Dublin City Council has said it has added directional signage to its traffic arrangements to slow cycle path users at Fairview Park at the point where delivery access is provided for concerts taking place at the park during the Summer. At the point where the cycle path is blocked, commuters on bicycles are said to have been confused, with some entering the footpath, as intended, and others entering the bus lane. The ones entering the bus lane seem to think the cycle path was closed because there was no directional arrow indicating cyclists to use the section of footpath that was closed off.As the images above and below show, there were also no signs indicating where people should return to the cycle path.Before the council explained the thinking of what they had done, and added the new directional sign, Cllr Karl Stanley (Social Democrats) said that deliveries need to be facilitated to Fairview Park to support the concerts there, but he said he was mystified as to why this major arterial active travel route is blocked in this way.This blockage is 24/7 and has been running for several weeks, including days when there are no concerts at the park and no staff present to accept deliveries, he said.Cllr Stanley said: Surely a temporary banksman style solution would be the most appropriate approach here, with a staff member temporarily holding cycle traffic back while delivery vehicles cross the lane. This would minimise disruption to commuters and would also be considerably safer than blocking the lane, which forces cyclists onto the road and footpaths to get around this senseless barricade.When contacted, Dublin City Council told IrishCycle.com that improved signage has now been installed. Cllr Stanley added he will be requesting a better and clearer arrangement to be put in place from the start of the 2027 concerts in the park.A spokesperson for Dublin City Council said: The cycle track at this location is not closed. A temporary chicane has been introduced to slow cyclist speeds as they approach the access point to the park. This measure is in place for the duration of the concert series, including build and de-rig periods, when production vehicles are accessing the site at various times throughout the day and night.Movement of vehicles in and out of the site is managed by professional traffic management operatives on behalf of the event promoter, in line with the conditions of the event licence and the associated Traffic Management Plan, which forms part of the approved Event Management Plan. The chicane is designed to guide cyclists to reduce speed, move slightly to the left, and safely rejoin the cycle track immediately beyond the entrance, the council said.The temporary layout remains in place throughout the concert period to provide a consistent and predictable safety arrangement, recognising that delivery and production vehicles may be present at any time, said the spokesperson. This arrangement has been used for the past three years of concerts, including the last two years during which the continuous cycle route has been in place along the park.The council spokesperson added: Additional directional signage has also been installed to further assist cyclists in navigating the route. Dublin City Council will review the signage and continue to monitor the arrangement in the interest of safety for all road users.
