QUESTION NO. 19

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Chief Executive to outline a timeframe for the installation of new 'welcome' signage at key gateways to Lucan Village, to outline the locations where this new signage is to be installed; and to provide a graphic sample of the planned new signage?"

REPLY: 

Strategic design for way-finding systems for pedestrian/cycle movement in South Dublin County Council’s towns 9 villages has been completed. It is intended to roll-out a pilot project in Tallaght to further evaluate the overall proposal. Tenders have been issued for this project which will be implemented in the coming months. 

Parallel to this programme, it is intended to develop a ‘welcome-sign’ on the approaches to each of the 9 villages involved in the current Villages Initiative as an additional measure. It is proposed to pilot this project in Lucan in the first instance. The signs will be tendered in the coming weeks and installed shortly thereafter. The signs will include the agreed logo. 

The exact number of location of signs to be installed will depend on costs, visibility, traffic safety and pedestrian/mobility safety.
