MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (1)

Monday, October 20, 2008

QUESTION NO 30.

QUESTION: Councillor K. Warren

“To ask the Manager if consideration has been given to completely overhaul the existing grass verges and general appearance of the pathway running along the Embankment Road, closest to the perimeter of Kilnamanagh Close, and given the importance of this route onto Belgard Road, and the fact that the Luas tram has greatly enhanced the visual nature of the road, if funding can now be secured for the other side of the road, which is in a really poor condition since the installation of a new public path along this road some years ago, and if he will make a statement on the matter.”

REPLY:

Due to new Health & Safety regulations covering works on public roads and the requirement to maintain traffic flows on this road, the scheduling of routine maintenance works on Embankment Road e.g. grass cutting has become more complex and difficult. The matter of the existing condition of Embankment Road and any proposals for improvement works will be raised for discussion with the Roads & Traffic Department.
