SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, September 18, 2019

MOTION NO. 13

MOTION: Councillor William Joseph Carey

"This committee calls upon South Dublin County Council to immediately proceed with plans under the NTA Monastery Road Walking Scheme to install a signalized pedestrian crossing on the Woodford arm of the SIAC roundabout."

REPORT:

The Part 8 for Monastery Road Permeability Scheme was approved by the Council and  a contractor has appointed.  The start date for the works is the week beginning September 23rd, 2019.

The scheme will provide a signalised pedestrian crossing on the Woodford Hill approach to the SIAC roundabout.

The scheme aims to improve the public realm by providing upgraded footpaths, shared pedestrian and cycle space, improved signage and new signalised crossing on Woodford Hill and the bow bridge (L1019) just south of the Ibis roundabout. It will provide improvement along the length of Monastery Road that is heavily used by commuters and school pupils attributed to several primary and secondary schools located in Clondalkin Village and the Red Cow Luas Station on the other end of the scheme. The scheme will enhance walking facilities and to some extent the cycling facilities from Clondalkin Village to the Luas Station in the Red Cow thus encouraging modal shift from the car to more sustainable mode of transport like walking, cycling and the Luas.
