MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

MOTION NO. 259

MOTION: Councillor M. Murphy

That the “road proposal-long term” linking Bohernabreena and Kiltipper be removed from the plan.

Co-signed by Cllr. B. Leech and Cllr. K. Mahon.

REPORT:

Table 6.6 - Medium to Long Term Road Objectives contains a proposal for a new bridge from Bohernabreena Road to Kiltipper Road across the Dodder Valley/River  The purpose of this bridge is to provide access to Ballycullen-Oldcourt LAP lands.  This proposed bridge is a means of providing an alterative route between Tallaght and the Ballycullen-Oldcourt LAP lands. 

The only current means of direct access between the areas is the Oldbawn Bridge. This is a major bottleneck and particular concerns are held in relation to the efficiency of bus services, which regularly face long delays along the Old Bawn Road. 

 It should be noted that removal of this bridge may result in a conflict with Item 45043 which seeks to improve access to the Ballycullen-Oldcourt LAP lands. 

 

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
