Work is being carried out at present on the almost never-used cycle lanes on Stapleton Place.
Rather than removing the cycle lanes though, Talk of the Town understands that a new style pathway, parking area and cycle lane system is being developed.
The changes come after numerous complaints from local residents about getting in and out of their cars when they park in front of their homes.
The trees along the street are being cut down at present to make way for the changes.
Commenting on the matter on the Talk of the Town Facebook page, Fine Gael councillor Maria Doyle said: “The street was destroyed when the Council put in the cycle tracks 2 years ago.
“The work being carried out now is as a result of an agreement the council made with the residents to make the cycle path safer from them getting in and out of cars etc. This agreement dates back to July 2012 and was well reported at the time, but has taken the Council this long to get it started. Myself and the residents wanted the road returned to how it used to be. But the council engineers would only agree to modifications.”
This is the second time that the council have had to review their cycle lane policy after the initial cycle lanes that crossed the road in front of the Century Bar and Home Bakery had to be removed as it was causing confusion for all concerned.
