As a cyclist I would prefer to cycle along the quays. But the fact that there is planning permission for a new development along the proposed alternative route for the buses will make it more difficult to keep a dedicated cycle lane along the quays.

I think the traffic on the quays should be reduced and a lane provided for cycling/walking and the potential of planting trees right the way up along the Liffey from Heuston to the sea should be investigated.

I have not been heavily involved in this issue but if possible I would like it kept on Quays..that is a qualified yes as I do not have all the facts. What I want primarily is a safe cycle route.

It appears to be the route most favoured by cyclists, and we should prioritise facilitating cyclists and pedestrians on main routes in the city.

It doesn't make sense to take the route off the quays. There are too many resident and business against this plan and a building was given planning permission on the route that it was proposed to take. The practicality of keeping it on the quays out ways the unpractical plan to take it in and around Smithfield.

Far superior amenity. Extending Croppies Acre to Quay wall worth doing for own sake.

I didn't support this option in the original submission stage. I want to see this project happen sooner rather than later but I feel this proposal will delay things due to the proposed extension of Cropped Acre (only just re opened) and the re routing of buses up Benburb Street. I believe the overall costs of this particular proposal will be a hindrance to anything happening. We need to ensure that we develop a route that is effective and safe for all transport modes and is one that can be delivered. Option 5 offered by the Council could be a better option.

The problem is that at Liam Mellows bridge where the road width reduces to around 10m. This allows space for footpaths, a two way bike lane, a bus lane, a car lane but not all four. If we divert buses or cars off the Quays there will be noise and pollution problems on Benburb Street. We may also have real difficulties if we divert buses back down Queen Street on to the Quays as the corner is very tight for them to turn left back onto the Quays. I'm also not convinced that extending the Croppies Acre park to the quayside is the best solution as it would mean building a new road alongside the Luas tracks. I've blogged about this previously. I'd be happy to meet up on site to have a look at the issue if you were free at some stage. It is a very thorny problem to solve and i would welcome any additional insights that you may have.

I would hope that whatever route is proposed/chosen will be one that best caters for the needs of cyclists in terms of safety etc but also considers the needs of motorists.I will examine all options and make my decision based on facts presented but also taking account of the public views.

The City needs to attract footfall from all sections in order to compete with free car parks in outher City Shopping centres I am very worried the City will die like so many other City Centres until we have good public transport we need to ensure we don`t lose this very valuable section of the community.

As a councillor, I represent cyclists, pedestrians, public transport users, people who are elderly and or mobility impaired, local residents and motorist. Therefore until all of the technical details are worked out I am not in a position to complete any survey.
