MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE/FIRHOUSE/BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

To ask the Manager to provide an update on the utility box artwork rollout, detailing where within the RTFB area is next.

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council continues to use traffic light control boxes to exhibit high quality, creative artwork to the public. Traffic light control boxes make perfect canvases to showcase community art as they are always naturally located in high footfall – high traffic areas. The artwork can be enjoyed by pedestrians, cyclist and motorists as they wait for the traffic light to turn green.

A budget has been secured for the roll-out of the project in 2021 and a callout for submissions is due to take place in the coming weeks. This will be followed by a selection process in May.

The Environmental Awareness Office is currently working with Dublin Canvas to identify locations across the County.
