MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 26, 2019

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

"To ask the Chief Executive for a firm date when the pedestrian crossing on the Old Lucan Road - Palmerstown Village (agreed in principle two years ago and subject to a site visit to agree a location) will progress? Following the recent site visit involving the representatives of the consumers committee, Stewarts Hospital are very concerned for the safety of their patrons who use the route extensively throughout the day and evenings."

 

REPLY:

The crossing previously agreed to was an unsignalised crossing point and this has been provided. At the recent site visit it was agreed that the Council's Traffic Section would:

a) carry out a traffic count to establish the degree of pedestrian and vehicular usage and

b) carry out reseach to establish best practice for the provision of crossing facilities relevant to this situation.

These are still in progress.
