MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 24, 2013

QUESTION NO. 18

QUESTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

"To ask the Manager if he will request the Parks and Roads Departments to investigate the safety of pedestrians, including pedestrians pushing child buggies, of that part of the old Celbridge Road (the section which is one way towards Lucan), between the entrance to Lucan Golf Club and the old Lucan Road, relating to the narrowness of the footpath, and overhanging branches and foliage, and if he will advise the Committee if the Council could consider widening the footpath, and doing another, more extensive, cut-back of overhanging foliage?"

REPLY:

The Area Engineer has arranged for the cutting back of the overgrown foliage. There are no plans to widen the footpath in this area. However, as the adjacent bank has encroached slightly on the path, thus narrowing its width, road maintenance crews will be requested to remove this excess soil. These works are scheduled for  September/October  2013.
