The funding, which equates to €1.4 million in total, will be put towards reinforcing the existing cycle lane on the road.

A non-statutory public consultation was held on the Radial Routes within the  city (Waterford Road included) to seek feedback and input on how these routes can be best designed to meet the community’s needs.

The feedback has subsequently been used to guide the ongoing design process.
