SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, December 15, 2021

MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor William Joseph Carey

"That this Committee agrees that there is a need for a pedestrian crossing to be established on Fonthill Road at the footpath entrance to the area of Clondalkin Commons. This route is frequently used by residents in St. John's/Sruleen for access to Clondalkin community centre including children. In doing so SDCC should ensure that the lights should be synchronised to operate with existing pedestrian crossing situated between St. John's West and Boot Rd."

REPORT:

The proposed location is on the Fonthill Road and is opposite the park entrance with paths that lead to the Community Centre and GAA fields.  I attach a plan of the location to be considered.

The Traffic Section will conduct a Traffic and pedestrian count survey at this location early in the new year to examine if a warrent exists at ths location. I will bring back the results of this survey and any plans resulting from that survey to a TMM for discussion and agreement.  If a controlled pedestrian crossing is recommended, the lights do not need to be synchronised with the other crossings because there is sufficient distance between the existing crossing and the proposed location.
