As outlined at the October 2019 ACM, SDCC has commenced preparation of a Countywide Sustainable Transport Plan. 

The study will look at existing and proposed movement and mobility patterns throught the county, and will inform detailed local area studies and advise on the types of measures that may be implemented to support a sustainable Transport Plan. 

There are currently a number of planning and NTA inputs being progressed. The results of these initial studies will inform the requirements for further detailed traffic studies across the county (including the Lucan area) and the need, or not, to procure consultants.
