MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

"This Committee agrees that the Council should bring forward a plan to the Area Committee, following consultation with residents, for the upgrading of the land adjacent to no 125 Boot Rd running from Boot Rd to the footpath along the N7. This plan should include improving the landscaping, lighting and public safety of this area."

REPORT:

The configuration of the land to the side of 125 Boot Road is somewhat complex given that it provides vehicular access to the rear of the property in addition to facilitating pedestrian access to Newlands Cross via a footpath along the N7 slip road. There are 2 fully working lamp standards in the area which provide lighting at night. The area is planted with trees and there are a line of bollards segregating the road adjacent to No 125 from the open space.

There is a path leading from the N7 slip road to a lane which runs behind 116-125 Boot Road. The status of the lane is unclear and there no longer appears to be any access to it.

The overall area will be examined in conjunction with the Roads Section and a further report will be brought back to the Area Committee in the New Year.
