MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor Baby Pereppadan

'To ask the Chief Executive to strongly consider building a speed ramp near 7 Corbally Avenue, Citywest. The residents living in Corbally Avenue have been regularly requesting me for the instalment of speed ramps. Just last week, a boy was hit by a car on that road. Luckily, unlike many of the other cars passing that way, the driver was not going fast and the boy unharmed. This could have easily been a lot more serious.'

REPORT:

 Yes, I see no reason why technically, this ramp(s) cannot be approved. However, all Ramps installations go through a public consultation process unless there is a specific local reason and unanimous support for the measures. If unanimous support exists (you need to be specific on the number) and you are prepared to arrange a Plebiscite from the Owners of every house and submit this petition for checking, the provision of Ramps may be accellerated.

Please note that the cost of such Ramps will come directly from your Ramps budget for 2020 and this scheme will leapfrog any other schemes in the queue.

In the event that you wish to go through the normal process and complete the Traffic Ramp Application form.  This can also be downloaded from the councils website under Transportation/forms.
