HEADED ITEM NO. 2

Presentation on proposals for Pedestrian and Cycling Safety Improvements at Walkinstown Roundabout

It is proposed to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists at Walkinstown Roundabout and also to improve the public realm at this location. Following protracted discussions with the National Transport Authority a design has been prepared which meets with the funding agencies approval and can now be presented for public consultation, where views will be sought on the proposed safety improvements.  As a first step in the process we are making a presentation to the Councillors in the relevant ACM’s of both South Dublin County Council and Dublin City Council.  The presentation will be given by Arup Consulting Engineers who were engaged by South Dublin to carry out the necessary fieldwork, data collection and design to comply with the National Transport Authority guidelines.  The presentation will include a short video relating to the design philosophy behind the scheme. South Dublin County Council, by agreement, will manage the delivery of the approved scheme on behalf of both Authorities and work is expected to commence in the summer of 2016.
