The win ning project in this category has set a standard for urban road and active travel facility design in Ireland and for the implementation of the Bus-Connects programme.

The winning project is the Clontarf to City Centre Project, with designers Roughan & O’Donovan Consulting Engineers.

Into a complex network of over 20km combined length of pedestrian walkways, new and upgraded cycle lanes and upgraded bus lanes, the design of the scheme introduces, multiple new modal segregation features, environmental enhancements and construction techniques. By providing safe and attractive facilities for public transport users, cyclists and pedestrians, the innovative designs in the scheme contribute to encouraging a modal shift to active travel and public transport use in this very busy environment.
