MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, January 16, 2012

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor C. Bond

To ask the Manager to state if there is sufficient finance available additional for traffic management measures?

REPLY:

The Council's traffic calming programme commenced in 2003 and since that time 37 traffic calming schemes have been completed across the County. The total cost of these measures to date is approx €5.7m. There are a large number of locations listed on the traffic calming request list.  Since 2009, due to budget constraints, no provision has been made in the Annual Budgets for traffic calming measures. This continues to be the case in 2012.

Specific projects have been identified for application for grant funding from the National Transport Authority (NTA) and these can  proceed if the schemes are acceptable to the NTA and funding is made available.

A schedule of minor schemes is being prepared  for construction / installation  in 2012 within the provision approved by the Members at the Budget meeting.These  minor schemes will be dealt with through the TMM process.
