MOTION NO. 19

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"That the Chief Executive examine the possibility of upgrading the pedestrian access at the roundabout on Griffeen road/Esker road allowing for a continuous link through 3 sections of the Griffeen Parks. Following my motion 48835 March 2016."

REPORT:

"The area committee made their selection for pedestrian crossings in their area and selected a pedestrian crossing location approximately 100m to the north of this location. The area committee, subject to budget allocation may get the chance to propose further locations for pedestrian crossings in 2017. The locations of such crossings will have to be agreed locally by the members once the locations are approved on technical grounds."

MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"That the Chief Executive examine the possibility of installing zebra crossing’s at the roundabout on the Griffeen road/Esker road which would link the two Griffeen parks providing a continuous pedestrian and cycling route through the 3 sections of the Griffeen parks. These two pedestrian crossing and the pedestrian crossing planned at Arthur Griffith park would then mean that every exit of the Griffeen parks would have a pedestrian crossing allowing easier and safer access and considering the amount of schools in the areas it will also make access to school a lot safer."

REPORT:

"Funding exists to provide 4 no. Pedestrian crossings in the Lucan E.A. in 2016 (2 as per 2015 program and 2 as per 2016 program) In this context it has been agreed to carry out a count at Arthur Griffith Park to determine the extent of usage. If the committee so decides, the additional locations can be added to the list for examination.  It should be noted that no locations for the provision of crossings have as yet been decided."
