QUESTION NO.24

QUESTION: Councillor Liam Sinclair

"Are there plans to install sensitive lights on the new pedestrian bridge at Bolbrook? Those like at the larger red bridge up stream. The pathways are lit but the bridge is wide and screened by tall trees on both sides, so for solo walkers, runners or cyclists at night, a limited number of sensitive lights on the bridge would make it much more usable during the dark evenings and Winter months"

REPLY: 

The works to the Dodder greenway have been suspended due to the current Covid lockdown of all but essential works. Upon resumption of the works a full public lighting systm will be installed to include integrated handrail lighting to the new bridges as well as lighting to the paths themselves.
