MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"A number of roads in South Dublin County Council have recently been identified as reaching the predicted average traffic congestions levels for 2023 as reported in a report/article from TII. Included in the report the M50, N4 and N7 were amongst these roads and with the planned development of Clonburris and Adamstown these road networks will continue to congest further.

This committee request the Chief Executive to write to Minister for Transport asking that his department considers looking at the introduction of a “Traffic Management Movement Task Force”. This force would be made up of various stakeholders including Local Authorities, An Garda Siochána, the Road Safety Authority, NTA and Dublin Bus.

This Task Force could also be considered to be piloted North West of South Dublin County Council as Lucan and the surrounding areas continue to experience traffic congestions, due to various factors."

REPORT:

 If the Motion is carried SDCC will write to the Minister for Transport requesting  that his department considers looking at the introduction of a “Traffic Management Movement Task Force”. 

This force would be made up of various stakeholders including Local Authorities, An Garda Siochána, the Road Safety Authority, NTA and Dublin Bus.
