COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN, NEWCASTLE, RATHCOOLE, SAGGART AND BRITTAS AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

That this Area Committee installs wheelchair access & pedestrian crossings on Lealand road. The current inclines from 68 up to 78 do not work.

REPORT:

The Housing estate on the Lealand road between 68 and 78 Lealand Road is mature estsate, built some time ago.  The gradients and such features as drop kerbs and pedestrian access were not the focus of as much attention when this estate was built.  The gradients cannot be altered much as all the surrounding land is landscaped to these gradients.

There may be scope for assessing the location for improvements in pedestrian access.  However, there is already a long list of priority locations identified and our pedestrian delivery programme for 2024 and 2025 is largely formed from prior customer and Councillor requests.

SDCC will assess the location for suitable locations for pedestrian crossing locations, but it is likely to be positioned well down the delivery list and will not be completed for some time.
