MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive reports on the Part 8 for Proposed Works at Lucan Village Green and Main Street in advance of this being dealt with by members at the wider County Council meeting and responds to the specific queries from the correspondence attached, namely, whether the regular parking spaces in area S2 is 34 or 37 or 43; whether the net loss of spaces has been incorrectly reported throughout the consultation process or if the number of spaces has been overstated in the parking surveys (as it appears that it must be one or the other); to clarify whether the figures in the Clifton Scannell Emerson & Associates study or the Tracsis study are correct as they appear to contradict each other; these all being important clarifications required in advance of any deliberations on the day; and if a statement can be made on the matter.

REPORT:

The Engineering report is based on the Parking survey carried by NDC on behalf of Clifton Scannell Emerson & Associates. Appendix C of the Engineering report published for the Part 8 consultation indicates that there are 37 Pay & Display spaces and 3 Disabled parking spaces (total 40). We have reviewed Main Street and are satisfied that there is a total of 40 legal parking spaces on Main Street as per that survey.

The proposal is to reconfigure the parking spaces on Main street to provide 16 parallel parking spaces, including 3 Disabled Parking spaces.

The Part 8 proposal also identified 10 additional spaces within a short walk of Main street to compensate for the loss of parking on Main Street.

We are currently processing and assessing a very large number of submissions on the Part 8 proposals and intend to bring a detailed report on the proposals to the April Council meeting.

It is intended that sufficient spaces will be identified in the review and the Part 8 report to ensure that the total net loss of parking spaces will remain at 11 or less.
