When's the nice cycle lane beside Bushy Park going to connect with the Dodder Greenway bit starting at Butterfield Avenue? It's a bit scary navigating the part between them @ccferrie @smytho

@ccferrie One of the things I love about cycling along the greenway, and along the parts that are not yet greenway, is the sound of water and sight of herons and egrets, the beauty that appears when there are no cars in sight or sound #DodderGreenway #CouncillorsAndGolfers #WhichSideAreYouOnBoy

This is the route proposed - the Golf Club isn't delighted by the idea but it really doesn't impact on their use of the practice green in any way.

What it does do is avoid the steep incline up to Dartry, making the greenway more accessible and inclusive, while also minimising the impact on the riparian ecosystem along the Dodder.

Last Thursday, the Irish Times published an article painting a picture of local division around proposed plans for the Dodder Greenway through Milltown.

it was a complete fabrication.

Kevin Dennehy, chair of the Dodder Action group sets the record straight on today's letters page. The proposed route, skirting the perimeter of Milltown Golf Club practice putting green is supported by walkers, cyclers, anglers and environmentalists.

Completely without irony, a comment on the #DodderGreenway “I think what really should be sought for is a sort of a balance between the interests of motorists, pedestrians and cyclists.” 😂

It was really encouraging to see the groundswell of support for Eamon Ryan's vision for the Dodder Greenway between Donnybrook and Milltown last night. It was very positively received by residents, anglers, cyclists and the Dodder Action Group and was backed by Labour's Cllr Dermot Lacey and Ivana Bačik.

The proposal will require the 'taking in charge' of a 4m strip alongside Milltown Golf Club's putting green, which would have minimal impact on the operation of the club.

"I was the greatest opponent of the Greenway before it started but I would have to admit, since it has been finished, I have changed my attitude completely"
