    There is issue with the drainage and it won't be signed off, nor will the contractors be paid until it's rectified. ESB won't connect the lights until it's signed off on, and it won't officially be open until ESB connect the lights.

    it was drained over the weekend and I believe it's now passable. I'm taking a spin at lunch and will revert.

    Social distancing ? Maybe it was too crowded.

    i was out on saturday, probably 1 person on the road for every 30 or so on the track. any of the following reasons

    the track is too narrow and it was full of families so if you are in a group and want to maintain speed on a day like yesteday you'll stay on the road
    its not obvious thats it open as the fences are all still up (its not actually officially open anywya)
    its not signposted at all so if you miss it, you cant just jump back on
    word of the flooding is well known so people dont bother going on, just to have to turn back around halfway

    Yes, it was fine yesterday. There were a good few people walking and cycling on it. I didn't spot any bikes on the road. There were long tailbacks on the road anyway.

    Just back in. Lovely now it's cleared. Still a bit bit crap getting on/off, but much better than the road, thats for sure.

    The bit that was flooded had a bit of loose gravel on it, but it was fine.

    This officially opened in the last few weeks.

    It appears to be very busy.

    Does anybody feel this is very dangerous at the end of each segment when it joins with the road, there is some signage but i think more significant barriers should be erected to prevent a child or adult cycling, scooting straight out onto a busy road. Feels an accident waiting to happen.

    Baldoyle side of it is very poor. Trying to go south, from the Greenway to the other side of the road is a very poor design.

    I think the portmarnock end for cycling isnt the safest. You come off the track just beyond a bend in the road and then have to try get into position for a roundabout and on trying to get onto it from portmarnock you have a narrow path and roadway to stop on before trying to cross traffic
