Interim Walking & Cycling Schemes
Interim Walking & Cycling schemes are proposed to be implemented along a number of routes within the Active Travel Network. These schemes will be implemented over the next two to three years and will remain in place until the permanent ones are delivered. Constraints assessment will be carried out on all the routes to assess which ones are suitable for interim measures. Some interim schemes will encompass the entire length of the proposed route, whilst others will only comprise of sections due to site constraints.
The schemes will provide different interim measures such as new road markings and protection using kerbs and bollards. There may be changes to traffic layout and improvements for pedestrians with new signalised crossings and narrowing of side roads to facilitate safer crossing of junctions.
Fourteen interim walking and cycling schemes are currently underway in various stage of progression.
Interim Cycling measures have been installed at a number of sections along the Liffey Corridor between Heuston Station and O’Connell Bridge. Further interim measures are proposed along:
- Eden Quay (0.25km section) from O’ Connell Bridge to Butt Bridge/Beresford Place. Installation works are proposed to commence early 2023. Eden Quay Drawings
- Georges's Quay, Burgh Quay, Aston Quay and Crampton Quay ( 0.8km) from Talbot Memorial Bridge to Ha’penny Bridge. Installation works are proposed to commence in 2023.
A 1.8km interim walking and cycling scheme is proposed along Grand Canal View, St. James Liner Park, James Walk, Forbes Lane, Marrowbone Lane and Thomas Court. This scheme design was published on the Dublin City Council Public Consultation Hub in October and a Public Information Day was held on 24th November 2022 in the F2 Fatima Centre, Rialto. The deadline for submissions closed on 2nd December 2022.
We are currently reviewing feedback and comments received and a Public Consultation Report is being prepared.
