It's pedestrians (joggers/dog-walkers especially) that will take ownership of the new lane... already seeing people using it for this purpose despite the bollards up and I can sort of understand why they think it's for walkers considering the width. I reckon it will be a matter of weeks by the time we hear of the first cyclist caught in a dog-lead on this stretch.

mirrormatrix wrote: » Was up here last night. Seemed to me like, at the arrow where you've written "new path begins". You then have to cross the road to get into the bike lane on the LHS of the road, cycle to the lights, and then cross the road again to get onto the bike lane on the RHS after the causeway road. Is that correct?

DCC have announced that the cyclepath will not open till January and Clontarf Residents Association have pointed out to them that cyclists sharing the narrowed road is dangerous. I know I would use as much of the cyclepath as possible whether it is "open" or not.
