COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 28, 2021

MOTION NO. 18

MOTION: Councillor Derren Ó Brádaigh

That this committee agrees that the traffic calming measures put in place at the junction on Foxdene Avenue /Meile an Ri Park and also on Greenfort Gardens are not fit for purpose, have increased safety concerns and must be replaced as a matter of urgency

REPORT:

An initial inspection of the Foxdene Avenue and Meile an Rí Park would indicate that the ramps have been in place for some time. The location will be included amongst those to be assessed under a revised street improvement guide which is currently being finalised. It should be noted that the scale of any works will be dependent upon the 2022 Street Improvement Budget.

New ramps were installed in Greenfort Gardens, one was placed at a junction and was removed because it was a safety concern.  On the second ramp installed in July 2021, the reflective studs and markings are now in place. The Council's view is that there is sufficient traffic calming at this location and the neighbouring streets.  The situation monitored.
