The provision of a sustainable transport system will be the focus of the Green Party's submission to the Government’s transport strategy when it launches its 10-point plan later today.
Transport spokesman Ciaran Cuffe will unveil the proposals which will be submitted to the Government’s public consultation programme on sustainable travel and transport.
Yesterday, Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey and Dublin Transportation Office director John Henry announced plans to let commuters have a say in the future of Dublin’s transportation system for the first time.
Motorists, cyclists and pedestrians can give their input to the new strategy through www.2030vision.ie.
They also revealed that cars could be rerouted away from the main thoroughfares in the capital and a congestion charged charged to motorists.
However, Mr Demspey stressed that the message would remain clear that Dublin would remain open for business, especially during the construction of the Metro North and Interconnector between 2010 and 2015.
