MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 24, 2011

QUESTION NO. 19

QUESTION: Councillor C. Jones

To ask the manager if a walk/cycle path that would connect Esker Lane with Castle Road has been considered through the school site planned for Esker Lane and would he make a statement on the matter?

REPLY:

Yes, a cycle path and footpath are critical elements in the design process presently underway. Their provision will aid permeability, improve road safety, encourage walking and cycling to school and be beneficial to all the school's in the complex. The Department of Education are aware of South Dublin County Council's requirements in respect of improvements in accessibility and movement.
