• What exactly was proposed or envisaged in the application to the NTA?
• The scope of this proposed project and how it is intended to proceed?
• How the Lucan Village Network can be included in the planning phase in line with the Council’s ‘Village Programme’ and recognising both the priority attached to this issue by the Lucan Village Network and the outstanding request from the Network for a meeting with the Roads Department?
• How this project will interface with the review of parking bye-laws? "

The key issues are:

Access to Lucan Village as a centre.

The role of the Kildare rail line in Lucan.

How buses routes through Lucan balancing journey times and reliability with minimum accessibility to populations.

Lucan village traffic management and public realm improvements.

A full report on the NTA allocations will be brought as a headed item for full discussion to the next O&P meeting which is scheduled for March 21st next. It is intended to invite the NTA to this Meeting.
