It has been a few years in the making, but the new plan for Clontarf Baths car parking includes streamlining the two-way cycle path by removing a previously planned restrictive bend and widening the path. While Dublin City Council has been involved in or at least consulted with the cycle path design, this section of the route is on private property, and so the planning application for the design is being made by the owner of the Clontarf Baths building, the Clontarf Baths and Assembly Rooms Company Ltd.

Comment & Analysis: In the past, it was mainly said by opponents of giving space to walking, cycling and buses, but more recently, a number of media commentators who are generally supportive of active travel and public transport have claimed that bus priority measures in Dublin City Centre have just moved cars to other streets.

Comment & Analysis: Car-free Capel St has been in place since 2022, and Parliament St followed it this year. Both are examples of interim street changes -- the streets have been redesigned quickly, with a longer-term redesign still pending. This is a good approach, but some things need to move faster.
