MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, October 19, 2016

HEADED ITEM NO. 12

 

Pedestrian Crossing 

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.

They are

Clondalkin

  1. Woodfarm Walk at Watery Lane
  2. New Rd @ St. Bridget’s Rd
  3. Ninth Lock Rd @ Neilstown Rd
  4. Newlands Rd @ Divine Mercy Church 
  5. The locations are not in any order and are presented for comment/discussion.
  6.  

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."
