MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 28, 2015

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Chief Executive for a detailed update in response to my repeated requests for measures to improve traffic flow at Newcastle Road including possible redesign of the SuperValu roundabout, installation of a SCOOTS system and changes to the 'green light' time afforded to motorists seeking to turn right from the overbridge to the N4 eastbound?"

REPLY:

The Newcastle road area junctions with the N4 are being examined in the context of the recent NTA allocation and all of the matters raised are being considered by the Council's consulting engineers. As soon as the consultant has completed his work the matter will be discussed with the members and local residents will be informed of any implications on the ground. We are also examining a number of measures with particular reference to the school development in the area such as parking and walking routes. These will also be brought to members as soon as they are agreed with the Department of Education.
