MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (2)

Monday, May 24, 2010

QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor E. Maloney

"To ask the Manager to review the need for a ramp on Old Bawn Avenue, at the sharp bend close to No 40 and 43, due to residents concerns about safety?"

REPLY:

In 2005, following extensive public consultation, the Council installed traffic calming measures in the Old Bawn area which included the provision of 4 traffic calming ramps on Old Bawn Avenue.

The provision of a ramp at the sharp bend could not be recommended on safety grounds. There is in any event no provision in the current years budget for the installation of additional traffic calming measures.
