Feltrim Road Active Travel Scheme

Fingal County Council is developing an Active Travel Scheme for the Mountgorry Way and Feltrim Road area to support and encourage active travel. This webpage will be updated throughout the course of the project.

Scheme Objectives

This scheme will provide improvements to support and encourage members of the public to use active travel modes such as walking, wheeling, cycling and scooting for short distance journeys and will improve access to public transport for longer journeys. Another objective is to pinpoint the areas of the scheme where placemaking and public realm opportunities can be integrated into the active travel solutions to further enhance the overall experience and opportunities created by active travel infrastructure.

Why is this scheme Important?

Fingal County Council is committed to creating well-serviced and well-connected communities with reduced travel distances between home, work, education, and services that allow more people to undertake local journeys actively. This supports the health and well-being of residents and supports climate action by reducing vehicle emissions. The council is also committed to enhancing and developing Fingal’s inherent sense of place, identity, and character, ensuring that individual communities remain distinctive and improving the quality of life for residents. The Council is also committed to ensuring that these improvements to local neighbourhoods are inclusive and cater to all abilities, genders, and age groups including children, older people, and people with a range of disabilities.

Current Stage: Stage 3 – Developing Designs 

We are currently developing the ‘Preliminary Design’ of the preferred option identified at the previous stage. 

Previous Stage: Stage 2 – Developing Options 

In Stage 2, we developed options for the scheme that includes:

  • Suitable junction upgrades,
  • Appropriate cycling and walking facilities along the route,
  • Assessment of crossing requirements for pedestrians and cyclists across the route,
  • Opportunities for upgrades to bus stops, public realm spaces and landscaping enhancements,
  • Explored placemaking initiatives along Feltrim Road and assessed opportunities to enhance community engagement, mobility, and local identity.

Additionally, we met with key stakeholders in the area such as the local schools and public transport providers. 

Previous Stage: Stage 1 - Understanding the area

Reviewing Feedback

The project team built an understanding of active movement around the Feltrim Road and Mountgorry Way. They did this through mapping and travel survey data, but they also gathered the community's experience and opinions on:

  • the current way that people travel around the surrounding area;
  • the existing active travel infrastructure;
  • the destinations people are travelling to and from to meet their daily needs;
  • the barriers that different people experience to travelling more actively; and
  • opinions on opportunities to enhance existing linkages, create new routes and create new public spaces.

The community gave their feedback in this first stage in two ways:

  1. In person at our information session held from in the Riasc Centre between 3pm and 8pm on Thursday 28 November 2024;
  2. Through an online survey on this website, which was open until 6 December 2024. 

Public Consultation 1 Report

The feedback from both the online survey on this website, and the information session in the Riasc Centre between 3pm and 8pm on Thursday 28 November 2024, has been complied into a Public Consultation 1 Report.
