Ciarán Cuffe TD has welcomed the start of works on Crofton Road which will improve pedestrian access to Dún Laoghaire Dart Station. This is part of an overall upgrade to the Metals Walkway and Marine Road.

Ciarán Cuffe TD for Dún Laoghaire said: 

 "Many of the planned improvements for Dún Laoghaire town reflect the wishes of local residents and business owners as expressed at the Vision for Dún Laoghaire public meeting I held in July.

The covering over of the Dart line at the Pavilion complex has resulted in a great civic space where people can sit and enjoy views of the Harbour. The next phase begins this month and will see new café terraces, pathways, seating areas and a small play space installed. There will also be new lighting, umbrellas and an information kiosk, as well as trees planted in the area.

The Green Party has welcomed planned improvements to 'The Metals' pedestrian and cycle route, which links Dún Laoghaire and Dalkey, financed under the government’s ‘Smarter Travel Project Fund’.

The fund of €15 million to be spent over 5 years is aimed at supporting small sustainable transport projects that can deliver real and measurable changes in people’s travel choices and behaviour at a local level.
