Details of the proposed Hartstown Road Protected Cycle Lanes.

What is proposed?

Upgrading the existing cycle lanes on Hartstown Road and Mountview Road by providing a new kerb to protect cyclists from vehicular traffic.

Why?

Now more than ever, we need more people to choose cycling and walking for local and commuting trips;

Cycle tracks physically separated from traffic and pedestrians by kerbs is what people want to encourage them to cycle more; and

Recent surveys show 72% of residents in Fingal support building more protected on-road cycle lanes even if means less room for other road traffic.

Where is the scheme?

Protected cycle facilities on both sides of Hartstown Road, Mountview Road and Huntstown Way from Blanchardstown Road South junction to Huntstown Way/Blakestown Road junction – a distance of 3 kilometres.

How will it be built?

A raised concrete separator kerb will be installed between the traffic lanes and cycle lane on both sides of the carriageway;

The kerbs will be dropped to carriageway level to allow for access to side roads, bus stops, and for drainage; and during and after construction, access will be maintained to all properties and residences along the route.

Commencement Date:

Works will commence on the 12th of October 2020 for a period of 8 weeks.
