QUESTION NO. 4

QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask the Chief Executive Officer for an update on the current layout of the L1011 including the situation where the path does not the full length on the northern side of the road, lack of cycle lane, lack of pedestrian priority at the roundabout, and barrier posed by kissing gate at entrance to Griffeen Park, in light of the need for more active travel routes and for safe routes to school and to the parks, and if he will make a statement on the matter.

REPLY:

The NTA has provided SDCC with funding to construct a new pedestrian crossing on the western side of the roundabout at the entrance to the Park, the traffic section are currently designing that crossing. We are also examining if a footpath along the northern side of the L1011 can be provided in the space available between the kerb and hedge.

The Public Realm section are assessing the use of kissing gates at the entrances to parks countywide.

Kissing Gates will not be installed on Active Travel routes that are funded by the NTA and a review of all existing routes is underway by the Active Trave lTeam in conjunction with Public Realm.
