Vernon Avenue to Clontarf Road Active Travel Scheme
This scheme aims to enhance walking and cycling facilities along a 600 metre route as part of Dublin City Council's Active Travel programme. This scheme is currently in the Concept Development and Option Selection phase.
This proposed scheme will span 600 metres from the junction of Vernon Avenue and Seafield Road to the Clontarf Road seafront. It aims to enhance pedestrian and cyclist facilities along the route. It will also improve the public realm and foster urban greening.
The proposed scheme will provide safer crossings, better access, dedicated cycling facilities and improved connectivity to the cycling network. Additionally, it aims to create more civic plazas, integrate sustainable urban drainage systems, enhance biodiversity and improve urban landscapes and habitats.
This scheme connects with the Gracefield Road to Vernon Avenue Active Travel Scheme, which will deliver protected cycle tracks and improvements for pedestrians over a 2.5km route along Gracefield Road, Brookwood Avenue, Sybill Hill Road and the northern section of Vernon Avenue.
These two schemes are part of Dublin City Council's Active Travel Network. You can view our interactive map to see where they fit into the planned citywide network.
Early stage consultation workshops for this scheme were held with key stakeholders at the end of 2024. There will be further consultations, including a public session, as the scheme moves forward.
