Meeting today on controversial pilot cycle scheme

Transport Infrastructure Ireland representatives will be at Moone Hall this afternoon from 3pm to explain the rationale behind the pilot cycle lane project on the R448 in the area, writes Brian Byrne. Representatives from the project designers, AECOM, will also attend.

A public meeting at 8pm, hosted by Moone and Timolin Positive Action Group, will discuss the outcomes from the day.

The €1.6 million project has generated profound disquiet in the local community and amongst road users, with descriptions including 'white elephant' and a scheme for 'unicorns'. Everyone with a view or concern is invited to attend at any time in the afternoon.

Specifically, the invitation extends to farming community members from 3pm, haulage and other transport contractors from 4pm, cyclists at 5pm, and local sports clubs from 5.45pm.

All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
