Chapter 6: Connectivity and Movement

Our group warmly welcome plans to decarbonise motorised transport, reduce reliance on the private car and facilitate modal shift to walking, cycling and public transport. Particularly welcome and encouraged aspects of this chapter include plans to create slow tourist trails, “Safe Routes to School”, the concept of a 15 minute town, the creation and operation of mobility hubs, car clubs and car-sharing schemes, all of which will lead to an overall reduction of car volumes on roads across Fingal and facilitate safer cycling options. Lack of safety is currently a significant deterrent for people to shift to cycling (where cycling is possible for their commute / trip) and needs to be addressed via all the mechanisms outlined urgently. This will only be achievable if there is a parallel significant reduction in the volume of cars on the roads.
