dlr Residents Invited To Shape Active Travel Scheme

Members of the public within the Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council area have been urged to have their say on an Active Travel scheme design proposed on Glenageary Road Upper.

The Co Dublin scheme proposes Active Travel Improvements on Glenageary Road Upper between the Sallynoggin and Killiney Towers Roundabouts.

Works include the merging of the existing cycle facilities into a two way cycle facility on the north (sea) side of Glenageary Road Upper. It is also proposed to physically segregate the two way cycle facility from the vehicular lanes.


The left turn slip lane from Glenageary Road Upper onto Glenageary Road Lower is being removed and replaced with the two way cycle facility. Traffic counts at this junction noted that this left turn movement is low volume (1.65% of vehicles at this junction) and its removal won't impact the capacity of the junction. The existing island is being modified to provide an overrun area for larger vehicles.

A new toucan crossing of Glenageary Road Lower is proposed to provide a safe and segregated option for pedestrians and cyclists.

Side road junctions along Glenageary Road Upper are being narrowed in line with the recommendations in DMURS and additional green areas provided where possible.

A new toucan crossing is proposed at Rathdown School to cater for school children walking and cycling to the school.
