COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, January 22, 2018

MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor C. King

"That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to arrange for ramps to be installed at the bottom of Killinarden Hill from the entrance to Hazelgrove Estate and the junction of Killinarden Heights where there is lighting as a matter of priority. Ramps were agreed and approved over two years ago and residents informed of same."

REPORT:

"The locations for installation of ramps in 2015 and 2016 were agreed with the Elected Members following extensive consideration of requests received.

In 2017 a new policy on traffic calming - "Traffic Calmig Criteria" - was adopted. Following this a public consultation process took place resulting in the selection of locations for ramp installations in 2017 and 2018. These locations were notified to the Members at the December Area Committee Meeting. These ramps are currently being installed.

Killinarden Hill (from the entrance to Hazelgrove Estate to its junction with Killinarden Heights) was not included in any of these processes. Previous requests for ramps on Killinarden Hill concerned the section south of Hazelgrove Estate but, as was explained, ramps could not be installed here as there is no public lighting.

The present request can be considered in the next traffic calming programme."
