Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has this week launched the first draft of its Cycle Network Map.

The map is the first of its kind in Ireland and is an important element in the development of the cycle network and in promoting cycling as a viable travel mode. The map brings cohesion to the cycle network and will help cyclists determine the most direct, safest and most efficient route for their journey.

The map is just one element of the County Cycle Network Assessment project, which aims to develop and enhance cycle routes in the County. The project reflects the Council’s commitment to providing high quality facilities for cyclists, thereby increasing the number of people cycling in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown.

The Council is seeking feedback on how this map can be improved or if there are any errors / omissions in this draft. Once the map has been finalised it is intended that a print run would be undertaken and the maps would be available FREE of charge. We welcome and encourage any comments.

The map is available to download on the Councils website,www.dlrcoco.ie.
