MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 20

MOTION: Councillor Derren Ó Brádaigh

That this committee agree to write to ESBN requesting that the necessary connections are made to the new pedestrian crossings in Palmerstown Village and to the two new installations at Hayden's Lane, Lucan -furthermore seeking a clear explanation as to the seemingly lengthy delays between installation by SDCC and being made operational by ESBN.

REPORT:

The Traffic Engineer is in regular contact with ESB regarding connections for new pedestrian crossings. Unfortunately, the ESB prioritise residential connections and this has created delays. Lower Lucan Road pedestrian crossing has been made live.  The Haydens Lane pedestrian crossings have been added to the priority list and ESBN have promised that these crossings will be connected within weeks. The Traffic Section are in constant contact with ESBN regarding the remaining 9no. unconnected pedestrian crossings in the county. We hope to get these fully operational as soon as is praticable.
