-- No, the project is not just a cycle lane: It adds accessibility and safety measures. -- Saying you're all for safety and active travel while outright objecting to them makes no sense. -- Objecting to cycle paths on main roads should be seen the same as objecting to footpaths.

-- Including retirement in the tail of a dying street is "very disingenuous", says local group.-- TD says he "likes to see cycle lanes" and he cycles but complains of construction speed. Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín, a Meath TD, has claimed cycle lanes are "massive and taking over the streets" of Navan town when none of the cycle paths installed in the town is normally sized, and local campaigners say that only 1km of dedicated cycle lane schemes have been built in over a decade and another 1km or so is being built.

-- "Strong opposition and real trepidation," "safety concerns" and "concerns around anti-social behaviour", says residents group. A Limerick City councillor, Cllr Elisa O'Donovan (Social Democrats), has said, "No public consultation took place before the proposal was published", after she and other councillors asked for progress on an active travel project to be delayed until September. Nationally, such plans are usually published when consultation starts.

A spokesperson for Dublin City Council said: “Options for a cycle route on Strand Road are being considered. An update, once available, will be presented to the south east area councillors.&#…
