There is a chronic need for more ambition for the reallocation of road space from private cars to cycling and other active transport.
The Northern Distributor plans are car-centric, and destructive of the environment of the Lee Valley. The funds should instead be put into public transport infrastructure.
Under absolutely no circumstances should the active transport corridor of the Passage Greenway be shared with light rail. Not only would this destroy this resource, the experience of the Luas in Dublin shows how it is dangerous to cyclists. Light rail should be run at street level, where the density to support it exists, and it is private cars that should cede place on road space, not active travel on a Greenway.
