MOTION NO. 19

MOTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"Could a report be presented on the progress of the footpath works on the Monastery Road. 

Will the section of the footpath outside the old Esso station be improved so that there is continuity on that side of the road."

REPORT:

The present scheme will be completed in approx. 2 months. This will complete traffic calming and improved pedestrian facilities including zebra crossings from the Monastery Heath Avenue as far as and including Castle Park. The scheme has been constructed in Phases in accordance with the approval and release of funding from the National Transport Authority. It is a project identified in the Clondalkin Movement Framework Plan which forms a blueprint for improvements in the village and surrounding areas. It is hoped in the future to seek funding for improvements for pedestrians at the SIAC roundabout.

The section of footpath outside Esso is not included in the scheme as there are particular technical difficulties with the slope at Monastery Heights.
