Feedback wanted on plan for “cycle network for Ireland” by Friday deadline

— CycleConnects will classify routes and influence what projects are funded first.

Public consultation on CycleConnects — a plan for what the National Transport Authority calls a “comprehensive cycle network for Ireland” — is due to end tomorrow, Friday, November 18, 2022.

...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...

The extended deadline allows people to reply up to 11:59pm on Friday night online at consult.nationaltransport.ie or by emailing activetravel@nationaltransport.ie.

The network plan consultation covers areas outside of the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) —Dublin, Meath, Kildare, and Wicklow — which already has a network plan which was subject to consultation recently.

The consultation page shows a draft of route maps across Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, as well as larger towns across and rural areas in counties outside the GDA.

...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
