MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 19

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

"That the Chief Executive report on recent and further proposed changes to the Fonthill Road Roundabout and approach roads from Lucan and Palmerstown as many commuters have reported safety issues, gridlock and general confusion with new markings and removal of yellow boxes; with a view to improving same."

REPORT:

Lane markings on both St Lomans and the Fonthill Retail Pk roundabouts have recently been revised in order to increase the efficiency of these roundabouts. Last weekend further changes to road markings have been made to clarify some of the movements. In addition pedestrian and toucan signals have been installed in order to provide pedestrian and cycle improvements and turned on, on Friday the 12th Dec. There is obviously an adjustment period in which drivers will need to become used to the new layout. These are amongst the most congested and complex junctions in the County. We will continue to monitor, review and rationalise the situation.
