MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.4

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

"That the Chief Executive carries out a review of the road and safety standards on the Ballycullen Road at the entrance to Glenvara Park. The residents of Glenvara Park risk their lives daily in venturing out from their estate because oncoming traffic cannot be seen because of the curve of the bend. This blind spot is exacerbated by the speed of the traffic coming both up and down each side of the road. Can we see if the road needs speed reducing ramps or traffic calming measures? And can we examine the restriction of the Ballycullen road Bus lane to a 24/7 regime."

REPORT:

"Traffic section have monitored this junction on a number of occasions in recent weeks. The layout and sight lines conform with all regulatory requirements. We noted that traffic appeared to be travelling in excess of the 50kph speed limit for Ballycullen Road and will ask the Gardaí to carry out speed checks in the area. We will similarly ask Dublin Bus if a 24/7 bus lane is appropriate for the area."
