Badly needed and a great idea- I hope there will be more to follow. Go to Scandinavia and you can see how traffic has been cut by great cyclepaths where even children on their way to school can cycle.

From Petronius 22nd February 2006

Hi S2S

I hope this idea and campaign is alive and well and successful – i think it makes great sense. It has benefits for peoples health by encouraging them to be active walk and cycle. It surely increases the use of an under appreciated resource which is dublin bay and indeed the quayside. It was to my annoyance that i discovered that the new “foot” bridge to the IFSC(Seán o’casey bridge) does not cater for cyclists – and specifies “no cycling”

Wishing you all success.

Slán,

From Pat Hannon 3rd April 2006

Hello,

I heard the proposal for a continuous cycle-way from Sanycove to Sutton mentioned on the Today with Pat Kenny show this morning. It’s a wonderful idea. Having just come back from Chicago with a similar 15-mile lakeshore cycle-way I can really appreciate the idea. Can’t wait for it to happen along with the other interesting ideas that were mentioned on the show to enhance the Bay.

Best regards,

Pat

Hi All

I attended at the Dublin Bay Futures event last Saturday in Dun Laoghaire and find your project very interesting. Would you eventually consider organising a walk along the bay?

Best Regards

Taoiseach, Minister,

Thank you for your efforts in support of the s2s project. I think it will in the future be a very valuable contribution to quality of life in Dublin and an example to the entire country, if your attention remains on it. I think it will have many spinoff benefits for individuals and communities and maybe even politicians.

Kind Regards,

Gerry Kelly

From David McCabe to the Taoiseach and Minister for the Environment 15th Nov 2006

My thanks to you Taoiseach and minister Roche for giving your public support to the Sandycove to Sutton project around Dublin Bay. The northsiders have their lovely linear park from Fairview to Sutton whilst us southsiders have only 500 metres at Sandymount.!!

So push it ahead as a 2007 Election project and use the rubble from Lansdowne Road demolition as infill at Sandymount. Well done and thanks to all involved.

From Nick Koumarianos 15th November 2006

Dear Taoiseach and Minister Roche,

I was very encouraged and grateful to read of your support for the s2s cycle and walking track project in Mondays papers.

Dublin Bay is a fantastic amenity and this clever idea will maximise the use of it’s shoreline for a relatively modest investment.

I have witnessed the success of similar projects in other cities and know that s2s will add substantially to the enjoyment of the Capital by both residents and visitors.

With best wishes,

Nick Koumarianos

Dear Minister,

I am very pleased that the government has agreed to support the cycling route around Dublin Bay. It is a very exciting venture and should be a great environmentally-friendly amenity for the people of Dublin and beyond.

Well done,

Eric Conroy,

Hon. Treasurer, An Taisce (and ardent cyclist!)
