      There are no ways of cycling to it. If you were to drive to it, there’s nowhere to park a car. If it is designed for children on bikes, you’ve nowhere to park to take the kids bikes out of the car. *We have received communication from TII to say it’s about trying to gauge and to alter driver behaviour when they interact with a cycle lane like this*

      “One car had €50,000 worth of damage to it.”

      If someone hits a kerb so hard they do 50k worth of damage then they need to be disqualified from driving.

      “The design of the project has taken away the hard shoulder. We’ve had cars and lorries hitting kerbs. One car had €50,000 worth of damage to it”

      The road is still the same, no narrower than before. The 50k damage is purely on the driver if thats to be believed. 50k is a write off of a fairly nice new car.

      This is a road space reallocation project that would make the National Cycle Network more cost effective as it is cheaper to build on regional roads with low traffic than build an entirely new greenway.
      While this wouldn’t be on the National Cycle Network it is just a pilot scheme.
      The failure of the Moone to Timolin Roadspace Reallocation Pilot shows unfortunately national bodies cannot trial new infrastructure without extensive liaison with local communities.

      Normally when I see this sort of article it’s clearly a group of NIMBYs but in this case their reasoning seems sound. Unnecessary expense

      This appears to be built on road which itself was built as a bypass of two villages. That bypass road was then replaced by M9 motorway…………………Surely the old original road would have been a good one for the cycle lane..

      ALso do we really need the lane and pedestrian path on both sides… Surely one side is enough.. Road engineers have hoisted themselves to such high standards that its either existing dangers or full PPP – 100Million airport apron wide construction.. ..

      On the good side, its a pilot, engineersf will use it as trial and feedback for further designs..

      I agree with “local cyclist” Emily-Anne here. Can’t stand bike infrastructure that diverts you into junctions, when you would just go straight on if you stuck to the road.

      Main road traffic should always have priority over side roads, whether it’s bikes or cars
