MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 22, 2024

MOTION NO.21

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

This motion requests that management provide a report on any plans to upgrade the footbridge over the Adamstown Link Road. The current lighting is inadequate, and the bridge has not been properly maintained. Additionally, there are no litter bins to address ongoing issues with dog litter. As the bridge is frequently used by locals for walking and running, improvements are necessary to ensure it meets the needs of the community.

REPORT:

Adamstown Link Road Footbridge (connecting Hayden’s Lane over Adamstown Road/rail lines) is on the alignment of the Grand Canal to Lucan Urban Greenway. The approved Part 8 identified this footbridge as an area for improvement, potentially through art. The team has been working on the scope of art within the project, with the assistance of the SDCC Arts office, and will continue to develop it. In the meantime, Phase 1a construction is scheduled to begin before the end of 2024 and includes improvements to the approach to the footbridge.
