S2S Cycleway - northside

mrcheez

According to http://www.clontarf.ie/news/s2s-cycleway-information-meeting works must begin before the summer as otherwise it'll be shelved for another year.

So by my reckoning we should start to see some builders in the area in the next month or so.

Anyone got an update on whether this is starting this year?

I'm not thrilled about the change to the bike lane either but that's a terrible attitude.

My point is that the changes to the bike lane will make absolutely no difference to the existing state.

People will certainly continue to use it as they always have.

Agreed.

Most folks on here (me included) would expect drivers to put our safety as first priority regardless of the rights and wrongs of a given situation. People on bikes need to pay the same respect and courtesy onward to people on foot.

Then maybe that's the point.

It's not a segregated bike lane but some people think it can be treated as such, and that a little line of paint absolves them of responsibility to other park users

Morning commute through the park past 2 days had the same number of cyclists / pedestrians. No change, nor will this change.

Those that walk their dogs on the cycle-side will continue to do so as they always have.

No problem in Holland.

"Legal requirements for your bicycle
Is a bicycle bell compulsory?
Yes, a bicycle bell is compulsory on every bike. Other traffic users have to be able to hear it at a distance of 25 metres. You’re not likely to be fined if your bicycle bell does not meet the requirements, but a good bell does make it easier to pass other traffic on narrow and busy roads."

so the baldoyle-portmarnock footpath/cycle way is open?

Pretty sure that's the path at the top of Paddy's hill. Not the cycleway.

Looks like this former dirt track.

Nice bit of rain recently...

Is that the approach to the Portmarnock roundabout?

Yes it's the northern end facing away from the roundabout.

Not my photos btw, taken from Facebook.

Any way to report the poor condition of the cycle path at Fairview park?

It's covered in fallen leaves and with all the rain they are sticking to the path and turning into slippy mush, very dangerous if you go for your brakes or turn in too quick...

passed by today - looked like they might have had a pump running, but possibly was just a generator. i joined the road from moyne road, so would have been just north of that.

Had accident on that stretch due to leaves. Once bitten twice shy. I now go through the park as they seem to pay more attention to clearing that than the cycle lane or along the road if it's quiet.

Coastal greenway delayed as contractor hits drains and causes flooding

What's concerning about this issue is that the council commissioned a construction company to build this path in a flood plain area without drainage being fully considered...
Now they can't start work again until April?

mathie

Is it still possible to walk along where the track is going to be or is it an inactive construction site?

cdaly_

It's fenced off as a construction site.

Cycled the once flooded section a few weeks ago as the barrier was open at the Portmarnock end. It's great but, after meeting a few guys working, I decided it's not really fair on them if they get a rollicking from the Health & Safety supervisor. Skipped the longer southern section though it looked very inviting.

NeedMoreGears

The contractor was working this morning on the Baldoyle-Portmarnock cycleway at the Moyne road crossing. Are they working around the restricted areas or maybe the restrictions are not in place yet???

cdaly_

I'm presuming the restrictions apply to the green areas but not to road junctions.

Nice to see the pretty severe ramp on the road at the Portmarnock end. That should make rejoining the road somewhat easier.

The track lights are going in, the crossings are being prepared for the traffic lights to go in.

Its expected that the track will be ready to go very soon and the flood works will happen later in the year

As far as I know they can't start digging out the drains until April due to wildlife

i did cycle parts of it during the holidays, and love it. Cant wait to see it open for all public!

Sometimes I think I'm past being amazed ...
At the entrance to fairview park 'care and share' path some genius has decided to plonk a great big planting box. So you swing through the antique gate (if they bothered to open it that morning) negotiating the usual layer of slick leaves that they leave there and within five or six feet there's a huge wooden box taking up about half the shared path which you have to swing around again. If this morning was frosty I think I'd definitely have come off.
I wonder is it deliberate in order to slow down cyclists?
