MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.8

MOTION: Councillor P. Foley

"At the June ACM, a motion was passed to write to the NRA about extending the Dublin Bus routes from Ballycullen to Oldcourt.  In previous correspondence with Dublin Bus on this issue, I was told that a turning point would be necessary on the Oldcourt Road (R113).  That the Chief Executive verify if any provision has been made for a turning point through any of the private planning applications for housing developments along this road or by any other means."

REPORT:

"These matters are completely independent. The first refers to discussions that SDCC have had with Dublin Bus about the construction of a roundabout at the start of Oldcourt road so that the route 15B could be extended to an appropriate turning point. Dublin Bus must procure the funding from TII in order for this proposal to proceed. We await an outcome.

The second is about new development and 6 year roads objectives in the Ballycullen-Bohernabreena area. There is a roads objective in the CDP 2016-2022 for a road to link Oldcourt Road at Beechdale to the Bohernabreena Road. It is expected that this will one day become a bus route and the road is being designed and delivered to reflect this. However as all the lands are not under the control of a single developer the road will arrive in phases. The Roads Section will advise that the Developer be conditioned to provide bus stops and a bus turning facility within the development defined by SD17A/0041."
