Almost €53m in funding to Dublin City Council for cycling, walking and other active travel schemes

24th January, 2022

Your Government, through the National Transport Authority is allocating €289m in funding for local authorities across the country to support the delivery of new and better walking and cycling schemes. Dublin City Council will receive almost €53m in funding.

 

Dublin Central is set to benefit from investment of €29.2m for the delivery of specific cycling and walking projects as well as from city-wide funding for initiatives that will benefit local communities here. Some of the projects involved include €7.5m for the initial works associated with the Clontarf to City Centre project, an additional €2.2m for the completion of Phases 3 and 4 of the Royal Canal Greenway between the North Strand and Ashtown through Phibsborough and Cabra. In addition, this investment will Dublin City Council to begin the initial design and preparatory work associated with new cycling schemes along the North Circular Road, another linking Drumcondra with Parnell Street, the Tolka Greenway and advancement of the Point Junction Improvement Scheme.

 

I am particularly happy to confirm that the schools participating in Phase 1 of our new Safe Routes to School Programme will also benefit. With 170 schools nationwide, currently progressing plans customised to their specific needs and challenges, the Safe Routes to School Programme is delivering infrastructure on the route to and in front of our schools making it easier for children, parents and teachers to safely walk, cycle and scoot to school every day.
