MOTION NO.
MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell, Councillor P. Gogarty, Councillor L. O'Toole
Insert under SL5 a new SLO: To seek to reconfigure the road layout, parking and traffic management arrangements so as to improve flow around Lucan Village Green and also make it safer for pedestrians to cross, including at the junctions of Lucan/Celbridge Road with Adamstown (Lock) Road and Main Street.
REPORT:
The motion proposes a new SLO regarding road layout and traffic management in Lucan Village.
South Dublin County Council has engaged Consultants to examine the Canal Loop and traffic management and parking will be included as part of this study. It is considered that a new SLO with the following wording would be more appropriate:
‘To undertake a traffic management strategy for Lucan Village, to assess traffic management options, including measures to improve the cycling and pedestrian environment and to examine the potential for off-street parking’.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the motion be adopted with amendments to insert a new SLO under Policy SM 6 ‘Traffic and Transport Management’ as follows:
‘To undertake a traffic management strategy for Lucan Village, to assess traffic management options, including measures to improve the cycling and pedestrian environment and to examine the potential for off-street parking’.
