SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.20

MOTION: Councillor V. Casserly

That this area committee calls on the manager to revise and review traffic management plan in Somerton Park on the various entry/exit points to the estate alongside enhanced road safety and traffic calming measures.

REPORT:

The Somerton Park estate remains a private estate for the moment.  The manager of Goodrock Project Management Ltd. who is tasked with the day to day management of Somerton has been requested to make contact with Cllr in relation to this item. 

It is noted that the estate is built in accordance with the granted planning permission, and in accordance with the Design Manual for Urban Roads and Streets. This means the streets are narrow, with tight junction radii and traffic calming features employed within its design. 

It is likely to be at least a year before Somerton is ready for Taking in Charge.  Until that time SDCC cannot enter and carry out any additional works within this estate.
