This public consultation is aimed at helping us to decide whether priority should be given to developing:
a) a path along the railway from Sydenham through Holywood Exchange (red); or
b) a path along Holywood Road through Holywood Exchange (green); or
c) upgrade the cycling route alongside the Sydenham ByPass (blue).
We welcome your views
The Department is seeking your views on these three routes and which one you would prefer. The eventual priority of routes will be shaped by a variety of factors, including costs and available resources, however, the views and comments of local people and those who have a stake in the use and development of the walking and cycling infrastructure are vital and will always be at the core of the decision making process.
