The Code of Best Practice for National and Regional Greenways was developed by Transport Infrastructure Ireland and the Department of Transport in 2021 and includes information on the planning, design and construction of Greenways as well as an overview of the public consultation processes involved. The Code is relevant to Greenway projects falling under the remit of TII, which are known as National and Regional Greenways and are generally over 20km in length.
Urban Greenways more often fall under the remit of the National Transport Authority (NTA) who are responsible for the Active Travel Infrastructure Programme, mainly based in urban areas in local authorities around the country. As well as such Greenway projects, the Active Travel Infrastructure Programme delivers cycle lanes, footpaths and school-based projects under the Safe Routes to School Programme. All NTA projects comply with their guidelines on consultations.
Noting the role of the NTA in these projects, I have referred your question to that agency for a more detailed answer in relation to those guidelines. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days, please contact my private office.
