A Green Party Councillor has rejected the outpouring of criticism against the Clontarf Cycle Lane Scheme.
The Clontarf to City Centre Project is entering a new phase which will see new traffic plans implemented. From Monday, all private traffic heading into the city will be diverted at Fairview Strand, down Ballybough Road and along Portland Row, before rejoining North Strand Road at the Five Lamps.
The project aims to provide 2.7km of segregated cycle lanes, bus priority infrastructure from Clontarf to Amines Street. Works will also be carried out on 100-year-old water mains along the route as well as the construction of public plazas and the plantation of semi-mature trees.
