Summarization
There is an effort to create a potential future cycling and walking link to the Phoenix Park from the Silver Bridge, which was removed in the 1970s. There is an initiative to switch to eBike or cargo bike instead of cars, as well as to use bike-share schemes to capture this initiative. It is suggested to address illegal cycling on footpaths and make access between Carrickmines Retail Park and the Luas better. There is also a Patrick's Day cycle from Bangor to Broadstone and a possible 10 tonnes CO2 avoidance in DLRCC by 2022. Furthermore, people are invited to join a local BUG and Space4cycling is suggested to represent cycling city wide. Additionally, it is noted the Royal Canal is closed for pedestrians and cyclists and bicycle parking in Celtic Park is questioned. Finally, Slow Roll is mentioned as a great way to meet, get involved, and get active, as well as to use step-through bikes for both boys and girls.

| 1626671445618089986 | @JamieRohu @SandyfordBID @dublincycling @DublinCommuters @Greenaer @dlrcycling @Luas Agreed it makes access between Carrickmines Retail Park and the Luas much better but the design is hopeless unfortunately. It seems that our traffic department are insisting on redesigning it as part of a future phase that's in planning at the moment. | 5 |

The absence of a local BUG shouldn't be a hindrance. In fact most BUGs started with just one motivated person in the area. | 4 |
