MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 26, 2024

MOTION NO.20

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

The Chief Executive reviews the parking system and availability in Palmerstown village in the light of massive new housing construction without sufficient parking spaces being provided, as well as two new cafés, in order to facilitate visitor parking but also to protect parking designated for residents in areas such as Woodfarm Cottages and Red Cow Cottages from being blocked by commercial vehicles and especially Go Cars being parked carelessly (despite evidence of multiple fines being issued); and if a statement can be made on the matter.

REPORT:

Action 1: Northern side of the Old Lucan Road- Opposite cottages

The traffic section intend to line out car parking spaces in a proper manner on the northern side of the Old Lucan road opposite the Woodfarm Cottages and Redcow Cottages.  This will maximise capacity and make more efficiently use the space available for parking. 

Action 2: (Southern side of Old Lucan Road - adjacent to cottages)

The Traffic Section will review the parking capacity on the southern side of the Old Lucan Road (adjacent to Woodfarm and Red Cow Cottages) having regard to the provisions of the (Palmerstown) Parking ByeLaws (see attached)

In any event, it should be noted that there are no proposals to provide additional public parking locations in Palmerstown.
