The LAP for Clondalkin suggests proposals for cycle lane through Clondalkin village. The council in recent years has progressively narrowed the roads and increased the width of footpaths to allow in many cases for 5-6 people wide walking side by side. That's fine. In many locations around the village the footpath is considerably narrower, eg left side of Monastery Road heading to the village opposite Castle Crescent, requiring pedestrians to walk onto the road if a person and pram, or 2 people are coming towards you. In an ideal planning situation where you are starting from scratch, proper footpaths and cycle lanes and roads and the proximity of buildings to the roads could be allowed for. Clondalkin village with cycle lanes is not it! The ONLY way it might work is to convert the footpath on one side to cycle lanes and the other to walking. Squeezing cycle lanes onto narrow footpaths or narrow roads will NOT WORK. And again, just who is all this aimed for? Not the majority of residents who actually live in Clondalkin, not the paltry few school children who dare to cycle to school and definitely not the many children (u-16) who are unregulated, using unlawful e-bikes and scooters to dangerously defy anyone to stand on a footpath while driving at speed). Put in a cycle lane, it won't be used, but put it one footpath side of the road, not on the road either.
