MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, January 10, 2017

HEADED ITEM NO.8

 

2017 Improvement Works Programme.

 

Provision has been made by the Chief Executive in the 2017 budget for the carrying out of small improvement works in parks and open space areas around the County such as the laying of new paths, pitch improvement works, installation of lighting on open spaces, roundabout improvements and other works.  Those works proposed to take place in the Rathfarnham/Templeogue-Terenure area in 2017 are listed below.  These proposals have been compiled from issues raised as agenda items at area committee meetings throughout the course of the year, as well as undertakings given in response to members representations throughout the year.  It should be noted that the list provided does not include those works which have already been included in the Council's three year rolling capital works programme, it includes only those works of a small scale which are to be funded from the revenue budget.  

The scheme included in the 2016 Improvement Works programme for works to the car park at the junction of Grange Road / Nutgrove Avenue did not proceed in 2016 and has been brought forward to 2017.  This scheme was put on hold due to the potential for conflict with the Grange Road Cycle Scheme and Enhancement of the Streetscape which is being carried out by the Council's Land Use, Planning and Transportation Directorate and which is being funded by the NTA.
