REPLY:
There was a meeting between SDCC and TII regarding this matter on 19th January. A summary from TII of progress to date on the Boot Rd junction is outlined below:
- The Feasibility Report was submitted to TII and approved in Dec 2022
- The Design Stage Road Safety Audit (RSA) has been completed and the report is due week commencing 6th February 2023.
- The Design will be finalised following issuing of the RSA report
- Construction works are expected to be completed in end Feb/early March weather dependent for line marking etc.
The works proposed include “Slow” and “Left arrow” markings, delineation bollards and signage including “Keep Left” and chevrons. These measures will help inform approaching vehicles that there is a sharp change in direction and to decrease speed on approach.
In terms of the bus lane, the N7 will be inspected as part of the Road Safety Inspection (RSI) process in 2023. SDCC have discussed this location with TII who will communicate it to the inspection team. If an issue is identified, it can be addressed.
TII welcome corespondance on this matter from elected representatives, and they can be contacted on the email address info@tii.ie and at +353 1 6463600.
