MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE/FIRHOUSE/BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 14

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

That the Chief Executive installs a pedestrian barrier at the traffic lights on the Knocklyon Road close to the entrance to upper Dargle Wood, opposite the footpath down to Supervalu.

REPORT:

As discussed during the last ACM, it is not appropriate to install pedestrian barriers at this location as they will create an obstacle on the path that will be unsafe for the visually impaired and they will reduce the free flow of pedestrians across the junction and would interfere with sight lines. Three safety audits have already been carried out at this location by independent consultants and no safety issues were identified. The Council continues to monitor the situation at this location.
