Fingal County Council is in the process of developing plans for the Royal Canal Urban Greenway, a proposed high quality, peaceful and safe Greenway route which will serve Castleknock, Blanchardstown, Clonsilla, Coolmine and the wider Dublin 15 area.
The proposed Urban Greenway will encourage recreation while offering an attractive alternative transport choice for school children and commuters, bringing significant environmental, economic and health benefits to the wider community.
Conscious of the special place that the Royal Canal holds within the community, and its designation as a protected structure, the Urban Greenway aims to protect and enhance the existing environment along the corridor.

Over 590 submissions were received (https://consult.fingal.ie/en/consultation/royal-canal-urban-greenway-public-engagement ) and the observations they contained have been taken into consideration as we move forward with this scheme.
