Summary of Submission and Observation:
Submission in support of the Lee to Sea Greenway. The submission raises the following issues:
• City Council is to be commended for the huge improvements in walking and cycling infrastructure in the city over the past 2 years in particular. The focus now needs to shift towards providing continuous cycle routes by linking the existing network. Major artery routes need to be of high quality and segregated by hard infrastructure (kerbing, etc). A clear map needs to be provided for what routes will be delivered over the lifetime of the City Development Plan.
• Lee to Sea Greenway (L2S) to be identified as a specific objective in the Transport Chapter, Chapter 4. (Please pass to people dealing with Chapter 4 along with rational below which is relevant for this chapter also)
