Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 October 2017
485. Deputy Catherine Martin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if funding is being provided for enhancing cycling routes along the Navan road from the Ashtown roundabout to the quays; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43850/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs part of the Bus Connects bus network transformation programme, I have secured significant funding to construct a number of high quality Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) schemes across the Greater Dublin Area. One of these schemes, the Blanchardstown-UCD BRT, is planned to run along the Navan Road route corridor between Dublin City and Blanchardstown. The proposed scheme is currently at design stage and the scheme will be developed taking the needs of cyclists, pedestrians and all other road users into account.
I have referred this question to the NTA for direct reply as it will be able to provide more detailed information on the current status of the Blanchardstown-UCD BRT proposals. Please advise my private office if a response is not received within 10 working days.
The deferred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
