Room for walkers and cyclists

A chara, – Further to Rodney Devitt’s “pro-bono” letter (September 2nd), regarding the Sandymount promenade, popular with walkers and cyclists, there seems adequate room for his suggested white line solution. The real problem, however, arises on narrow shared cycle/walkways, as in other parts of south Dublin and elsewhere. Most cyclists are considerate regarding walkers and some cyclists even have bells on their bikes! For safety, however, I would suggest that local authorities afford a priority for walkers – a system I’ve seen working satisfactorily abroad. – Is mise,
