SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TERENURE-RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE (1)

Tuesday 7th February 2006

MOTION No. 5

WELLINGTON LANE/LIMEKILN DRIVE - PEDESTRIAN CROSSING

MOTION: Councillor S. Laing

"That this Committee calls on the Manager to establish a pedestrian crossing close to the junction of Wellington Lane and Limekiln Drive as it is virtually impossible for pedestrians to cross Wellington Lane at this point and given the presence of a bus stop and a significant amount of pedestrian traffic through Limnkiln Drive, that this matter be addressed by way of either a pedestrian crossing or a zebra crossing and that the matter be discussed."

REPORT:

Due to the close proximity of (a) traffic lights at Limekiln Road junction and (b) pedestrian lights at the entrance to Glendown Estate it would not be appropriate to have a pedestrian crossing at Limekiln Drive.  However the existing signals at the Limekiln Road junction will be assessed to see if a pedestrian phase can be incorporated.
