COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Thursday, February 12, 2015

MOTION NO. 221

MOTION: Councillor P. Donovan

That this Council directs the Chief executive to incorporate Walkers and Cyclists on our street signage and to publish the distance and estimated walking/cycling time to reach key tourist attractions in the county

REPORT:

One of the key attribute of any successful strategic walking and cycling route is that it is clearly legible. A key component of this is appropriate signage indicating direction, distance and, in some cases, travel time. Such an approach is encouraged by National Policy such as that contained in the National Cycle Manual.   South Dublin County Council is also committed, via its Corporate Plan 2015-2019, to improve signage across the County.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted.
