  Dodder Greenway Route Scheme comprising: The proposed Dodder Greenway is being developed to be a Greenway of international renown and to be on a par with the best greenways in the world. Although developed as a combination of off road and on road it utilises existing facilities within the Dodder Valley as much as possible to connect the linear parkland along the route. The main elements of the proposed Greenway are as follows: • The Greenway route is approximately 14km in length and passes along the Dodder Valley from Orwell / Terenure through the outer suburbs of Tallaght to rural and upland Dublin to the entrance to the Bohernabreena reservoirs at Glenasmole. • It will provide for improved connectivity to communities, facilities and local business along the Dodder Valley corridor with a dedicated signage strategy. • Where commuting currently exists and demand is anticipated to continue, the scheme either ensures it is facilitated in a pedestrian priority environment with additional capacity for safe use at junctions or provide an alternative route for commuting cyclists where required. • The Greenway will generally consist of a shared 3-4m wide bound surface on the off road sections, tying into suitable bound surfacing for the on road sections. It is proposed to utilise enhanced variations to reflect local context. • Works will include widening and upgrade to existing paths, construction of new paths, the construction of a number of new bridges, upgrade of existing bridges and underpasses, junction upgrades, etc. • The upgrade and creation of new entrances to the Greenway. • Improved landscape treatment to provide a coherent and legible Greenway along the proposed Greenway. • Ecological enhancements including species rich grassland management, the planting of native trees and the provision of bat boxes. • Bat friendly public lighting will be provided both in new areas and in upgrading sections of existing lighting. • CCTV will be provided at a number of locations including each of the bridges. • Drainage measures including swales, signage, markings and ancillary works.
