MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, May 20, 2015

MOTION NO.18

MOTION: Councillor K. Egan

"This committee requests the executive to consider an alternative exit from Newlands Junction (at JMC's Van) from which all trucks could avoid the Newland junction as HGV's are currently experiencing difficulties here at the moment."

REPORT:

This matter has been examined and there are no immediate plans to provide an alternative exit from this location except as the site is further developed. The Council is satisfied that the current design of the newlands cross junction is satisfactory in relation to turning movements of HGV's. However the timings of the traffic lights will be examined with a view to improving green times for smaller vehicles who are delayed by such slow moving traffic. The traffic lights are not yet returned to the Council from the contractor.
