QUESTION NO.15

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive if he is dealing with a request from Belgard Residents Association regarding the need for a Desire Path across the main green in Belgard Heights to facilitate residents of Belgard Heights who wish to cross the green towards the Luas stop; will he detail contacts he has had with the Luas operators regarding possible funding and will he note that Belgard Residents Association say they have previous assurances from the Council in respect of this matter and will he present an update?"

REPLY:

"There was some discussion in 2013 about a path running from Meadows West to Meadows East - this would be combined 4m wide path to accommodate both walking and cycling.  The Residents Association had supported the project.  A proposal was agreed with the Railway Procurement Agency (as it was then called) but the proposal did not in the end receive funding.  A similar project and funded by the RPA was completed at The View, Belgard Heights."
