SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 25, 2021

MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor V. Casserly

"That this area committee calls on management as part of ongoing footpath repairs in Lucan village and Palmerstown to install guidance strips for visually impaired residents along our walkways. An example of the implementation of this is Grafton Street with Dublin City Council promoting the initiative. To also further make sure sandwich boards are not placed outside of businesses outside of planning regulations which hinder access for all pedestrians."

REPORT:

These guidance strips are installed where the full width and a large extent of footpaths/walkways are being replaced as per Grafton Street.Road Maintenance repairs sections of footpaths and it would not be feasible to install the strips. Sandwich boards should be brought to the attention of the Area Engineer.
