The new cycle route in Sandymount will start in January, despite some locals objecting to it.
The City Council says the alternative proposal by residents was not viable, and the National Transport Authority would not provide funding for it.
The Strand Road cycle route will involve cutting traffic down to one in lane some parts to allow for a two-way cycle track.
The City Council says work will now continue in preparation for the trial in January 2021.
This includes:
- Establishing a Forum for stakeholders to be chaired by the Lord Mayor, which will hold its first meeting late November.
- Undertaking speed and traffic count surveys.
- Considering various measures to mitigate the impacts of diverted traffic.
- Preparing an information campaign for people affected by the trial.
- Ensuring that advance notification and signage are in place prior to start of trial
It will go ahead on the 15th of January as a six-month trial.
