MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, January 15, 2020

QUESTION NO.  2

QUESTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

One way to further enhance the Clondalkin Village Area could be to pedestrianize certain streets for example, Main St and Tower Road, to encourage more pedestrians to spend time in the area, increase the appeal of the area to higher end shops and restaurants, hold outdoor events such as concerts and markets, and provide more public spaces and plazas. With this in mind, to ask the Chief Executive to inform the area committee as to how a process could be commenced at the LEA level and also among the general public to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of pedestrianization of certain roads in the Clondalkin Village area?

REPLY:

Where restrictions are being considered on a single road or stree this matter could be consulted on through a procedure in the Roads Act.

Where a larger scheme is being presented, it might be more appropriate that such a scheme is introduced through the CDP before using the Roads Act.
