QUESTION NO.12

QUESTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

To ask the chief executive for an update on their liaison with the NTA to have a seat installed at Bus Stop #2160 on Convent Road outside Tesco in Clondalkin?

REPLY:

Age Friendly Ireland have provided a specification for appropriate seating in the public realm. The path at this location is too narrow to facilitate such seating without hindering the clear access for pedestrians to pass and alight from the bus.

Therefore, it has been desided that a Bus stop seat cannot be installed at this location due to width restrictions at this time. 

However, our traffic team will approach the shopping centre owners to investigate whether land could be ceded to the council to facilitate a set back bus stop with proper seating.  The success of this approach will be dependant on a third party owners response to this proposal.

Any progress on this negotitation will be forwarded to the members in a group email.
