Gerard O'Brien
Summary of Submission and Observation:
The submission makes the following specific points: •
A cycle path will inevitably create a short cut between two populous areas so that it will be reasonable to expect a high volume of cycle traffic through the park, both motorised and pedal power. This creates a conflict with the ethos of a park which should be a place of relaxation and retreat in a safe environment. • Cycle lane would be dangerous for pedestrians given limited amount of land available at certain points through the park. • The gradient and narrowness of existing paths through the park is not suitable for cycling and would present a further safety conflict between pedestrians and cyclists.
