COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE
Tuesday, October 11, 2016
HEADED ITEM NO. 9
Pedestrian Crossings
"Traffic Sections role in the provision of signalised pedestrian crossings has to date been reactive, i.e. to identify locations where a demand already exists for pedestrian facilities and then to seek to meet that need.
In the year to date 52 pedestrian and vehicle counts have been carried out and two locations have been identified as meeting the criteria. (Esker Road and Meile an Ri). Signalised pedestrian crossings are currently being installed at these locations.
As so few locations have been identified to date it is proposed to identify sites where, should a crossing be provided, it may reasonably be considered that usage will over time increase to a sufficient level.
Four such locations have been identified in each of the 4 Area Committee regions and the locations which are relevant to your EA are as follows.
Rathfarnham/Templeogue/Terenure
- Ballycullen Rd South of Woodstown Rd
- Limekiln Rd @ St Peters N.S. This would require the removal of parking spaces.
- Butterfield Ave between Butterfield Park and Drive.
- Knocklyon Rd at Service Station
Can the Committee agree which two of the above locations should be installed during 2016. If a decision is not reached the Executive will make the decision based on predicted demand during the coming years."
