MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Manager, further to my question to the December meeting, to update on the requested examination of measures to improve the safety of pedestrians crossing Grange Castle Road at the junction with Lucan Road (Woodies junctions), in particular with respect to concerns over the risks to pedestrians from traffic turning left from Grange Castle Road onto Lucan Road, and in particular to report on examination of the proposal to lengthen the time-delay between the traffic red light and the pedestrian green light and to review pedestrians' visibility of oncoming traffic from the footpath at the Woodville side of the crossing?

REPLY:

The location in question has been reviewed. The sight lines are adequate and can only be improved by alterations to the adjacent wall.

The intergreen period between the flashing amber to traffic and the green to pedestrians has been increased and will be monitored.
