390. Deputy Emer Currie asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation for an update on the Office of Public Works plans to submit a planning application for segregated cycle lanes and pedestrian crossing points along Chesterfield Avenue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [63691/25]
View answerThe Office of Public Works is working with the National Transport Authority and Dublin City Council to advance plans for permanent segregated cycle lanes and pedestrian crossing points along Chesterfield Avenue in the Phoenix Park. The Chesterfield Avenue Active Travel Project will enhance the Phoenix Park with safer and better facilities for pedestrians, cyclists, and park users, with the new infrastructure along the full length of Chesterfield Avenue.
The Chesterfield Avenue Active Travel Project is being managed by the Dublin City Council Active Travel Programme Office. The project is currently at Concept Development and Option Selection as set out in the National Transport Authorities Project Approval Guidelines.
The appropriate process for Planning/Statutory Processes has not been determined. The outcome of the appropriate assessment screening and environmental impact assessment screening of the final emerging preferred option, will determine the method and timeline for a planning submission.
