The Liffey Cycle Route is a Primary Route in the Greater Dublin Area Cycle Network Plan published by the National Transport Authority (NTA) in December 2013, and as such is a key objective of the NTA and Dublin City Council (DCC). It is one of a number of routes being developed by DCC as part of its overall 470km of safer cycling routes suitable for cyclists of all ages and abilities.
The scheme will deliver pedestrian improvements, a high quality cycle route that will meet the requirements of cyclists of varied experience and will provide an optimal balance of provision between the various road users along the route. The design will have particular regard to any engineering, architectural and environmental constraints along the route.
In 2017 DCC and the NTA agreed that the NTA would undertake a review of all design options considered to date and identify any new design options.
In March 2019 the NTA presented an Emerging Preferred Design to DCC.
This Emerging Preferred Design includes the following
• The existing road layout will be reconfigured to provide a one-way segregated cycle track on the north and south quays, located on the building side from the Phoenix Park to O Donovan Rossa Bridge where it then crosses to the river side of the road to Matt Talbot Memorial Bridge,
• Provision of boardwalks at various locations,
• Upgrade of junctions to provide pedestrian and cyclist improvements,
• Public realm improvements and
• Improvements to existing traffic signal operational infrastructure.

This information along with the comments received as part of the non-statutory public consultation will help in fully defining the scope of the scheme. This will form the basis for appointing a design team in Q2 2020.
