SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN, NEWCASTLE, RATHCOOLE, SAGGART AND BRITTAS AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

That this Area Committee agrees that a section of the boundary wall along the southern side of the Fonthill Road in Clondalkin at the left turn onto St. John's Road West, be removed in order to improve visibility and line of sight for drivers exiting St. Johns Park East or St. Johns Park West onto St. Johns Road West. This matter has been previously discussed at the May 2022 ACM.

REPORT: 

The request for the removal of a section of boundary wall was referred to the Traffic Section for their examination and advice as to what measures are required in order to provide adequate sight lines at this location.  The Traffic Section does not recommend the removal of a portion of the wall at this location as this could increase speeding by opening up the vision line for vehicles entering from Fonthill Rd South onto St. Johns Park West. The traffic section will undertake investigation works to see if any other safety features can be installed at this location. These investigation works will commence in Q1 2023 once the weather improves.
