SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 17

MOTION: Councillor Y. Collins

That this Council reinstates and/or replaces the 10 posts with QR codes which were installed by the Council in conjunction with Knocklyon Network on the Dodder Greenway, but which were subsequently removed by the Council

REPORT:

A comprehensive signage strategy and wayfinding solution has been worked on by our colleagues in the Public Realm section.

The Project Manager for the Dodder Greenway has been closely liaising with them to ensure that the wayfinding for the Dodder Greenway is fully considered in that process and also that the QR codes are incorporated into that strategy. The first element of that was the erection of the corten steel frames at locations in the Dodder Valley Park, which will subsequently have information and wayfinding signage attached to by a Public Realm contractor (yet to be procured).

Unfortunately, due to procurement and other issues that have arisen, that last element has been significantly delayed.

We can arrange to meet a Knocklyon Network representative on site to discuss possible re-instatement of the timber posts whilst awaiting permanent signage installation. Following closing out of any actions from this meeting, this will conclude the Roads department involvement in the project.

I anticipate that if requested these posts will be installed by March/April 2024.
