On Mobi road Glasnevin they put the cycle lane on the footpath but the footpath is now too narrow. It kind of reminds me of one of those things where you paint a door on a wall and then open it magically i.e. wishful thinking. There’s a mad cycle lane in Santry in between two traffic lanes.

What I'm trying to figure out is what the <em>justification</em> might be, i.e. what reasons will be rolled out to justify persisting with this design in the face of objections.

What will result from this is that motorists will feel justified in becoming agressive if a cyclist strays outside this lane. At the same time the cyclists won't gain what little advantage there might be from a restricted bike only cycle lane. This sort of cycle lane will make things significantly worse for the cyclists using it. The point of this design is to restrict roadspace for cyclists to only the cycle lane.
