Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council proposed to develop the “DLR Connector” walking, cycling and public realm improvement scheme, which would connect neighbourhoods and villages East to West across the county through a safe, accessible and attractive walking and cycling route with public realm and greening improvements.
The consultation took place over several months, from quarter four of 2021 to quarter one of 2022. The ultimate goal of the engagement was to include communities along the route in the design process and gather their ideas, hopes and concerns to be considered in the preliminary design process.
The project survey received 320 total responses from November 2021 to January 2022.
Respondents hailed from across the route area in Dún Laoghaire Rathdown, with neighbourhoods like Barton Rd East / Ballinteer, Monkstown and Deansgrange fielding the highest number of responses.
dlr collaborated with DBFL Consulting Engineers (DBFL) and Connect the Dots to prepare a detailed report which is available on our Active Travel site.
