QUESTION No. 2

 

QUESTION: Councillor M. Ardagh

"To ask the Manager for an update on the situation in relation to the temporary entrance at No. 218 - 231 Grange Road, Dublin 16?"

REPLY:

In May 2001, on foot of submissions by local residents, the advertised Part 10 layout was modified at the request of the Council Members to exclude any works taking place in respect of the entrance to 218 / 231 Grange Road, or to the north thereof. Hence the scope of works in the current road scheme extends as far as the southern side of the entrance in question. The road works currently being undertaken will include appropriate signage, and the new configuration of the road will provide a more gentle curve and improve sight lines and forward visibility on the southern approach to the bend. Safety audits of the road alignment will be undertaken by an independent consultant prior to the opening of the road and subsequent to the opening thereof.
