MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 24, 2017

MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"This committee was presented with proposals for the next phase in the cycle track plan (Phase 3A Willsbrook Road) some time ago. It now appears that some issues have arisen and they need to be addressed. I ask that Chief Executive bring the same plans to the members (in particular the pedestrian entrance to Willsbrook estate) for discussions with a view to re-instating the pedestrian gap." 

REPORT:

A meeting was held between Council Officials, elected members and residents of Willsbrook Estate on 19 October last where both sides outlined their views on the widening of the gap.

Following a request from the residents, an undertaking was given not to proceed with any further works on the gap until a way forward was agreed. Following from that and addressing the concerns of the residents, the Council now agrees to reinstate the gap to its original width including a railing to slow down cyclists to replicate what was there previously. Local widening of the footpath will be required inside the wall to facilitate cyclists accessing the road. A drawing of same will be provided to local residents for agreement in advance of the works.
