not the final Liffey Cycle Route! These interim measures are not perfect but they will bring substantial safety benefits. The permanent Liffey Cycle Route is not predicted to be completed until at least 2024, mainly due to the complexity of the proposed project: New boardwalks, dealing with historic quay walls & bridges, lengthy planning process etc.
Follow the link below to find your local councillors' contact details, and please contact them before next Monday's meeting and ask them to support the proposed interim safety measures.
