MOTION NO. 19

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"That this Area Committee, noting the chronic traffic congestion in the Willsbrook Road area, restates its request for measures to:

• increase the capacity of the Willsbrook Road/Grange Castle Road by creation of a formal left-turn filter lane from Willsbrook Road;
• enhance the coordination and sequencing of traffic signals along Grange Castle Road;
• improve pedestrian/cycle activity between the Willsbrook Road area and schools north of the N4;

And requests that such measures are progressed in the context of next phase of the Willsbrook Road cycle upgrade scheme."

REPORT:

The Willsbrook Road Cycle Scheme is approved by the NTA to proceed to design stage for Phase 2 and 3 which will bring the scheme as far as the Willsbrook Road /Outer Ring Road junction. The Consultants engaged have been briefed to consider the redesign of the Willsbrook Road /Outer Ring Road junction and as part of the design will also examine the coordination and sequencing of traffic signals along the Grange Castle Road. We will consider the improvements to the corridor north of the junction in the light of NTA approval and compliance with the GDA Cycle Network.
