MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (2)

Monday, September 24, 2012

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Manager for an update on the Zebra Crossing Pilot Project as discussed at the June meeting; to specify the work done to date on the locations mandated at the meeting; and to make a statement on the matter?"

REPLY:

The pilot Zebra Crossing Project allows for a Zebra Crossing in each of the electoral areas of Lucan, Clondalkin, Tallaght Central, Tallaght South and Rathfarnham. It is hoped to include the provision of a zebra crossing on Whitehall Road West as part of the adjacent Whitehall cycle scheme currently at Part 8 consultation. The co-operation of local property owners is required as the footpath concerned is not currently in charge.

The results of a speed survey are awaited for the Ballycullen Road location.

The location at Tallaght Garda Station appears to be suitable as traffic speeds are generally observd to less that 50kph.

It should be noted that the zebra crossing at Killinarden Community School  in Tallaght South has been commissioned.
