MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask the Chief Executive Officer for an update on the plans for enhancement of Lucan Village

REPORT:

The Council in February 2021 appointed DHB Landscape Architects Public Realm designers to deliver the upgrade, redesign and repurposing of key public realm elements in Lucan Village and its Environs.  This scheme will be developed in conjunction with plans to broaden the destination appeal and better position the village within the overall tourism proposition of the Dublin Suburbs and the Liffey valley in particular.

The public realm areas identified for improvement are: 

  1. Lucan Village Green
  2. The promenade / riverside area opposite Weirview and adjacent to Lucan Bridge.
  3. An improved Liffey Bridge Access and new steps with viewing platforms linking Lucan Bridge with Lucan Weir, which was approved in July 2015 under Part 8 of the Planning and Development Regulations, 2001.
  4. Upgrade the entrance and arrival points into Liffey Valley Park - Lucan Demesne to enhance the park entrance and also highlight its significance as an entry point to the Liffey Valley and Lucan Village.

We anticipate having a concept design available to share in June 2021.
