HEADED ITEM NO. 15

 

Saggart Village Initiative

The Scheme includes the following improvements:

• Creation of two plaza areas at either end of Mill Lane, connected by a more pedestrian focused layout along Mill Lane
• Northern plaza is at the Carpe Diem Restaurant stretching across Mill Lane
• Southern plaza is at Parc Mhuire open space stretching across Garter Lane (Main Street). This plaza will incorporate seating and a live Christmas tree
• The Plaza areas will include speed tables to calm traffic and encourage pedestrian priority for crossing; the speed tables will be surfaced in red HRA to contrast with the silver granite finish on the footways as a traffic calming measure
• The carriageway along Mill Lane between the North and South plaza areas will be a narrowed flush surface incorporating footways with bollards and street furniture to delineate the carriageway. This will be surfaced in red HRA as above to contrast with the silver granite finish on the footways as a traffic calming measure
• New silver granite finish paving to be located along Garter Lane (Main Street) on both sides between the signalised junction with Mill Road and the Saggart Tyre Centre, the two plaza areas and the footways along Mill Lane
• The existing carriageway within the scheme boundaries will be resurfaced and relined
• New surface water drainage will be installed along Mill Lane
• Parking will largely remain the same. However it will be rationalised with delineated spaces. There will be two spaces removed from in front of the main plaza along Garter Lane. However an additional space will introduced to provide a full size disabled bay opposite Centra adjacent to the signalised crossing for ease of access
• Bus Stop build outs will be provided on both sides of garter lane outside Centra
• Submission from Saggart Village Residents Association received on the 14/06/2017 was largely taken into account
• 5 new trees will be planted in the South Plaza, plus a live Christmas tree. However 4 existing trees will be removed; 3 due to the works and one is not viable due to disease
