The Dunboyne to Clonee Pedestrian and Cycle Network is a network of active travel routes, of approximately 17km in length, within and around the towns of Dunboyne and Clonee.
Upgrade of existing footpaths on approach and within both towns;
New and upgraded crossings to allow pedestrians to access schools, amenities and services easier;
5 km of short pedestrian and cycle links to improve permeability and connectivity between residential areas, public transport, services and amenities;
A Public Realm Scheme for both Clonee and Dunboyne;
6.5 km of new protected cycle track along Summerhill Road, Maynooth Road, Navan Road, Station Road, Rooske Road and Old Navan Road;
6 km of new greenway along the Dunboyne Bypass and Dunboyne Stream;
Upgraded junctions to provide improved safety for all road users;
Traffic calming to slow speeds and reducing through traffic.
Alignment with Government Policy
The transport sector in Ireland is one of the largest contributors to climate change. Modal change from private car journeys to active travel in urban areas therefore holds substantially potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions with knock-on benefits for air quality and public health.
Government policy such as the Climate Action Plan, the National Sustainable Mobility Policy and the National Development Framework support the development of active travel routes to help reduce the carbon footprint of the transport sector. The development of the Dunboyne Pedestrian and Cycle Network will directly contribute to this reduction by providing safe and convenient active travel routes that will encourage the necessary modal shift
Where we are now
The proposed network in currently at Phase 2 Concept and Options Selection stage.
Anticipated Timeline
Next Steps
Once this public consultation period ends, the design team will collect and analyse all of the submissions received. These will be summarised and a report with responses to the various themes raised will be prepared.
Where necessary and appropriate to do so, the Emerging Preferred Options may be modified to reflect the feedback received.
Once the preferred options are finalised, the preliminary design phase will commence where further detail on the exact layout of the scheme will be developed.
Additional liaison with landowners, property owners, residents and businesses etc. will be held throughout this phase and further general public consultations will be held prior to progression into the Statutory Planning Phase and submission of the final planning document, which is currently envisaged to be through a Part 8 planning approval process, in late 2025.
Public Consultation
Meath County Council want to hear from all parts of the community to ensure fair input into the design process.
Details of the proposed network will be available for a period of 4 weeks from the 29th of April to the 24th of May 2024.
Meath County Council will host an in-person consultation event on Wednesday the 15th of May from 2pm to 8pm in the Dunboyne Castle Hotel to present the Emerging Preferred Options.
