MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor C. King

"To ask the Chief Executive Officer to consider as a matter of priority the inclusion of Deerpark Avenue and Bawnlea Avenue to the traffic calming scheme currently being considered?"

REPLY:

Due to the many demands on the Council’s resources, the Council has only limited funding for the installation of traffic calming measures in 2014.The focus will be concentrating on spinal roads in residential areas. Discussions have taken place with the relevant Area Committees with a view to selecting four/five roads in each of the Council’s six electoral areas. As with previous traffic calming schemes, the selection of individual roads will be a matter for the relevant Area Committee. As the Committee was previously informed, the members were advised to discuss suggested locations with the Chair of the Committee with a view to the agreed locations being forwarded to the Roads Department by the Chairperson. Deerpark Avenue and Bawnlea Avenue are on the traffic calming request list for the Tallaght South Electoral Area.

To date no locations have been selected by the Tallaght Area Committee for either the Tallaght Central or Tallaght South Electoral Areas.This location will be brought to the attention of the Chair of the committee for agreement
