KILDARE: Spaces for cargo bikes needed in Naas
Parking spaces are needed in the Naas area for cargo bikes - sturdy bicycles built to carry big loads and maybe two or more people.
Green Party councillor Colm Kenny said that it should be considered as part of the installation of public cycle parking facilities.
He noted that there is now an increased allowance of €3,000 within the bike to work scheme for these bikes.
He also wants signs put up to direct people to where the spaces are.
KCC official Donal Hodgins reported that as part of the installation of public cycle parking facilities, the council will examine options other than conventional bicycles.
“We are engaging with the National Transport Authority and are awaiting their suggestions with regard to a regional approach in the greater Dublin area to cycle sharing and associated infrastructure. Feedback from other local authorities in the area can be sought on trails that have been undertaken by them,” added Mr Hodgins.
