At the Area Operations Meeting Councillor Rob O’Donoghue warmly welcomed the inclusion of funding to be spent on road and active travel infrastructure in the coming calendar year in the Lusk area. He commented, ‘I am delighted with that the works that have been included and will be pushing for other areas in the town that need attention to be considered for upgrade through other funding streams.’ Works listed under the 2022 Programme of Works include footpath upgrades at Treen Hill and Dun Emer, road resurfacing of Hannah’s Avenue, drainage works on Ministers Road/Hands Lane, lighting on Hands Lane and the installation of additional footpaths through the Orlynn Park Green Space. In addition, over €500k has been earmarked through the Capital Roads Programme for the upgrading of the R132 and as part of the NTA’s Allocation for Active Travel Projects, Ministers Road to Blakes Cross and Kilhedge Lane have had funding allocated for the construction of new protected cycle lanes and Safe Routes to School at Corduff National School. Cllr O’Donoghue stated that ‘detailed design has been carried out on this stretch of cycleway and this design is currently under review by our Active Travel Engineering Team in FCC. I am pleased to see that this project is included on our works programme for delivery later this year.’
