COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

MOTION NO. 14

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

That the Manager installs two ramps at Cherrywood Avenue / Park, Clondalkin and that he outlines the costs of this.  

REPORT:

In 2005, following extensive public consultation the Council installed traffic calming measures in the Cherrywood area of Clondalkin. These measures included the installation of 3 traffic calming ramps together with a number of footpath build-outs on Cherrywood Crescent to slow down traffic. The Council does not have the resources for additional traffic calming measures at this location in 2011. The expenditure and the traffic calming carried out formed part of an overall policy adopted by the Council on an area basis and it would not be fair to re-visit schemes already carried out before other locations within areas have been completed.

The matter of speeding on this road  not withstanding the traffic calming carried out in the area has been referred to the local Gardaí for their attention and their response is awaited.
