MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, December 14, 2009

QUESTION NO. 21

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

To ask the Manager when action will be taken on my previous motion passed by this Council (and agreed by the Director of Traffic at the time as a practical idea) to have the main roundabouts of the County individually identified (by giving them a distinctive name) to help traffic traverse the County and that the names of Local Town lands, Irish Trees and Grasses be used in naming the roundabouts?

REPLY:

This matter was brought to the Transportation SPC in February 2009 and a pilot scheme was agreed in relation to the naming of roundabouts at certain high profile junctions. The report of the committee was agreed at the County Council meeting  on 9th March 2009. It is hoped to commence the pilot project in 2010, however the roll out of the project must be considered in the context of available resources and other projects planned for the county.
