QUESTION NO. 4

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

To ask the Chief Executive Officer when will the results of the promised traffic survey on Kennelsfort Road Upper be available and when will the decision of the Council to provide a 3.5 T limit on the cell between the Oval and Kennelsfort Road be implemented.

REPLY:

SDCC has procured a new week long Traffic Survey and the results have been received by our Deprtment in the last couple of weeks. I am analysing these results and will compile them into readable format to be presented to the members by email in the next week. 

The imposition of a weight limit is an executive function, due to the technical nature of this type of decision.

Although a 3.5 Tonne limit motion was passed by the members some time ago, it is for the Traffic Department to decide on the appropriate weight limit and including seeking statutory approval from the Gardai, before any weight limit is changed.

I inform this Committee that a County wide weight limit review will take place in the in 2022.  Kennelsfort road will be included in the list of roads to be considered in that review.
