MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 10, 2013

QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor A.M. Dermody

"To ask the Manager that you might recall that it was agreed traffic meeting that following a complaint from a resident in Lansdowne Park concerning the illegal parking of another resident whose house is situated on Knocklyon Road, that the parking of cars so close to the junction was deemed unsafe and therefore a hazard by the Manager.  An extension of double yellow lines was to be made.  No action has been taken since and residents continue to complain about the number of near accidents at this location.  Also, it was agreed that the white lines would be repainted at the junction of Ballyroan Height & Ballyroan Crescent and I was lead to believe that this would happen as soon as possible.  This does not appear to have happened.  Please can I be provided with details as to when both matters will be attended to by the Council?"

REPLY:

The statutory approval for the extension of the double yellow lines has been received and it will be arranged as soon as practicable. The lining at the Ballyroan Height & Ballyroan Crescent junction has been included in the Area Engineers works programme and will be carried out in September 2013 subject to favourable weather conditions.
