MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTON/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 17

MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson

That the Chief Executive arrange to upgrade the tarmac and, if possible, widen the path in Mill Lane in Palmerstown. The path is used by the successful, and recently registered with Athletics Ireland, running club LOVE2RUN, as well as users from Stewarts Hospital, and is in need of repair.

REPORT:

The path around the pitches in Mill Lane is approximately 800 metres long and 2 metres wide. The condition of the majority of the path is good however there are 7 locations on the path where resurfacing works are required. It is proposed to include the resurfacing work in the 2021 Public Realm Improvement Works Programme for consideration. In addition to this the path leading down to the pitch will also be listed for consideration for surfacing in the Improvement Works Programme.

Pending surfacing, the path will be cleaned and the encroaching vegetation which is growing onto the path will be removed to ensure that the full width of the path is available for use.  The width of the path is consistent with pedestrian paths used throughout public parks and there are no proposal to increase it.
