TO WHOM IT CONCERNS
Submission to Greater Dublin Area (GDA) Draft
Transport Strategy 2022-2042.
Cllr Joe Neville
I write further to your call for written submissions or observations on the Draft Transport Strategy 2022-2042 for the Greater Dublin Area which has been prepared by the National Transport Authority.
St Catherine’s Park - I wish that under no circumstances should a road be considered through St Catherine’s Park in The North Kildare/Lucan area. It is a hugely important regional park and any plans for a road here should be immediately dismissed.
Rail Network- Light rail to Kilcock and a plan on Integrating rail planning into Kildare that include planning for appropriate park and ride focus on light rail down towards the Sallins line also.
Bus Services – Policy on increasing capacity and identify express bus routes of support commuters through working with the NTA, Bus Eireann and Dublin Bus for towns in North Kildare
Cycling – Ensure that sustainable travel with cycling is a key feature of the Development plan. This should include planning and the links of segregated cycleways both within and to all towns in Kildare bordering Dublin.
Many thanks for taking on board this high level points,
Regards,
Joe
