692. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the amount spent on building cycle lanes and the kilometre length of cycle lanes that exist, by county or local authority, in tabular form. [45746/15]
View answer693. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the capital development and construction cost, name and location of each cycle greenway. [45747/15]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 692 and 693 together.
The following table outlines the investment amount, name and location of each greenway/cycleway/cyclelane funded by the Sustainable Transport Division of my Department and delivered to date under the National Cycle Network (NCN), Active Travel Towns (ATT), Smarter Travel Demonstration Areas (STA) funding programmes and the Government Stimulus Package - €10 million of which was earmarked for the delivery of greenways. The cycling infrastructure element of the ATTs and the STAs projects is just one element of those projects and it was not possible to extract the cost associated with their delivery within the short timeframe allowed.
These figures do not include the contribution individual local authorities may have made to the cost of delivering projects under these programmes or the projects delivered independently by local authorities or other agencies such as the National Transport Authority, Transport Infrastructure for Ireland or Waterways Ireland.
