Fingal County Council has said that the cycle lane with bollards will be restored as soon as possible after resurfacing works on the Howth Road.An IrishCycle.com reader said yesterday that the cycle lane had not been replaced after the resurfacing works and questioned what was happening. It turns out that a local councillor had already asked about the status of the cycle lane between Howth to Sutton Cross, and council officials responded that it would be replaced.Cllr David Healy (Green Party) tabled a motion which said: That this Area Committee recommends that the protected cycle lane from Howth to Sutton Cross is restored as soon as possible and that future replacement or improvement of active travel facilities is made an integral part of any road maintenance work contract or work by statutory contractors.The report reply from council officials said: The Howth Road surface was reinstated and resurfaced due to utility works. The cycle lane line markings and bollard positions will be set out in the coming weeks. Once that process is completed then the line marking aspect of the cycle lanes will be reinstalled.The next step after that is to install the buff anti-skid epoxy resin. This can be installed only when the wearing course has worn sufficiently to allow the resin bond with the new wearing course surface of the road. Once that stage is completed then the bollards can be reinstated, the response said.
