MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 28, 2023

MOTION NO. 21

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

To ask the Chief Executive for an update report on the Lucan Project and to ask that the possibility of including a pedestrian bridge over the Griffeen river be included.

REPORT:

The Part 8 for the Lucan Village Green and Main Street proposal was debated at the April 2022 Full Council Meeting.

The Members voted on and approved the following amendment;

“To amend the chief executives report to include only the parts of the report focused on the Lucan Village Green, excluding the alterations and removals of parking spaces on Main Street, and making provision for pedestrian crossings, which if they necessitate removal of parking spaces, that alternative spaces are put in place in the immediate vicinity.”

That amendment resulted in the removal from the scheme of the proposed works on Lucan Main Street. The provision of a bridge over the Griffeen from Lucan Village Green to Lucan Main Street would require works to be carried out on Main Street and the removal of car parking spaces, which is something that the Members voted against.
