To ask the Manager to update on the timeframe for installation of the long-awaited signalised pedestrian crossing on Willsbrook Road at Fforster Square/Esker Wood, Lucan and to further advise on the Council’s proposals to reduce dangerous speeding and overtaking along this stretch of Willsbrook Road/Griffeen Way given that three separate rows of house directly front onto this main road?
To ask the Manager to hold discussions with Dublin City Council with a view to securing a better traffic flow at the Cold Cut, Kennelsfort Road, Ballyfermot Road junction. This junction needs to be widened (there is already adequate land available) to provide a better flow for the 18 Bus (and for the proposed revised 26 Bus route) as well as for traffic turning right onto the Cold Cut Road from Kennelsfort Road. This is the main artery from the Cherry Orchard Industrial Estate as well as an important junction for Lucan/Clondalkin/Palmerstown/Ballyfermot commuters and school traffic and can take an inordinate length of time to negotiate it especially at peak times which are now practically all day (except from 10.00am to 12.00pm and after 7.30pm).
