SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, April 17, 2019

MOTION NO. 5

MOTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"That this area committee agrees that there would be a new phase of public consultation on the traffic calming ramps at Riversdale in Clondalkin."

REPORT:

South Dublin County Council, under Section 38 of the 1994 Road Traffic Act, proposed several locations for the installation of traffic ramps using Traffic Ramp Programme 2019/20. Riversdale was one location proposed under this programme. One resident objected very strongly to the installation to ramps in Riversdale, with no residents voting for ramp installation during public consultation process at Riverdale.

 The proposed locations were advertised in National & Local papers, displayed in the Council office in Tallaght and Clondalkin and in all the libraries in the county and promoted on Facebook and Twitter. The period for public consultation was 1 month from 13th December 2018 to 14th January 2019. In addition, the proposed locations were marked with paint on the road to alert residents to the exact location of the proposed ramps.

 In excess of 120 ramp locations were marked in the County. A large volume of locations has passed public consultation and it is unlikely that the level of funding will enable all locations that have passed public consultation to be installed during the period of this programme. South Dublin County Council are currently in the process of obtaining tender prices for proposed ramps. Riversdale can be added to a future traffic calming programme by using request for Installation of Traffic Ramps Form.
