SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 24, 2016

MOTION NO. 20

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle, Councillor V. Casserly

"That this Area Committee welcomes the planned upgrade of the R120 between Adamstown and Polly Hops but notes the concerns and queries raised by Lucan Pitch & Putt Club and calls on the Chief Executive to:

- provide safe pedestrian crossing points in the vicinity of the club both during construction and upon completion;

- provide sufficient temporary parking for both Club members & visitors during construction; and

- support the club in acquiring additional ground for parking upon completion of works.

REPORT: 

On completion of the Works, signalised pedestrian crossing facilities will be provided as part of the proposed Adamstown Road Improvement Scheme at two locations to facilitate pedestrians and cyclists in the vicinity of Lucan Pitch and Putt Club.  These will be located immediately north of the club grounds and on the 12^th Lock Bridge.  This will provide a much improved environment for all pedestrian and cycle users but especially users of the Grand Canal Green Route, Lucan Sarsfields GAA Club and Lucan Pitch and Putt Club.

Existing parking at Lucan Pitch and Putt club will be unaffected during construction works. It is not a requirement of the scheme to provide any temporary parking for the Club. During construction of the scheme it will be a requirement of the Contractor to ensure approved traffic safety and management is implemented at all times including inter alia access and egress to the Club’s existing car park and all pedestrian movement throughout the scheme. 

The acquisition of additional lands for parking post construction works is a private matter for the Club itself and ‘The Council’ has no role in that.
