MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 23, 2021

MOTION NO. 23

MOTION: Councillor V. Casserly

To call on the Manager to upgrade the footpath on Lucan Bridge, addressing its poor structure and raised kerbs which are presenting health and safety concerns for pedestrians.

REPORT:

There is currently a macadam path with a granite kerb on both sides of the Lucan Bridge. It is not possible to build a higher path against the vertical parapet supports (mullions) of this historic structure. Widening the path is not being considered at this time as this would result in a narrowing of the road carriageway. It is noted that the speed limit on this road is 50 kph.
