COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

South Dublin County Council Crest

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 19

MOTION: Councillor Alan Hayes

That South Dublin County Council install a removable bollard in the laneway behind houses (address provided) to prevent cars using the lane as a rat run and subsequently increase safety for children and pedestrians.

REPORT:

Removable bollards are not recommended at this location. Access to this laneway is requried by a significant number properties in the area.  It is a public and vehicle right of way.  It is narrow and is only useful fo access to the backs of houses for deliveries and such. It is not accepted that it is a rat run as it is so narrow in nature. There are much easier vehicle routes to choose for the motorist.  The management of keys would be impossible with so many residents with a right to access.
