MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.20

MOTION: Councillor D. Ó Brádaigh

That this committee agrees that Road Traffic Department engineers conduct an inspection and feasibility study to explore the construction of a safe pedestrian pathway (approximately 50mtrs) between Esker House (Chinese Gospel Church) on Old Esker Lane and the bus stop on the same side, or determines an alternative safe crossing solution at this bridge.

REPORT:

The Grand Canal to Lucan Urban Greenway project includes the section of the roadway bridge on the old esker lane near the Chinese Gospel Church. As part of the development of the project, it was determined that the northern side of the bridge is too narrow for a footpath and it was not possible to widen the bridge as it is on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH). The project does include improved crossing near the bridge and this phase of the project is expected to begin construction before the end of the year.
