Progress building cycle routes has slowed in Q1 of this year and now at least temporarily ground to a halt, a city councillor has highlighted. Cllr Feljin Jose (Green Party) raised the issue towards the end of Dublin City Councils monthly council meeting on Monday night. The Quarterly Report of the Active Travel Programme Office for Q1 2026 left Cllr Jose wondering about the councils level of progress.He said: Just to understand, is it true to say that theres not a single active travel scheme under construction in Dublin City at the moment? Theres not a single one under construction, not counting snagging issues on projects that were finished a few years ago?I dont in the Trinity to Ballsbridge project has actually started in April, correct me if Im wrong. And the Dodder Greenway, Ringsend Bridge to Londonbridge Road, is finished. So theres nothing under construction, Cllr Jose said.We have a program of works thats 214 kilometres thats supposed to be built by 2030. There was a program. There was an update published today, which said we did half a kilometre in the last quarter. [At that rate], were talking 2 to 3km, I think it was 10km last year or something like that, he said.He said: Im looking at the last active travel report in January, [covering] Q4 2025, and almost every single project has been delayed since.I keep going out to residents, and they ask me when this project is going to start construction. I tell them a date for six months later, [then] its not happening, its embarrassing. Its embarrassing telling residents that something is going to happen here year after year, said Cllr Jose.He added: In my own area, the Ratoath Road project was supposed to be a consultation in Q4 last year. Now, its gonna be sometime this year. There was one [a consultation] done three years ago, and we havent seen the report. Its embarrassing passing on updates for management, especially on active travel, and just nothing happens.The discussion was cut short, incomplete and deferred to the next meeting, so there was no response from officials as there usually would be during the meeting. IrishCycle.com contacted Dublin City Council for comment on Tuesday. On Friday, a spokesperson for Dublin City Council said: Dublin City Council has a plan to commence construction on 11 Schemes throughout the course of 2026. Dublin City Council is working to deliver on that programme, and the commencement of the schemes on this programme is phased through the year to align with available budgets.The spokesperson added: Where any of these scheduled starts experience delays, Dublin City Council will look to commence construction on other schemes on the Active Travel Network.The Quarterly Report of the Active Travel Programme Office includes an update on the project titled Ratoath Road and Cappagh Road (Cabra to Blanchardstown), a route from Cabra to Finglas, which will eventually run to the north east area of Dublin 15 via Finglas.The report said: During this quarter, the preliminary design of the section from Westwood to the Fingal County boundary was undertaken, and this is scheduled for completion this April. The preliminary design of the section from Cabra Cross to Westwood is complete. The overall scheme design will be submitted to the NTA for approval this April.Once the review is complete and approval received from the NTA, the updated designs and Public Consultation Report will be published. In addition, consideration will be given to phasing the implementation of the scheme. A Public Information Event will take place at this time and preparation for this event has commenced, it said.The report added: The project will deliver 4.3km of walking and cycling measures from the junction of Navan Road/ Cabra Road to New Cross College, Cappagh Road at the border with Fingal County Council.
