MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 17

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Cathaoirleach's Business

"This Committee is very concerned at the lack of progress in relation to issues that have been raised at this Committee over a long period of time, in particular: the Uturn continues to be a real hazard at the junction of the R148 and Kennelsfort Road Upper, the continuous white line is not effective, there is a real need to provide warning signs in addition to road markings; the raised platform at the pedestrian crossing has not been installed; the light sequence needs to be adjusted to give even 10 sec more to Upper Kennelsfort Road; the location for the bus stop on Kennelsfort Road Upper and the parking area to the rear need to be reviewed to make it safer for vehicles to enter and exit. One solution is to move the bus stop further up the road, it serves no purpose here being so close to the one on the R148."

REPORT:

Other physical measures are under consideration to prevent vehicles crossing the continuous white line.

The traffic light sequence will be examined.

The bus stop location and parking area will be reviewed.
